Starting in 2016, how many of us heard the phrase “bash the fash” or “punch a Nazi” somewhere? I know I heard it or saw it all over the place. Those who espoused such things argued that this kind of thing was acceptable because the threat was so dire. They had every right to resort to violence in the face of what they argued was violence. Of course, no one actually did anything to hurt them, but it didn’t matter because they’d already rationalized it in their minds. Most of those who said it were big on talk, short on...

A new survey finds more than half of left-wing respondents believe assassinating Donald Trump could be justified. Political violence in America is not just a relic of the past. From the attempted assassinations of Donald Trump to the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, to the burning of Teslas in protest of Elon Musk, political violence is a present-day reality. More than 9,000 threats have been made against members of Congress this year—a “huge increase,” according to officials. Are these events aberrations or do they reflect a national problem? Are they connected? And does the public support them? A...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” CNN Senior Correspondent Donie O’Sullivan said that it is “concerning” to see fans of Luigi Mangione cheering violence, his supporters are “people who have actually been really hurt and who are in a desperate situation and have a rage, a sort of rightful rage.” O’Sullivan said, “[M]ost of the time, we’re speaking about right-wing extremism in this country, and that is because that is, by a massive margin, where the extremist attacks have come from, right? From Charlottesville to January 6. However, the reason why we’re focusing on the Mangione fans here is...

Sen.

How much longer will Democrats accept their supporters’ escalating calls for violence? The weekend “Hands Off” protests were wholly expected. President Trump riles up the left like few can. During his first term, the pink-hat protesters hit the streets days after his inauguration. That this administration made it to April without them was something of a miracle.

Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump. In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione. The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response. This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a...

The more troubling trend is the rising violent rhetoric isn’t just coming from the ‘fringe’ left, it’s being ‘normalized’ by the left.The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.” The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, finds a broader “assassination culture” appears to be “emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding...
