Washington Man Charged After TikTok Video Called for Armed Rush on White House

A 20-year-old man from Orting, Washington, was arrested after posting a TikTok video in which he allegedly called on viewers to storm the White House and kill President Donald Trump, Law & Crime reports.

Ayden Langevin is charged with interstate communications with a threat to injure. Federal agents arrested him on Sunday at his mother's house in Orting, near Tacoma, where he was living at the time.

In the June 1 video, recorded in what agents described as poor lighting, Langevin allegedly said: "It's as simple as we all grab guns, we all group together, and we all rush the White House and actually kill Trump and all of Secret Service. We aren't doing any of this p— s— where we just storm it. No. We are killing. We have to kill. There is no other way."

Langevin told agents he removed the video after roughly 30 to 40 minutes, believing around 60 followers had seen it before it came down. He said he had been angry about current events, including the Epstein files and the Iran war, and that he regretted making the post.

Prior contacts with the Secret Service

This was not Langevin's first encounter with federal authorities over threatening online posts. According to a probable cause arrest affidavit, he had come to the attention of the U.S. Secret Service roughly two years earlier after posting on X on Aug. 21, 2024: "If Kamala Harris win da election imma assassinate her a—," directed at the then-Democratic presidential nominee.

Agents interviewed him at his Orting home a few months after that post. Langevin acknowledged the X account was his and said he "occasionally" made posts of that nature because he enjoyed "ragebaiting" and trolling people online. He stated he had no intention of harming anyone and told agents he "now understood" that such posts could result in criminal charges.

Instagram threats in between

Despite that warning, Langevin allegedly sent threatening messages to another person via Instagram in September 2025. "Your sick don't let me catch you in public imma dead a— stomp yo face into da concrete," he wrote in one message, according to federal prosecutors. In another, he allegedly stated: "Yo dead homies deserved it and id kill them again nd spit on they grave."

FBI agents and Orting police spoke with Langevin following those messages. He denied making the posts and told officers "he would not make any trouble."

Released on bond, court date set

Following his arrest on Sunday, Langevin was released on bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for September 14.
