After federal assault indictment, family who allegedly attacked TPUSA’s Savanah Hernandez granted restraining orders against her

On April 11, Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez was allegedly physically assaulted by a family of three while filming an anti-ICE protest in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

Protesters Christopher Ostroushko, Deyanna Ostroushko, and their daughter Paige Ostroushko allegedly surrounded her, shoved her to the ground, and attacked her after identifying her as a conservative journalist.

The three were federally indicted on April 29, facing charges including assault on a journalist and interfering with a federally protected activity; they pleaded not guilty.

Now there’s another development in the story: The Ostroushkos have filed for numerous restraining orders against Savanah.

On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Savanah shares the details with BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales.

“These radical leftists are always the same. They attack first and then play the victim immediately after,” sighs Sara.

“And unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s playing out again. The family who attacked my friend Savanah Hernandez on camera … now claiming they’re actually the real victims, and they are actually weaponizing the legal system against her.”

Chris, Deyanna, and Paige Ostroushko each filed for and were granted ex parte restraining orders against Savanah in Minnesota state court.

“This is [Chris’] page of complaints against me … a full page of complaints against me and his rationale as to why he needed a restraining order against me because I am so scary and he’s in fear of his life,” Savanah laughs, noting that in his list of complaints, Chris documented that she is “almost six feet tall,” when she in reality she is only 5’4’’.

“Apparently, per the entire family, I’m a well-known agitator for Turning Point USA … and I was just swinging on this whole family for no reason in front of the Whipple ICE facility and I’m a huge monster,” she adds.

Paige’s restraining order, Savanah explains, claims that Savanah was the attacker, even though multiple video angles show the Ostroushko family allegedly swarming her, blowing whistles in her ear, shoving her into a fence, and slamming her to the ground — actions that led to their federal indictment for assaulting a journalist on federal property.

“Paige and Chris are trying to get me completely banned from the entire Whipple ICE facility, and in Paige’s restraining order, she put that she wants me banned from the public sidewalk ‘where the protesters are standing,”’ Savanah tells Sara.

“Chris is even trying to get me banned — not only me, by the way, my entire family — banned from the entire county in Minnesota where he lives,” she adds.

The family have also claimed that Savanah “waged a doxxing and harassment campaign” against them.

“I’ve never shared their personal information,” Savanah counters, “and what they experienced was the consequences of their own actions, and I’m sorry that America didn’t like watching a 300-pound man slam me to the ground.”

Since the Ostroushkos were granted ex parte (temporary) restraining orders without Savanah present, Minnesota law requires her to now appear in court to contest them. She must present evidence showing that their claims are false or unsubstantiated.

But Savanah expressed strong confidence that she will prove all accusations against her false. Not only does she have multiple videos capturing the Ostroushkos allegedly attacking her, but there’s also no evidence, she insists, of any attempt on her part to doxx them.

“Apparently they have some evidence that I don’t know about. To be quite honest, Sara, I would not be surprised if they brought up an AI video. … This is the level we’re at,” she says.

‘Historic’ loss for John Cornyn shows that the George W. Bush era of the GOP is ‘DEAD,’ CNN’s Harry Enten says

CNN analyst Harry Enten says the recent historic loss for a longtime Republican in Texas proves that the Republican Party is completely owned by President Donald Trump.

Enten cited the president shoving longtime Republican Sen. John Cornyn out of the primary election in favor of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as evidence of Trump’s complete control.

‘When a Republican goes up against Donald Trump or Donald Trump really goes up against them, it doesn’t end too well for that Republican senator.’

“It was historic to a degree that we have not seen since my mother was born!” Enten said. “And I’m not gonna give the exact age, but you’ll be able to figure it out because just take a look here.”

Cornyn lost by 28 percentage points, which was the largest by a Republican in primary history, according to Enten.

“His 28-point loss on Tuesday night was the worst, the worst since at least World War II for a Republican senator,” said Enten. “We have seen this over and over and over again — when a Republican goes up against Donald Trump or Donald Trump really goes up against them, it doesn’t end too well for that Republican senator.”

He also cited the end of Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy’s re-election campaign after the president backed one of his competitors.

Enten pointed out that while Trump was 45 points in net negative approval in 2015, he is now over 61 points positive 10 years later, a shift difference of 100 points in the positive direction.

Former President George W. Bush, on the other hand, went from a 57% net approval rating in the party all the way down to only 17% net approval, according to his analysis.

“The George W. Bush era of the Republican Party is, simply put, it is dead,” Enten said. “It is dead, and this was the capstone to it. And Donald Trump’s Republican Party is very much alive. He is the leader of the Republican Party.”

Video of Enten’s analysis was widely circulated on social media.

“George W. Bush, simply put, as I said, … Republican voters are very lukewarm on him, and Republican voters are still very hot to trot on Donald Trump,” Enten added.

“The bottom line is that Donald Trump, it’s his party across the political map, even in George W. Bush’s backyard,” he concluded.

Ferrari’s $640K electric supercar ‘doesn’t even look like a Ferrari’

Ferrari is preparing to launch its first fully electric vehicle — a luxury EV reportedly priced around $640,000 — but BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere believes the legendary automaker may be making a costly mistake.

The car was designed in part by former Apple designer Jony Ive and named after the Italian word for “light,” but it lacks the signature style and soul that made Ferrari famous.

“There’s certain things that happen when you’re watching one of these big product reveals where you don’t need to necessarily have the market dynamics to know immediately, like, this is just not going to work. It looks terrible,” Stu says.

“It doesn’t look like a Ferrari. It looks like they kind of tried to meld some tech device with kind of … an American muscle car … but of course without the cool engine,” he continues.

“It is designed by the guy who designed the iPhone,” co-host Dave Landau points out, adding that “it is a tech device.”

“These companies need to understand, you don’t have to be everything to everybody. You can just be an awesome Italian car company with great engines, and you’ve lived that way for a very long time. You don’t have to please the EV market. Let another company do that,” Stu says.

“You’re ruining the thing that people want,” Dave agrees, adding, “and then you’re just putting this electric in there, and people don’t want it.”

Mamdani vows to SEIZE homes in NYC as socialist mayor goes full mask o​ff

Glenn Beck is sounding the alarm over Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new housing proposal, warning that he’s laying the groundwork for expanded government control over private property.

The new “Block by Block” housing plan includes taking aggressive legal action against landlords — and even transferring their properties to the tenants themselves.

“Through our new citywide campaign, Fix the City, we will focus on the worst landlords in New York City. When necessary, we will take aggressive legal action to remove negligent owners and property managers,” Mamdani said in a speech announcing his plan.

“And for buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, nonprofits, or even the tenants themselves,” he continued.

“Give it to the people,” Glenn comments. “At least they’re saying this out loud.”

“For years, Americans have been told, ‘Nobody wants socialism. Nobody wants communism. Stop overreacting.’ But the masks are finally off. The socialist mayor of New York City openly now talking about taking private property from owners and transferring it to the state’s preferred groups,” he says, shocked.

“That is the language of every socialist movement when it arrives there, when they finally take off the mask. That’s every socialist movement because socialism always runs into the same problem,” he explains, “Eventually, you run out of other people’s money.”

And Glenn has a warning for the crowd cheering on Mamdani’s communist speech.

“Here’s the part Americans need to understand before it’s too late,” Glenn begins.

“Communism never comes wearing a hammer and a sickle. It never comes with jack boots. It arrives with compassion. It arrives with friendly faces. It arrives saying, ‘We just want affordable housing. We just want fairness. We just want safety. We just want equity,’” he continues.

“Until one day, the government decides your property serves the collective better than it serves you,” he says, pointing out that while the government claims it’d only be targeting the “negligent landlords,” this claim is “how every seizure starts.”

“Every expansion of government power begins with a hated group. They never start with the popular people. They start with the rich or the landlords or the oligarchs, the enemies of the people,” he explains.

However, that hated group then starts to grow bigger.

“That definition grows a little more broad, always, “Glenn says, “because once government gains the power to seize property for political or social goals, the argument to seize your property never ends. The category just grows wider and wider and wider.”
