You can't fix a problem if your diagnosis hinges on blaming its victims. If the Democrats actually care to tackle political violence, the Left needs to own up to the fact that it is responsible for inculcating a culture of violence that targets the Right. https://t.co/VaOPejzOQI

The hack D media created fake polls and charts to attempt to give the impression right wingers are on the march.
She’s fearless, honest and always on point.

The Democrats are fine with political violence. They’re the ones who say that “Your speech is violence. Our violence is speech.”
As in most things, it’s better to give than to receive. Those calls for maximum warfare may soon be answered. I’m not advocating violence in any way, but I don’t expect everyone is going to be content with putting up with violence and will respond in kind.
She's not incorrect.
Today's theme seems to be trolling
This practice dates back at least to the 1990s when (then college-based) ANTIFA wanted to dress in black and wear masks per the revolutionary cosplay of hard left grandkids. Never mind that none of the nominal right-wing groups of the day wore masks.
Cognitive dissonace. Many also seek narcissistic gains as the next martyr or saint.
Its hard to find a Conservative or Rightwinger shooting or attempting to kill a Liberal/left DC politician in the last 46 years . Almost every asssassination attempt is against Republicans. And the assassins are usually leftists. Even when they're written off as "Nuts" - their "Nutty" beliefs are leftwing.
We're now on Assassin attempt 3 against Trump. He's been shot and only survived by a miracle. And that's not counting all the attacks on the white house and asssassins that never got close enough to be a real danger.
Nobody tried to kill Obama or Clinton or Biden. Not to mention "Republican Lite" George Bush.
The constant vicioous, over the top rhetoric in the Leftwing MSM has its affect. Last poll showed almost 10 percent of liberal/leftists considered an assassination of either Trump or Elon Musk "completely justified".
Youtube cut out when she says "The Southern Poverty Law Center" This happens @ 1:38. Go watch/listen.
LOL -- Google is censoring.
She is exactly right - the leftist data is all tainted with omissions .
Pleading with the democrats and the liberal/left power elite to change their ways hasn't worked and never will. The Republicans will have to use Governmental power. And they will never do that.
Ann - thank you. That clip is probably the most important evidence that our media feeds us all false data.

How about all those racist Nazis (like Inga's favorite Bugaloo Boys) who tried to assassinate Barack Obama multiple times?
Outside of those that list the J6 protesters as violent right-wingers, I don't think you can necessarily tell the voting habits of some these "We Have a Graph" groups count as "violent right-wing". Islamist attacks, because they're authoritarian. Some guy who joined a white gang in prison gets into a fight when he's out, or commits domestic violence, that's another right-wing attack. Anti-semitic attack by pro-Palestinian protesters, were also classified as right-wing.
It's probably been a couple of years since I tried looking up what they were classifying as right-wing, and maybe it's changed, but the definition seemed very broad and what classified as left-wing was very narrow.
Here are ten of the most prominent acts of right-wing political violence since 9/11:
El Paso Walmart Shooting (2019): A gunman targeting Hispanics to stop a perceived "Hispanic invasion" of Texas killed 23 people in El Paso, Texas.
Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting (2018): A gunman harboring antisemitic and anti-immigrant views killed 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania synagogue.
January 6 U.S. Capitol Attack (2021): A pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, driven by unfounded claims of a stolen election, leading to multiple deaths, hundreds of injuries, and numerous convictions for seditious conspiracy.
Charleston AME Church Shooting (2015): White supremacist Dylann Roof killed 9 Black parishioners during a Bible study at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
Buffalo Supermarket Shooting (2022): A white supremacist, motivated by the "Great Replacement" theory, shot and killed 10 people at a supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York.
Wisconsin Sikh Temple Shooting (2012): A white supremacist and army veteran opened fire at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, killing 6 worshippers.
Plot to Kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer (2020): Anti-government extremists and members of the "boogaloo" movement were arrested for plotting to kidnap the Michigan governor to start a "civil war".
Charlottesville "Unite the Right" Rally (2017): A neo-Nazi rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing activist Heather Heyer and injuring 28 others.
Overland Park Jewish Community Center Shooting (2014): Former KKK leader Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. shot and killed 3 people at a Jewish community center and a Jewish retirement home in Kansas.

Based on data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), New America, and various news reports up to 2026, left-wing political violence since 9/11 has predominantly focused on property destruction (arson, vandalism) by environmental or animal rights groups, along with a recent, significant rise in violent attacks against law enforcement and political figures associated with the right, particularly after 2016.

Here are ten of the most prominent acts/campaigns of left-wing political violence since 9/11 (2001–2026):
Congressional Baseball Shooting (2017): James Hodgkinson, a left-wing extremist, opened fire on Republican lawmakers practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game, wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and three others.
Dallas Police Shooting (2016): A sniper killed five police officers at a protest in Dallas, Texas. The shooter was targeting white police officers and held views consistent with Black nationalist extremist groups, a segment of left-wing extremism, according to analysis of extremist movements.
Plot to Assassinate Charlie Kirk (2025): The killing of a prominent conservative figure, which reports attributed to a left-wing extremist, highlighting a rise in high-profile politically motivated assassinations.

Portland Murder of Patriot Prayer Member (2020): Michael Forest Reinoehl, an "anti-fascist" (Antifa) supporter, shot and killed a member of the right-wing Patriot Prayer group during protests in Portland, Oregon.
Earth Liberation Front (ELF) Arson Campaigns (2000s): While active before, the ELF (a radical environmental group) continued high-profile property damage throughout the early 2000s, including the 2003 burning of several luxury homes in San Diego, costing over
million in damages.
Shooting of Officer Jason Raynor (2021): Othal Wallace shot and killed a Daytona Beach, Florida, police officer. Wallace had ties to radical Black nationalist groups, including the "Not F***ing Around Coalition" (NFAC).
Shooting at DNC Office in Arizona (2024–2025): A man was arrested for firing shots at a Democratic National Committee office, which studies on political extremist violence cite as part of a trend of violent threats and acts of sabotage.
Assassination/Attack on Minnesota Officials (2025): The killing of a Minnesota state legislator and her husband, part of a surge in violence targeting democratic institutions.
Washington Family Foundation Bombing Attempt (2012): A small-scale bombing attempt at a conservative think tank in Washington D.C., part of a rise in, while often low-lethality, violent actions by anarchist or extreme left-wing individuals.

The right has a bigger body count and the left goes after higher value targets.
So much of the theatre kids left is reenacting the scene from Gump with the line, "It's just the war and that sonuvabitch Johnson!" over and over. Can't even tell how many lefty X posts I saw blaming Trump's rhetoric or other amorphous historical slight by him for being a target.
The Democrats are fine with political violence.
If the response to Charlie Kirk's murder didn't convince you, no amount of charts and graphs will.
How many right wing women swooned for Luigi?
"The right has a bigger body count"
What?
Show us the honest data to support this, Howard.
The 'property damage' you refer to seems to exclude the George Floyd riots entirely - including the 26 deaths associated with them. Funny, that.
Leftist data leaves out 9/11 and the deaths that were caused by the leftist-Democrat party inspired George Floyd riots. Similar to the Ferguson rioting- where black communities were damaged and broken, & burned down in white left rage.
Actual white leftist racism is much larger problem., and is under reported.
Leftist data also includes so-called white supremacists who don't partake in political violence at all - and are merely meth dealers.
While both rigth right and left have a anti-Semitic radicalized contingent - most antisemitism in the US is leftwing. Kefeya wearing tools are not counted..
Howard didn't watch the clip.
The Minnesota assassin who successfully killed democrats in positions of power - he worked for Tim Walz.
The left claim that The Walz assassin supported Trump - but there in no direct evidence of that. The assassin lived in a very nice and expensive house with his wife and children... and also had a double life with a room-mate, in town. The media treat that room-mate as if he is an honest broker. Why? Because the media are hacks.
Howard immediately starts affirming the claims of the original post. Just one example:
Overland Park Jewish Community Center Shooting (2014): Former KKK leader Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. shot and killed 3 people at a Jewish community center and a Jewish retirement home in Kansas.
Riiiiiight. The "former KKK leader" who's killing Jews in 2014 is a "right-wing" extremist.
M-kay.
I guess distancing himself from the KKK made it difficult for the left to continue claiming him.
If the response to Charlie Kirk's murder didn't convince you, no amount of charts and graphs will.
Yep. The sheer amount of "sorry they missed a 3rd time" I saw yesterday on X outweighs any rhetoric from the right ever. How many actors have invoked the memory of JW Boothe in the Trump era? Rick Wilson said "someone needs to put a bullet in Trump." Rick used to be a GOP staffer, but went crazy left during Trump. Like Bill Kristol.
The corrupt vile left - do not include Charlie Kirk on any list - because they know damn well the killer was a groomed hate-fueled leftist.
I didn't watch the clip but this post by Glenn Reynolds on Instapundit of Ungar-Sargon's analysis of a CSIC graph in the WSJ purporting to show parity between Left and Right political violence is a succinct explanation of how they cooked the books by coding all anti-semitic attacks as right-wing and pro-Palestinian violence as ethnonationalism rather than left-wing.
Whenever white supremecist kills his girlfriend in a meth-induced frenzy, that gets counted at rightwing violence. Whenever an Antifa operative kills his girlfriend in a meth-induced frenzy it is not counted as leftwing violence; and, if the meth dealer is a white supremecist, that that second murder can be counted as rightwing violence.
The buffalo shooter was conveniently in contact with an fbi agent of course the whitmer plot waa stage managec
Divided we fall...
Americans are not an eye for an eye people.
Violence is not the answer.
E Pluribus Unum.
Divided, we are failing the country as a whole, no matter how good some have it today and how much your stocks are up.
America is always a more violent place in wartime. Choose life. Choose peace. Stop worshipping weapons, political prosecutions and those who think political violence and blaming it on "the other side" is entertaining...
It's not.
He didn't "miss".. he never got a shot off nor even made it to the proper floor of the venue. We are really stretching the assassination attempt description to get the ballro9m bunker built. That will protect select ppl in DC from the drone warfare that will be coming one day here too...
Their lists don't include Charlie Kirk?!?
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.
Full two and a half minutes of Democrats calling for political violence — link to video
At least three of Howards claims of right wing violence are actually left wing, thus proving the point of the above article. The Whitmer kidnapping hoax was funded, run, organized, and set up by Joe Biden's FBI. The Charlottesville thing was all organized, funded, and coordinated by the SPLC. Hoffman's murder was by a left-winger who worked for Tim Walz.
And now we know the SPLC funded and paid for many of the so-called "White supremcist" attacks.
I will end with this quote from the Babylon Bee on the "Both sides commit violence!" thing:
'This Is A Both Sides Issue,' Says Side That Shot President Trump, Assassinated Charlie Kirk, Tried To Assassinate Kavanaugh, Tried To Shoot Trump Again, Shot Steve Scalise, Firebombed Governor Shapiro, Tried To Shoot Trump A Third Time, murdered schoolkids in Minnesota, murdered schoolchildren in Nashville, burned an elderly Jewish woman to death in Colorado, murdered a couple at the Jewish embassy in D.C., seized campus buildings and held janitors hostage, assaulted students on campus who appeared Jewish, ambushed ICE officers in Dallas and shot an officer in the neck, assassinated FBI officer David Underwood, assassinated the United Healthcare CEO, cheered the murder of over 1,200 civilians on October 7th, murdered schoolkids in Colorado in 2019, injured over 700 police offers in 2020 riots, murdered retired police captain David Dorn, murdered a 16-year-old boy in "CHAZ", burned down Minneapolis, firebombed a Washington ICE center, murdered six people in Waukesha, assassinated five Dallas officers in 2016, assassinated three police in Baton Rouge in 2016 (you know what, we're going to stop now, this is getting sad)"
And that was before the latest leftist attempt to kill Trump.
Also: which party elected as attorney general a man who openly called to literally kill and gut his political opponent, and dump his corpse and the corpses of his kids in his wife's lap? Why, that would be Democrat Jay Johnson, the new AG of Virginia... and not a single Democrat had a problem with any of that, did they Howard?
@Howard on left vs. right violence.
If the KKK and other mass killings count as right wing violence over simple violent crime, where are the uniformly left-wing transgender mass killers? The rise of black, Asian, and Hispanic mass killers? Hidden as general crime with no acknowledgement of the left-wing political subtext?
Bottom line - the left dutifully remove most of the leftwing violence off their charts. and then they message the data by including non-political violence and calling it "right wing"
It's a short clip. WATCH IT.
"Also: which party elected as attorney general a man who openly called to literally kill and gut his political opponent, and dump his corpse and the corpses of his kids in his wife's lap?"
That one is particularly telling. A politician wishes gruesome violence on his political opponent and his family. Democrat voters learn of this with plenty of time before the election to consider it. Having considered it, they go to the polls and elect him.
If the KKK was actually right wing then the SPLC would not have paid their leaders. They only paid leftist race haters.
The forever milked J6 aside, ALL “right wing violence” is from outliers. Left wing violence is encompassed by the Democrat narrative. When did the Democrats ever acknowledge ANY wrongdoing? Look at Howard’s bullshit and compare to Babylon Bee’s list. Their game is denial and/or projection. They have nothing else. The mainstream Republican eunuch culture is evidently unwilling or unable to counter them and the sane conservatives haven’t the firepower to do so effectively.
Last year there was considerable reporting on the web of race assignment of convicted criminals, showing blatant miss labeling, as White, of obvious non-whites. Its the same strategy, polluting the data.
The forever milked J6 aside, ALL “right wing violence” is from outliers.
Factually true of J6 too. They only violence happened outside, under the control of CHPD and DC cops, usually where the cops could just beat them unimpeded, causing two deaths on site. Inside was 100% peaceful except for Ashley's murder by a cop.
A difference between the so-called "right-wing violence" Howard cites and left-wing violence, that no one here is making really explicit yet: Republicans do not claim white supremacists, for instance, as their own; in fact, we reject them, root and branch. But when there's an instance of violence committed by someone who (just, you know, for example) says that he was motivated by Trump's being a rapist, pedophile, and whatever the other thing was, the response from Democrats is not, "We entirely deplore the obviously disordered thinking of this criminal and also all political violence."
Nope. It can't be, because they say the same things. The response is, "Well, he's right about Trump, but it's wrong to take justice into your own hands" - at best. For some Democrats (those recent polls say it's, what, between 10 and 47% of them?), it's more, "Too bad he failed!"
Also: funny how, manifestos notwithstanding, all the left-wingers are mentally ill AND THEREFORE not actually on the left, but all the right-wingers are mentally ill AND THEREFORE definitionally on the right.

Just look at the candidates Democrats are running. They elected Jay Johnson. Their AG candidate in Ohio is running on a platform of "Impose the death penalty on Trump but never, ever on an actual criminal!" Here in Utah, Democrats used the courts to force the most gerrymandered Democrat seat they could, drawn up by out of state far leftists. Their two leading candidates is one, a far left Somali Muslim who thinks that Mamdani is too conservative and 2, a guy who boasts about his attacks on the dominant church and how he likes to go around and take actual, literal dumps in church parking lots. Those are the frontrunners... the people Democrats want to have represent them. Oh, and the second guy also wants to let Hamas murder every Jew they can. Apparently that's the new "normal" position for Democrats.
Democrats are the party of racism:
Slavery — Democrats
KKK — Democrats
Jim Crow — Democrats
Internment Camps — Democrats
Affirmative Action — Democrats
DEI — Democrats

Good. I watched the video of that attack.
When you have to include prison assaults as right wing violence you're stretching things. And we all know they cook the books. They know we know and the don’t care.

Who is the leader of this nonexistant group that opposes fascism, and made for you and me? Could it be "23 skidoo not for Trump 2"?
I am in Southern California. I was with a group of nice white ladies today, and I was the only one not joking about what a shame it is none of these assassins are better shots.
Lots of comments letting off steam on both sides on the social media. But when Congresspeople and MSM people push hate, that is a bit more serious.
By the way: did anyone suggest or groom any of these shooters? Our good old boys in central PA used to say if someone in a bar encouraged you to do something violent, they were probably FBI. Nowadays it would be social media and organized leftists.
