A HEAVILY-armed man with a “TikTok hit list” that included President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci was arrested while driving to the White House, according to police.
Officers found an AR-15-style assault rifle, body armor, medical kits, and a grappling hook when they stopped Kuachua Brillion Xiong’s car on December 21, officials said.
Xiong had the address to the White House in his GPS and told police he was on his way to “combat evil demons,” according to a criminal complaint reviewed by The New York Post.
“Xiong stated that nothing would stop him from carrying out his plan of gaining access to the White House and killing the persons on his ‘hit list,’” the complaint said.
Arrest during traffic stop
Police stopped the 25-year-old from Merced, California, for speeding on Interstate 80 in Cass County, Iowa.
That’s when officers found the assault rifle, ammunition, and loaded magazines, in addition to money “earmarked” for his funeral, court documents said.
During the traffic stop, police said Xiong made statements about his “disapproval for government due to the sex abuse of children.”
In interviews that followed, investigators said Xiong showed them a drawing of the White House grounds.

He had identified a “weak spot” in the White House perimeter and planned to climb a fence using the grappling hook found in his car, the criminal complaint said.
He reportedly told police that he would immediately continue traveling to the White House to complete his plan if released from custody.
‘TikTok hit list’
While talking with investigators, Xiong said he used TikTok “to compile a list of evil individuals he intended to kill,” The Sacramento Bee reported.
The feds say the list included former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, Fauci, and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Xiong added that he “would kill President Joseph Biden unless he promised to comply with Xiong’s demands,” documents said.
The suspect gave investigators access to his cellphone to corroborate his statements, according to law enforcement.
They looked in his calendar and notes apps and found “entries for ‘Survive supplies’ on October 19th, ‘Safe life defense order’ (body armor) on October 19th, ‘Safe life fed defense’ on October 22nd, ‘Rifle pickup’ on October 29th, ‘Silencer order’ on November 5th, and ‘Save USA’ on November 20th, 21st, and 27th,” according to the complaint.
Few details about Xiong’s background have been released, except that he is a former grocery store clerk.
He reportedly had “no intention of returning to California to see his family because he plans on dying while fighting evil demons at the White House,” The Sacramento Bee reported.
Xiong was charged with making criminal threats against a former president.
He made his first court appearance on December 27.
