Ed Morrissey: America Has A Left Wing Violence Problem

America has once again descended into an era of political violence. And once again, the political violence originates from the American Left. This weekend, the third assassin in less than two years attempted to kill Donald Trump. The would-be assassin left behind a manifesto explaining his rationale. It echoes the Left's "resistance" rhetoric used for the last eleven years. His argument could have easily been a monologue on late-night television or on cable channels like MSNOW. The mainstream Left and the media have demagogued Trump to the point where violent reaction is now the norm. This began from the riot in DC on Trump's first inauguration day through the 2020 George Floyd riots, to the riots in Los Angeles and Minneapolis over immigration enforcement, to these assassination attempts. Despite efforts by the Southern Poverty Law Center and Joe Biden's DOJ to falsely depict conservatives as dangerous, the violence comes from one direction: The left. And all who demagogue over a duly elected president's legitimacy share responsibility for it.
