The assassination culture we’re seeing in America right now is not a problem coming from “both sides of the aisle.” Yet this is the claim the mainstream media runs with every time there is an attempt on a conservative’s life, and there have been many in recent years. We witnessed it again this past weekend when President Trump was targeted for death yet again by a radical leftist at the White House Correspondents Dinner in DC.
Both sides need to “lower the temperature,” Democrat leaders tell us, even as they lead the charge in demonizing President Trump on a daily basis.
Large segments among the media, Democrat politicians, and left-wing influencers all agree that Donald Trump is a “fascist” and an “imminent threat to our nation who must be stopped.” They’ve said so publicly, repeatedly, then express shock when one of their followers takes up arms and tries to kill a man they’ve dubbed a “modern-day Hitler.”
Democrat House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, just three days before the latest attempt on President Trump’s life, stated: “We are in an era of maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”
He doesn’t seem too eager to tone down the rhetoric.
And who could forget this tweet from then-President Joe Biden a few months before the 2024 election: “Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”
A few weeks after that tweet, we had Butler, Pennsylvania. Two months after that, we had a crazed left-wing gunman try to assassinate Trump on his golf course in Florida.
Has the left toned down its rhetoric since then? Of course not, it’s only intensified. Even after a leftist plotted to murder Supreme Court Justice Brent Kavanaugh, even after a leftist Bernie Sanders supporter nearly killed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, even after two attempts on President Trump’s life, and even after a transgender activist allegedly murdered Charlie Kirk.
Statements stoking violence remain par for the course for today’s Democrat leaders.
“Is Donald Trump an existential threat to democracy? He is an existential threat to democracy.” — Sen. Elissa Slotkin
“The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, said, no one has ever been more dangerous to this country than Donald Trump, and he is a fascist to his core. Let that sink in, and don’t be a bit afraid of saying it because that’s exactly who he is.” — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz
“An authoritarian criminal presidency fueled by corruption and bigotry, and an ascendant right-wing extremist movement.” — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
And then there is the Clinton operative and Democrat strategist James Carville. Remember him? Here’s his latest strategy regarding President Trump: “I want to be clear on this, I do not want that man to die. I want to I want to watch him suffer, and I can’t watch a dead person suffer. So I want him to be fully cognizant come November when people kill him.”
Remember what they say, there must be “maximum warfare” against the “fascist,” “racist” Trump administration, which they say is intentionally “destroying our country.” He must be stopped, they tell us, at all costs.
Which brings us to Saturday night at the Washington Hilton Hotel in DC.
A 31-year-old liberal from California named Cole Allen attempted to storm the ballroom at the Hilton and gunned down Trump administration officials who had assembled for the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Cole managed to shoot one Secret Service agent, who was thankfully unharmed because he was wearing a bulletproof vest. Cole was stopped before doing any further damage. He was arraigned in DC and will face multiple charges and a long prison term:
Count 1: Attempt to assassinate the President of the United States.
Count 2: Transportation of a firearm and ammunition
Count 3: Discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence
Many questions remain, including how he was able to get so close to the ballroom in the first place.
Cole is a teacher and a graduate of prestigious Caltech University—not the traditional profile for a would-be presidential assassin. Yet his social media accounts show that he was a big supporter of left-wing causes, and it’s clear from the manifesto that he sent to his family prior to Saturday’s events that he had internalized the non-stop “Trump is a fascist” madness coming from Democrats.
Cole wrote of the president, “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” You can hear that same kind of language from Democrats on Capitol Hill any day or in any number of leftist podcasts.
Folks, the left today is a very dark place. Anti-God, anti-family, anti-capitalism, anti-law enforcement, anti-Israel, pro-Islam, pro-transgenderism, and pro-violence. Don’t kid yourself, old-school Democrats like FDR, Truman, and JFK aren’t walking through that door anytime soon because AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Zoran Mamdani have already kicked it down.
It’s a dangerous moment for our country.
