After the assassination attempt on Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and other Republican members of Congress, I wrote that “the caustic and toxic gasoline of hate speech” was inviting someone “to light the match that will ignite a bond fire of political assassinations…”
A year later the rhetoric and actions of the left have gotten worse and borders on incitement to violence against those who implement and support the Trump agenda. Unfortunately, it is encouraged by little condemnation and therefore tacit approval of much of the Democratic and mainstream media leadership.
A few examples: Entertainer Samantha Bee calling the President’s daughter a “c***; actor Robert De Nero bringing a Tony Award audience to its feet applauding his “f***” Trump tirade; actor Peter Fonda calling for putting the president’s young son in a cage with pedophiles, wanting White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders’ children to be kidnapped and Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to be “put in a cage… naked whipped … while being filmed…”
As if these hateful comments were not enough, the anti-Trump crowd has turned up the heat with in-your-face public confrontations of Trump officials:
• Protesters invaded a Washington, D.C. restaurant to harass Secretary Nielsen. They were within feet of her table while her security detail appeared helpless — anyone in the mob could have taken a shot. They also protested at her home.
• Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked to leave a Lexington, Virginia, restaurant. Now, she and her family will get Secret Service protection at their home. • Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was harassed and subjected to profanity-laced verbal assaults at a movie theatre in Tampa.
• Labor Secretary Elaine Chao and her husband Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-Ky.) were harassed leaving a Georgetown University event.
The icing on the political hate-cake was Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Ca.) urging people to harass Trump officials and “tell them they are not welcome anymore, anywhere…”
Waters’ rant was a bit over the line even for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) and several other Democrats who were forced to condemn her message.
However, Schumer, Pelosi and their Democrat colleagues have not, that I have seen or heard, gotten around to condemning the “Nazi mania” of some of their colleagues and journalist friends who have compared the president’s policies on dealing with the Southern border with Hitler’s concentration camps.
MSNBC pundit Donny Deutsch went so far as to say that anyone who voted for Donald Trump was a “Nazi.”
In an article entitled “Trump’s Critics Desecrate the Holocaust,” writer Jay Winik wrote that the “comparison to the Holocaust is an obscene lie.”
He quoted MSNBC host Joe Scarborough who said that “just like the Nazis said that they were taking people to the showers and then they never came back.”
Not to be outdone, former Central Intelligence Agency Director Michael Hayden tweeted a photo of railroad tracks leading to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.
Hats off to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who lost family at the death camp, for challenging Hayden on his comparison: “As bad as the policy may be, it is not Auschwitz.”
We have heard few, if any, words condemning such rhetoric from Democrat leaders, liberal media commentators, or Jewish organizations such as the AntiDefamation League of B’nai B’rith.
Deutsch, Scarborough and others so in love with the Holocaust-border comparison should read Winik’s article. It graphically described the horror of cattle car like trains packed with Jews arriving at Auschwitz after a harrowing two-to-three day trip “with little air or light, no food and virtually no water.”
He described the “…chaos, confusion and horror…the odor of burning human flesh and hair” where prisoners “didn’t know that most of them would be ash within hours.”
Things are so toxic that many Democrats, liberal pundits, and leftists are comparing those who perpetrated such horrors to Trump voters and the men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — 40 percent of whom are Hispanic — and making them targets.
As reported in The Daily Caller, the radical violent group Antifa tweeted out a list of over “1,500 ICE agents’ identities.” There’s even a growing “Occupy Ice” movement spreading throughout the nation calling for the abolition of ICE, closing down ICE facilities, and, in some cases, calling for the killing of ICE agents.
Several members of Congress have jumped aboard the “ICE is evil” express train advocating the abolition of ICE. The newest passenger is presidential “wannabe” Senator Kamala Harris (D-Ca.) who now wants to tear ICE down and “start from scratch.”
Talk about hypocritical exploitation of an issue for political gain, just a few months ago in March, Harris told MSNBC that “ICE has a purpose,” “ICE has a role,” “ICE should exist…”
And let’s not omit those late-night talkshow hosts who further pollute the septic tank political environment by their vicious, vitriolic, not-so-funny personal attacks on Trump and, recently, Sarah Sanders.
These name callers, protesters, and their enabling supporters in Washington, Hollywood — and the major media — should not be surprised if the consequences of their anti-Trump rhetoric inspires one of their crazed leftist disciples to assassinate one of those against whom they so soundly spew hate. They should not be surprised if there is retribution.
It is only a matter of time. The only question is who the victim or victims will be.
The left are in an all out do or die war against America.
IOW, a lot of people are going to die and martial law will have to be declared.
Why doesn’t one of these legislators submit an anti-ICE bill? Have all members of Congress on it. Then we will have them accounted for as against the rule of law and in violation of their oath of office. Call them out.
Great article. It is time for Americans to react to these communists with force. How many Americans must be shot and assaulted ? It is time to not turn the other cheek .
Christians are well aware of the New Testament verses where Jesus admonishes us to turn the other cheek and to beat our swords into plowshares. What Jesus did NOT say was to stand there and be slapped silly and to NEVER defend yourself.
We are at war - not one we started, but one that we must end.
Well written, and he cites examples to prove his point. From another recent article by McKee. . .
We are witnessing one of the most toxic, dangerous, and politically hostile environments since the political assassinations, riots, and social chaos of the 1960’s. Prominent Democrats and some of their liberal media and entertainment industry comrades are filling the political air with dangerous ignitable fumes of intolerant, hateful exaggerated rhetoric.
The list of those willing to sink to the bottom of the fear mongering septic tank is lengthy.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., “This is a line that’s been drawn about whether we are going to criminalize women, whether we are going to be arresting women for making decisions about their bodies.”
Sen. Kamala Harris ,D-Calif., “We are looking at the destruction of the Constitution. “We cannot relent. We will have to fight ‘til the end.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., “We do not want an extremist judge on the United States Supreme Court. . . women’s health, equal marriage, and civil rights are all at risk. This is the fight of our lives.”
The Democrats’ unhinged feeding frenzy over Trump appointing another Supreme Court Justice is shared by their friends in the media.
NBC ‘s “Meet the Press” Moderator Chuck Todd said in a tweet: “>>>summer is going to suck . . . it will be ugly; normally nice people will act like idiots . . . “
MSNBC Host Chris Matthews: “Democrats must fight tooth and nail … this is the time for vengeance for what happened two years ago…”
CNN’s Don Lemon, “If President Trump gets another conservative Justice on the Court Roe v. Wade is at risk; there will likely be more cases of business owners claiming religious freedom to refuse to serve Gay people . . . campus affirmative action programs could be on the chopping block.”
CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Tobin, “ . . . 20 states will pass laws banning abortion outright . . . abortion will be illegal in a significant portion of the United States in 18 months . . . “
Comedian Stephen Colbert: “ . . . we are supremely screwed.”
Documentary Film Maker Michael Moore, “If this judge goes through… it’s a right-wing court . . . It’s over…We first have to find ways to stop that vote from happening . . . we’re all going to have to put our bodies on the line.”

Remember those fights outside of candidate Trump rallies that the media breathlessly reported?
Paid for by the Hillary campaign. They stopped when Project Veritas exposed Hillary and Obama’s stooge Robert Creamer who coordinated them.
Over 40,000 sealed indictments in the PACER system. The average indictment is something like 2.5 persons. So we are talking potentially 100,000 arrests/arraignments/detentions. I have no idea how the logistics of this will work, or possibly not work. I expect military justice will augment the usual courts.
But it's safe to say it won't all go down without incident, not even nearly.
President Abraham Lincoln, love him or hate him, was murdered by a crazy leftist democrat actor 153 years ago. It’s like that meme about learning all one needs to know about islam from 9/11, you’d think we would have figured out democrats by now.
Well, that’s it then. If Moore enters the fray we’re screwed. I mean, he counts as a division! But, on the other hand, there is his extreme lack of mobility, so call him a slooooow motion division. We can stun him using white chicken meat rounds then put him out of action with a nitrogen oxide C-Pap when he hibernates after gorging.
I was discussing this very subject today with my wife. We both agreed we’ve never seen this level of hostility and agreed that if the Left doesn’t back off there will be violence and someone IS going to get killed. How in hell mobs of people, dressed in black, with masks, helmets and armed with clubs and bats are allowed time and again to assemble in the streets and get away with what they do tells me there is truly an organized power behind this, funding it and a compliant media egging it on. This is going to get dark and ugly. This is 1861 all over again.
1. John Wilkes Booth, a Democrat, shot Republican President Abe Lincoln.
2. Republican Garfield was shot and killed by Guiteau.
3. Republican William McKinley was shot and killed Leon Czolgosz, an left-wing anarchist.
4. Lee Harvey Oswald, a Communist, shot Democrat President JFK.
5. Democratic-Republican Party Andrew Jackson was shot at by Richard Lawrence, a Democrat and felt to have conspired with John C. Calhoun, a Democrat.
6. John F. Schrank, a Democrat, shot Republican Theodore Roosevelt.
7. Republican Harry S. Truman was attacked in the alternative Whitehouse by Oscar Collazo and Griselio Torresola, Socialists from the Puerto Rican revolutionary Nationalist Party.
8. Republican Gerald Ford was shot at by Lynette Fromme, a member of the Charles Manson family.
9. Republican Gerald Ford was shot at by Sara Jane Moore, a “revolutionary”.
10. Republican Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley, while raised in a conservative home under a business leader, Hinckley turned to music and a more liberal lifestyle.
2018 Red Wave MAGA, 2020 KAG here we come......
Most misrepresented verse in the Bible.
We have had a “shot heard around the world” before and I expect we will have one again.

If one believes the trash truck crashing into the train with over 300 republicans on it the day after the SOTU speech was an accident I have a bridge to sell you.
They attempted to murder all of them.
“Waters’ rant was a bit over the line even for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi...”
I think it’s hilarious that Trump is now calling Waters the new leader of the Democrat party. He’s sticking it to Pelosi and Schumer x2, goading and tormenting them. They must be so pissed. He’s saying they’ve been surpassed in power by an addlepated clown. So funny.
Truman was a democrat.
