This is agitprop.

The truth is that Congressional Democrats were concerned about their base back in September, and they're counting on the LAAP-dog media to bury that story down the memory hole so they can virtue signal off of Charlie Hurt's death today.

Axios via MSN (7/7/2025): "There needs to be blood": Democrats' voters tell them to "get shot" in Trump resistance push

Excerpt:

At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.

Why it matters: House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law...

What we're hearing: The grassroots wants more. "Some of them have suggested ... what we really need to do is be willing to get shot" when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios...

A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them "civility isn't working" and to prepare for "violence ... to fight to protect our democracy."

A fifth House Democrat told Axios that "people online have sent me crazy s*** ... told me to storm the White House and stuff like that," though they added that "there's always people on the internet saying crazy stuff."

A sixth House Democrat said that when they try to persuade voters to channel their frustration into a focus on winning back Congress in 2026, "people who are angry don't accept that. They're angry beyond things."

Zoom in: Many lawmakers said these voters tend to be white, well-educated and live in upscale suburban or urban neighborhoods.

"What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and ... a lot of times that's coming from economically very secure white people," said an eighth House Democrat...

The bottom line: "The expectations aren't just unreal. They're dangerous," the eighth House Democrat said.

Don't let the liberal LAAP-dog media whitewash away their own reporting from just a few months ago.

They not only told us WHAT they were going to do, they told us WHO was going to do it.

I want to add that even Fox News reported on this story back in July. It's a shame that they're acting like they have no memory of it now.

Fox News (7/7/2025): Dem lawmakers say their voters are threatening 'blood' and 'violence' over inability to hinder Trump: report

Excerpt:

Democratic lawmakers say their voters are enraged at the lack of ability to counter President Donald Trump's agenda, with some saying they could resort to "violence," Axios reported Monday.

The outlet says it spoke to over two dozen House Democrats to measure the temperature of the Democratic base. What it found was red-hot anger and a burgeoning desire to circumvent the rule of law, where explanations that Democrats simply don't hold enough power in Washington fall on deaf ears.

"We've got people who are desperately wanting us to do something... no matter what we say, they want [more]," Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., told the outlet.

It's time for Fox talent to bring this back up before the LAAP-dog media can change the narrative away from their side.
