Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt rejected the idea that "both sides" are to blame for escalating political violence in the U.S., saying, "the George Soros empire has financed a vast ecosystem of radicals, all working together, dropping off bricks at riots to unleash a tidal wave of violent anarchists on our streets and to prop it up in an army of researchers and experts and journalists and propagandists who downplay the political violence."
"Bluesky, the left-wing alternative to X, was so overwhelmed with these posts that the platform was forced to issue a statement warning its users to stop glorifying the murder. And it wasn’t just random social media trolls. It was journalists, elite college professors, and even politicians, all but saying Charlie’s assassination was justified because of what he thought, because of what he said," Schmitt said. "And don’t tell me it’s both sides. It didn’t happen in a vacuum."
"Over the past decade, we’ve seen an explosion of political violence — not just one-off lone-wolf attacks, but organized, systemic political violence at a mass scale. It is not organic," he said. "It is the offspring of a dark and clandestine system funded in part with our own tax dollars, woven together with a large network of foundations, NGOs, activist organizations, and front groups. This system lurks behind every radical leftist movement in our nation today."
SEN. ERIC SCHMITT: Earlier this year, a poll found that more than 55% of people on the left believed that it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Donald Trump. These are not just some abstractions on a page. These are our fellow citizens. How can we come together with people who believe these things?
We’ve all seen the flood of posts on...

That’s because we are not fueled by victim mentality like the Left is.
The old Democrat equivalency argument. The two hardest concepts for Democrats to understand are equivalency and per capita. One they think has something do with tire balancing machinery and the other is an Italian restaurant
If it was “both sides”, conservatives would be on the streets rioting right now.
“...radicals, all working together, dropping off bricks at riots to unleash a tidal wave of violent anarchists on our streets and to prop it up in an army of researchers and experts and journalists and propagandists who downplay the political violence.”
I can remember during the 2020 riots, there was video of a city park in Chicago (I believe) where police were trying to fight off a mob that was being supplied with bricks, cinder blocks and other heavy projectiles that were being hurled at police officers behind a protective barrier. These were in a huge dumpster that had been moved to the park for the rioters to use. It was surreal.
The night MLK was killed there were riots in most major US cities.
There is nothing organic about this crazy, it’s orchestrated by those whose salaries you are paying.
Is anyone else seeing the ridiculous Cato Institute graph that’s begun floating around, supposedly showing politically motivated murders committed by liberals versus conservatives since 1975? It’s beyond stupid. It shows the left at 65 (10%) and the right at 392 (63%). If you click the “show data” link, all you get is the 8 row excel spreadsheet that produced the graph. I’ve seen it about 10 times since yesterday, posted by morons who think they’ve got us now.
Trump secured the border and the democrats said comprehensive is the solution. Total BS. It’s sad we had to wait for a statement election to fix it. That gives us more work to clean up their mess to the point that our work is delayed and less effective.
It’s very clear which side is more intolerant.
Maybe finally doing something about it? I hope so.
Watch the video, guys/gals, as it’s only 16:01 in length.
More importantly, WATCH YOUR SIX.

I started my property insurance investigations with the MLK 68 riots in Chicago. (I had worked that area for candidates 64-66 before going to Vietnam and knew the players.)
It turned out that half the fires on the westside were set by the Dem machine building owners to collect the insurance (which is where I came in, of course.)
The “Axelrod” influence started more fires than the Doug Andrews cry of Burn Baby Burn in Garfield Park.
Maybe we should. A taste of their own medicine!
I always asked why they didn’t track down the company that delivered the bricks and grill the owners. Couldn’t be too difficult.
Then you find out who ordered and paid for them. Charge them with RICO.
Pic them out of business.

liar 239 names. It is limited to “terrorist” movtivated.
1) Why are killers listed but not “attempts to kill” as in the Scalise shooting?
2) How does one define “terrorist” vs politically motivated non-terrorist. Terrorist implies a motive to terrorize. Many political killings and attempted killings are due to hate, jealousy, rage, insanity and lack a terrorist factor.
In my personal experience, most political killings are the incumbents threatened by pain-in-the-ass or emerging contender. They are cold, calculated, not by emotion or mental illness.
What is needed is a COMPLETE list with a column for category of motivation. .... and of course, not limited to “terrorist”
