The Left maintains that political violence is a Right wing tactic that is not used by the peaceful and tolerant Left.
What about the year of rioting by BLM/Antifa/Anarchists that caused dozens of deaths, and billions in damage? The riots, arson, burglaries, looting, assaults, rapes, firebombing federal buildings was all by Leftists that were election deniers pissed off about Trump winning the election over Clinton. Where is the outrage over those riots?
Oh that’s right, CNN and MSNBC told us that they were “mostly peaceful” riots, as cities burned and police were assassinated for being police.
Here is a little list of violence from the Left against Conservatives.
- Violent attacks by left-wing activists on Trump supporters leaving a rally in California in June 2016
- Riots in November 2016 in several Democrat-run cities after Trump was announced as the winner of the election
- Riots in Washington, DC, during the inauguration of President Donald Trump in January 2017
- Violent rhetoric at the Women’s March, and threats against Trump supporters throughout the Trump presidency
- The shooting and wounding in 2017 of Republican members of Congress on a baseball field by a crazed left-wing gunman
- The summer of rioting by Black Lives Matter supporters — tolerated or encouraged by Democrats — in the summer of 2020
- Threats of rioting prior to the 2020 presidential election, forcing businesses in Democrat-run cities to board up their windows
- The attempted stabbing of New York Republican gubernatorial nominee Rep. Lee Zeldin at a campaign rally
- The alleged murder of a teenager in September after a North Dakota man said he suspected the boy was a Republican
- The vicious beating of a volunteer for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) by men who said Republicans were not allowed in the area
- The alleged biting of a supporter of Republican gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon by a fan of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D)
- Death threats last week against Republican gubernatorial nominee State Sen. Darren Bailey in Illinois
- A physical attack on New Hampshire Republican nominee for Senate Don Bolduc (allegedly by a local libertarian)
- The attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh following the leaked draft of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade
- The fire-bombing and targeting of pregnancy centers and Catholic churches by pro-abortion activists in the wake of the Dobbs decision
And still, they maintain that they are non-violent, 100%, having never lifted a finger in anger in history.
