Even goat rodeos need clowns.
“If enacted in its current form, this type of broad reveal of criminal investigative files, released to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt,” the Louisiana Republican added. “Not by my vote.”
The lawmaker in his official bio touts himself as “one of the most conservative members of Congress” and often leans into his law enforcement background. He’s also a member of the House Freedom Caucus and serves as chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee, where he’s tasked with investigating corruption.
Throughout his involvement in politics, Higgins has remained lockstep with key principles that “champion for smaller government, lower taxes, secure borders, and individual freedoms,” according to his website.
He has close ties with organizations that advance those core components, including the Three Percenters, which are known for promoting a decentralized and anti-government movement, in addition to the Oath Keepers, who define themselves as a far-right anti-government militia.
The Louisiana lawmaker resigned from the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office after comments he made online drew backlash from the local American Civil Liberties Union, according to KLFY. Eight years later, he came under fire again for criticizing Haitian immigrants and making racist comments after President Trump and Vice President Vance made false claims that they were stealing and eating dogs in Ohio.
“Lol. These Haitians are wild. Eating pets, vudu, nastiest country in the western hemisphere, cults, slapstick gangsters… but damned if they don’t feel all sophisticated now, filing charges against our President and VP,” he wrote in a now-deleted post on the social platform X.
“All these thugs better get their mind right and their a‑‑ out of our country before January 20th,” he added at the time, referring to the presidential inauguration date.
The lawmaker later walked back his comments following heavy backlash.

You remember Clay Higgins, who voted no on releasing the Epstein files? He's second from the right, shaking the hand of former cop Leon Boudreaux who was found guilty of child rape and incest. Leon Boudreaux is the brother of Deon Boudreaux, the Port Barre police chief, where Higgins used to work.
