It’s become clear that the Democrats, and their allies in the mainstream media, are trying to distract us from the real drivers of political violence by blaming conservatives.
As the PBS NewsHour continues to ignore the real drivers of Antifa violence in Portland and instead blames conservatives for extremism, it’s time for us to recognize that the real drivers of political violence are the increasingly radical left-wing policies being pushed by Democrats and their woke, intolerant ideologies.
The bias of the liberal media was on full display on Monday when White House Correspondent Laura Barron-Lopez and her two guests on the PBS NewsHour blamed conservative policy and philosophy for the violence in Portland
. Barbara F. Walter, a professor at U.C. San Diego and expert in violent extremism, even argued that Trump’s rally in Waco was a “perfect example of government overreach, everything that’s wrong with the federal government…” Adrienne LaFrance, the executive editor of The Atlantic, even tried to make a victim out of the Antifa thugs in Portland by suggesting that right-wing extremists had “drawn” them into violence.
But the truth is that ANTIFA came for violence. The organization started out waging street wars on conservatives and it’s only gotten worse from there. The Democrats and their woke allies are willing to use the justice system to further their own political agenda, and to silence and punish their opponents.
I detest violence and would rather push people to exercise their right to vote and become vocal members of their communities instead. This can be done without forcing people to accept woke ideologies. We can have civil discourse and debate without resorting to violence.
The left-wing extremists are responsible for the wave of political violence that is sweeping the nation and it’s time to call them out for what they are: intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them and willing to resort to violence to get their way.
