Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, slammed a truck into the White House gates then told Secret Service agents: ‘My message was received’ He said he planned the attack for six months and that he would ‘kill the president if that’s what I have to do and hurt anyone that would stand in my way’ The attacker, who also praised Adolf Hitler as a ‘strong leader’, appeared in court on Tuesday ahead of a hearing in a federal courtroom today. The Neo-Nazi who allegedly plowed a U-Haul truck into the White House gates during a failed attempt to kill President Joe Biden told a Secret Service agent: ‘My message was received.’ Sai Varshith Kandula, 19, also told agents who quizzed him after the attack that Adolf Hitler was a ‘strong leader’, an affidavit reveals. Kandula, from Chesterfield, Missouri, smashed the rental truck into security barriers at the White House at around 10pm on Monday while Joe Biden was inside. He then got out of the vehicle carrying a large Nazi flag which was later seen unfurled on the sidewalk. The academically gifted teenager, who is charged with an attempt to kill, kidnap or harm the president, appeared in D.C. Superior Court on Tuesday for a brief hearing before Magistrate Judge Judith Pipe. He was shackled and cuffed, and Judge Pipe rejected a defense request that Kandula be released on bail ahead of a hearing at a federal court today. Court records say Kandula said he wanted to ‘get to the White House, seize power, and be put in charge of the nation’. He praised the Nazis’ ‘strong history’ and their ‘authoritarian nature, Eugenics, and their one-world order’. Kandula also went on the praise Hitler and said he’d planned the attack for six months and would ‘kill the president if that’s what I have to do and hurt anyone that would stand in my way’. He crashed the truck about 800 feet from the White House building before he was detained and police officers recovered evidence including the flag.
