When you gaze at politics through the left tinted lenses of New York magazine, you might conjure up some mighty bizarre observations. Such was the case Tuesday in an Ed Kilgore story entitled: "Republicans See an Upset in Violent Texts From Virginia Democrat."

Kilgore's conclusion in his final paragraph about the "violent texts" from Virginia Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones was to slam Republicans for "cynical manipulation." Nevermind the texts were authentic. New York magazine has determined the reaction to them is the issue:

but MAGA folk will incessantly use his example to buttress their absurd argument that the main source of violent political talk is left of center and will perhaps

Violent political talk, violent political actions, violent political arson and violent political assassinations. The Republicans can barely even muster a good Pounce every now and then.

New York Magazine is hardly a non biased publication. Not sure most people care other than other leftist media.

No. He wished death on the small children of political opponents.

Wishing death on your political opponents is not nice but wishing death on their children? You should be hounded from public life and forced to become a recluse.

No, I think they “seized on” this one. That’s an acceptable alternative stove hack cliche.

I stand by conclusion that leftism is genetic and/or a mental illness

Psychopaths have no conscience.
