In a shocking admission of guilt, Nicholas Roske, a 29-year-old California man and ardent abortion supporter, has agreed to plead guilty to charges of attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. This disturbing case, first reported by The Western Journal, highlights the dangerous extremism festering within the far-left movement—a movement that has repeatedly incited violence against conservative figures while the liberal media turns a blind eye.
According to court documents obtained by The Washington Post, Roske’s public defenders, Andrew Szekely and Ellie Marranzini, submitted a letter stating, “We write to inform the Court that Mr. Roske wishes to plead guilty to the one-count Indictment pending against him.” This plea comes just days before a scheduled hearing on Roske’s previous attempts to have the charges dismissed—a desperate legal maneuver that ultimately failed.
A Chilling Plot Fueled by Left-Wing Rage
Roske’s plan was nothing short of domestic terrorism. In June 2022, he flew from California to Maryland armed with burglary tools and a handgun, intending to break into Justice Kavanaugh’s home, murder him, and then take his own life. “Break in. Shoot him and then shoot myself,” Roske confessed to police. His motive? A deranged belief that killing Kavanaugh would stop the Supreme Court from overturning Roe v. Wade—a decision that ultimately restored power to the states, as championed by President Donald Trump’s judicial appointments.
“I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him,” Roske admitted. This warped justification mirrors the rhetoric of left-wing activists and Democratic politicians who have demonized conservative justices, painting them as enemies rather than impartial jurists. Where was the outrage from CNN, MSNBC, or The New York Times when this plot unfolded? Instead, they downplayed the threat, focusing instead on smearing pro-life advocates as extremists.
Liberal Media’s Hypocrisy on Full Display
While the left-wing media obsesses over so-called “right-wing extremism,” they ignore the very real violence perpetrated by their own ideological allies. Roske’s case is just one example of the left’s escalating radicalism—from Antifa riots to attacks on pregnancy centers. Yet, the same outlets that amplify every conservative misstep have remained eerily silent on this assassination attempt.
President Donald Trump, who appointed Justice Kavanaugh, has long warned about the dangers of left-wing extremism. His strong stance on law and order, support for law enforcement, and commitment to judicial integrity stand in stark contrast to the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies and their refusal to condemn violent rhetoric from their base.

Roske’s lawyers attempted to paint him as mentally unstable, writing, “At the time, Mr. Roske was acutely suicidal, visibly exhausted, and had repeatedly expressed his need for psychiatric care.” But mental illness doesn’t excuse terrorism—especially when it aligns with the left’s broader campaign of intimidation against conservatives.

Justice Must Be Served
The charge against Roske carries a maximum penalty of life in prison—a sentence that should send a clear message to would-be assassins. Meanwhile, President Trump continues to fight for the safety of all Americans, standing firm against the left’s violent tendencies while the liberal media continues its biased coverage.
