Forget January 6th – Democrats are the Party of Violence
Russia and China must like it when we fight. It’s hard to know how much instigation is accomplished by our top two adversaries, but I suspect it’s considerable. Putin and Xi must have really reveled in the events of January 6, 2021, and even more in its aftermath in which Democrats can’t seem to let it go.
But that’s rich, considering that the riot at the U.S. Capitol is pretty much all they have.
Over the decades, and all the way up to modern times, it’s mostly Democrats who march, demonstrate, riot, set fires, break store windows, assassinate, and murder. The Republicans’ one venture into violence has so upset the likes of Nancy Pelosi and CNN that it has turned into a holy day for Democrats that we call Januarysixthmas.

It’s hard to think of major incidents involving violence instigated by Republicans.
Let’s get January 6th out of the way. President Donald Trump thought the election had been stolen, and remember, much of what Trump contended was proven out. Hell yes, they spied on his 2026 campaign – according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is no right-wing loon. Trump was right about the “perfect phone call” to Ukraine, based on what we found out later from the Hunter Biden laptop and the famous video of Vice President Joe Biden bragging about how he got an investigation stopped.

And, of course, there were states using the pandemic to illegally change voting rules, the Dem’s use of mail-in ballots to ballot-harvest, the 51 intelligence community members who lied in a letter attributing the Hunter Biden laptop to Russian disinformation, the Mainstream Media’s suppression of the laptop story – it goes on and on.

So, yes, there was a reason for conservatives to be angry, but the events of J6 were a bridge too far. That’s what the Left does, and when the Right does it, it’s a man-bites-dog story. We conservatives should own it, and make sure it never happens again.
There is one other thing that conservatives protest about, and that’s the killing of human babies in the womb. It can get out of hand, but mostly it’s simply praying in front of abortuaries. When these protests are peaceful and prayerful, as they usually are, they are praiseworthy and an excellent example of First Amendment rights. If someone murders an abortion doctor, he or she ought to be arrested, and if convicted, face the full extent of the law.

Now, let’s get back to Democrats. An exhaustive list of Democratic Party and progressive violence would take a roomful of researchers to assemble. But we can look at a few incidents from long ago and recent history, as we ask the question: would Republicans do this?
Of course, there’s the Black Lives Matter riots of the summer of 2020.

Much has been written about them, and about CNN’s famous Chyron that ran while graphic scenes of violence played out in Kenosha, Wisconsin. A CNN reporter called Omar Jimenez was on the scene reporting live in the aftermath of a police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake. It was dark. Fires were raging in the background as Jimenez did his stand-up. CNN’s bottom-screen graphic has achieved legendary status:
FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS AFTER POLICE SHOOTING.
All told, the 2020 riots, protesting the death-by-police of a Minneapolis street thug, resulted in 14,000 arrests, 14 deaths, and $2 billion in damages. Compare that to January 6th.

Democrats call for violence all the time and one U.S. senator is lucky to be alive.
Video: Maxine Waters calls for violence against Republicans.
Sometimes, it seems like violence is in their DNA. California congresswoman Maxine Waters has suggested that her constituents get in the faces of Republicans. Sometimes they do. Senator Ted Cruz and his wife had to leave a restaurant in Washington due to left-wing thugs. Senator Rand Paul has faced similar attacks.
However, with Senator Paul, it sometimes gets ridiculous. In 2017, Paul was severely injured by his next-door neighbor who attacked him, unprovoked, over a “lawn care dispute.” Paul sustained multiple broken ribs and underwent lung and hernia surgeries related to the attack. Was it politically motivated? You have to wonder.
Senator Paul and his wife might have been killed in a second incident, this time following an event at the White House. Here is how Paul described the incident:
“Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House,” Paul said in a post on Twitter, while thanking the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia for “literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.”
Senator Cruz, on Twitter, posted:
“This madness has to stop.”
But it never does. On June 14, 2017, Republicans were having a practice session for the annual congressional baseball game. A left-wing activist called James T. Hodgkinson shot four people, almost killing then U.S. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise. And, of course there have been two assassination attempts against Donald Trump.
Four times in our history, a sitting U.S. president has been assassinated.
Presidents Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy were all struck down. Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were both wounded in unsuccessful attempts. Most of the assassins or would-be assassins were communist sympathizers, anarchists, or cultists. Lynette Alice “Squeaky” Fromme, who tried to kill President Gerald Ford in 1975, was a member of the Charles Manson Family.
To be fair, one presidential assassin, Charles Guiteau, who killed Garfield, was a Republican. His motive appeared to have been anger over his belief that he helped Garfield win the election and was not sufficiently rewarded with a consulship. The least-known presidential assassin, at least to people alive today, is probably Leon F. Czolgosz, who killed McKinley. He’s described as an “American laborer and anarchist.” The motives of John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald are far better known.
And, of course, there’s campus violence.
This never stops. Whether it’s the Berkeley riots back when Ronald Reagan was the governor of California, the anti-war riots during Vietnam, or today’s insidious pro-Palestinian protests on elite Ivy League campuses, it’s difficult to find conservative students raising hell.

The hell almost always comes from the Left. This says two things to me. First, even if I sympathized with leftist ideology (which I almost never do), I would not want to be associated with a party that often transmogrifies into a criminal gang and that too often sides with the bad guys. Like Hamas.

Second, as much as I deplore the fact that many conservatives entered the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, and broke windows and such, that event pales in comparison to the Democrats’ long and bloody history of violence. The Democrats need to get that fixed, and the lead person to do that ought to be Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who stood on the steps of the Supreme Court on March 4, 2020, and warned two justices that they were about to face the Democrats’’ wrath:
“I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
On June 8, 2022, a man called Nicholas Roske traveled to the home of Justice Kavanaugh intending to kill him.
