Christopher B said...: Trump pounces!; 4/5/24, 8:01 AM
Todd said...: Well they are. Both directly and indirectly. The "leaders" of the Democrat party call for "direct action" and their brown shirts in Antifa and BLM actively engage in violence.

The Democrats and their associated action committees spin these violent activists up and down as needed until recently when the "tiger" has started to get away from them.; 4/5/24, 8:01 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: good.
and that's just the beginning.

Moe could be said about Kamala's effort's to fund raise and bail out St.Floyd rioters and BLM-Antifa arsonists and violent criminals.; 4/5/24, 8:05 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: Create videos of the open border.

and mock how the white leftists of Martha's Vineyard cannot handle a few busloads of illegal entrants.; 4/5/24, 8:06 AM
Gunner said...: Libtards will say that he is racist for using clips of black Democrats.; 4/5/24, 8:08 AM
rehajm said...: Democrats are the party of violence with good PR people.; 4/5/24, 8:13 AM
Leland said...: It wasn't Republicans giving rioters room to destroy in 2020. It isn't Republicans calling out the military to harass passengers using public transportation. It isn't Republicans importing rapists from other countries and allowing them to squat in homes.; 4/5/24, 8:15 AM
Kevin said...: Need to frame the debate now for the post-election violence should Trump win.; 4/5/24, 8:15 AM
Cappy said...: Well, they are.; 4/5/24, 8:23 AM
gilbar said...: and, it's Not Just the Old democrats.. Their new replacement democrats are trying to KILL us
BREAKING: illegal arrested in Illinois for st*bbing his wife dozens of times and nearly d*capit*ting her in front of his children.
He entered our country illegally just a few weeks ago.

welcome to HELL! enjoy it!; 4/5/24, 8:30 AM
Robert Cook said...: "Well, they are."

Yes, and the Republicans are flower-necklaced hippie dove-tenders and Peaceniks, man!; 4/5/24, 8:41 AM
Freeman Hunt said...: Now his campaign can wait for Democrats to object and then roll out new ads on the same theme cut from the functionality limitless supply of video from the riots and from poorly run cities.; 4/5/24, 8:45 AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: the left:

But Jan 6th!
But abortion on demand until birth!; 4/5/24, 8:50 AM
Sebastian said...: Good ad. But really Dems are the party of violence that works: it works rhetorically in mobilizing the troops, it works practically in exercising terror when required (Ferguson, 2017, BLM, etc.), and it works legally in using state violence through lawfare against the opposition.; 4/5/24, 8:50 AM
Chest Rockwell said...: Should have thrown in some 2020 riot footage while they were at it.; 4/5/24, 8:52 AM
Dave Begley said...: The George Floyd riots were run by the Democrats and few paid any price.; 4/5/24, 8:59 AM
Bonkti said...: That's malinformation.

Don't worry.

It will be suppressed until after November.; 4/5/24, 9:04 AM
Wilbur said...: Surprised he left out the Barack Hussein Obama examples.

Truth be told, you can put together clips of members of both parties talking shit like this. But it was the Democrat party that labled the GOP as "the party of violence" so they have this coming to them.; 4/5/24, 9:13 AM
who-knew said...: Punching back twice as hard: "New Trump ad paints Democrats as the party of violence". It's easy to do since they are. And I think they should punch back even harder with video of the 2020 riots as Chest Rockwell suggests and video of the 2016 riots at Trumps inauguration. Here n Wisconsin I see multiple ads every day from claimed Republicans who urge me to vote for Biden because rump supposedly caused a full scale insurrection on Jan 6th 2021. If Trump is really punching back, this ad and stronger ads will start appearing, and soon.; 4/5/24, 9:23 AM
Mike said...: I'm sorry, which candidate has called on people to beat up protesters at his rallies? Which has said police should beat the hell out of suspects? Which has turned murderous cops into heroes? Which has called for invading Mexico? Which assassinated a high-ranking foreign official? Which had more drone strikes and removed restrictions on killing civilians? Which ultimately sent a mob of his protesters to try to murder his own vice President?

This Cult of Trump is honestly so pathetic.; 4/5/24, 9:34 AM
Yancey Ward said...: The Left is the party of violence- always has been in the U.S.; 4/5/24, 9:35 AM
gspencer said...: AA, glad you ran this. But I sense that your putting it up has a little "Can you believe that some people think this about Democrats" behind it.

But the Democrats are the party of FORCE. When your goal is to control the people then regulating the daylights out of them is a natural. And regulation is force. Statute after statute, each carrying punitive measures for failure to comply, is stock-in-trade for Democrats.

The idea of simply leaving us alone is not within the Democrats' plans. So force, leading if necessary, to violence is the Democrat Way.; 4/5/24, 9:50 AM
BUMBLE BEE said...: Remember the camoed Black Panthers at the polling place with their riot batons? BHO cooed about 'em.; 4/5/24, 9:50 AM
BUMBLE BEE said...: Cookie replies... speechless.; 4/5/24, 9:51 AM
Gusty Winds said...: Democrats are the party of violence. We watched is all summer long 2020.

Here in WI, our Beta Cuck Gov. Tony Evers let Kenosha burn as he was instructed. The asshole refused to send in requested National Guard troop volumes to quell the situation quickly. Kenosha was begging him, and he knew damn well BLM and ANTIFA agitators we're flocking in from all over the country to ramp up the mayhem.

So...Kyle Rittenhouse had to put out the Kenosha fires...; 4/5/24, 9:52 AM
The Real Andrew said...: Excellent! If anything, it's too mild. As others have said, add some BLM riot footage.

And to counteract the way the Dems use Jan. 6, show the protestors who tried to storm the White House. Why wasn't that an assault on our democracy? Why were the officers injured there less important than Capitol police officers? I still hear that event described as "peaceful".; 4/5/24, 10:20 AM
GingerBeer said...: Imagine what the Trump commercials will look like w/ footage from the DNC Convention in Chicago this August.; 4/5/24, 10:35 AM
Jupiter said...: Have you ever seen a mob of Republican looters?; 4/5/24, 10:39 AM
Michael Fitzgerald said...: That was fucking tame. I guess Trump is taking his own advice that he just gave Israel to not show any scary images. Still makes my blood boil though.; 4/5/24, 10:46 AM
Jaq said...: "This Cult of Trump is honestly so pathetic."

You might engage in a little deprogramming by providing original, in context, quotes, for your claims.

.... I'll wait.

...

...; 4/5/24, 11:25 AM
Rabel said...: It's specifically about Democrats and their celebrity enablers using rhetoric calling for or supporting violence. It's in response to the reaction to his "bloodbath" remarks. Riot footage would have been off-theme.; 4/5/24, 12:04 PM
Joe Smith said...: Democrats have always been the stormtroopers. From slavery to the KKK and now to Antifa and BLM.

The radical left are socialist, marxist thugs. Always have been.; 4/5/24, 12:53 PM
Skeptical Voter said...: Ah Tim in Vermont--calling Mike out--doncha know speech is violence? Just ask Mike.; 4/5/24, 12:58 PM
JaimeRoberto said...: I wonder if he has more teed up. I hope he does.; 4/5/24, 1:13 PM
Rusty said...: BUMBLE BEE said...
Cookie replies... speechless.
Yeah. When his beloved leftest thugs get besmirched he has to show that the other other side is just as bad. Except they aren't.
Who shot up a bunch of Republicans palying soft ball, Cook?
Oh, yeah. One of your Bernie Sanders socialist fans.; 4/5/24, 2:31 PM
Rabel said...: I intended to say "Democrat politicians and their celebrity enablers."; 4/5/24, 3:09 PM
Former Illinois resident said...: Well, it's factual reporting of actual statements spoken, without artful editing to create what wasn't intended to be conveyed, so how can it be "misinformation"?

I've plenty female friends who were angry pussy-hats after 2016 election, and joyous after 2020 election was called for Biden. But that said, they don't acknowledge the rhetoric noted in this commercial, and likely never will.; 4/5/24, 3:23 PM
Mason G said...: "Well, it's factual reporting of actual statements spoken, without artful editing to create what wasn't intended to be conveyed, so how can it be "misinformation"?"

Leftists will consider it to be anyway, because that's how they operate so they figure everybody else does, too.

They're not nearly as aware as they imagine themselves to be.; 4/5/24, 3:49 PM
Jim at said...: This Cult of Trump is honestly so pathetic.

If we were half as violent as you accuse us of being, you'd be dead already.

Yet, there you sit. Pounding your keyboard without a care in the world.

Careful what you wish for, bud. You just might get it.; 4/5/24, 3:51 PM
Achilles said...: Chest Rockwell said...

Should have thrown in some 2020 riot footage while they were at it.

Comon now. It has been almost 10 years since Trump has taken over the political space.

You know Trump has the second video all ready to go when the Democrats get angry about this one.

I also think Trump is trying to focus on actual Democrats and not the Democrat voters.; 4/5/24, 3:58 PM
Achilles said...: Mike said...

I'm sorry, which candidate has called on people to beat up protesters at his rallies? Which has said police should beat the hell out of suspects? Which has turned murderous cops into heroes? Which has called for invading Mexico? Which assassinated a high-ranking foreign official? Which had more drone strikes and removed restrictions on killing civilians? Which ultimately sent a mob of his protesters to try to murder his own vice President?

This Cult of Trump is honestly so pathetic.

This is how stupid and dishonest you have to be to be a democrat.; 4/5/24, 4:00 PM
Achilles said...: Robert Cook said...

"Well, they are."

Yes, and the Republicans are flower-necklaced hippie dove-tenders and Peaceniks, man!

As always Cook provides us with a post full of all of the examples and substance you would expect from someone in the 95 IQ crowd.; 4/5/24, 4:02 PM
Michelle Dulak Thomson said...: Mike,

I'll address only one of your complaints. Trump "assassinated a high-ranking foreign official"? Soleimani, I assume. Come now. Suppose Biden assassinated Putin. Would you be calling for Biden's head?

Israel just assassinated half a dozen or so Iranian "high-ranking foreign officials" in Syria. That is also, obviously, wrong. Right?; 4/5/24, 4:47 PM
Joe Smith said...: 'As always Cook provides us with a post full of all of the examples and substance you would expect from someone in the 95 IQ crowd.'

You're being pretty goddamn generous...; 4/5/24, 4:59 PM
Craig Mc said...: And they didn't even have to use the BLM/Antifa terrorism, arson and looting to make their point.; 4/5/24, 6:00 PM
MikeD said...: There's absolutely no point in Joe's life where DJT couldn't have kicked the shit outta him!; 4/5/24, 9:45 PM
JAORE said...: Sure it's true the left is more violent. But it's mostly peaceful violence.

Right?

They also censor more.
Are more fascist.
Are more racist.
Are antiscience.
And more.

Masters of projection.; 4/6/24, 10:34 AM
