Left wing violence against the right in the Trump era

Mistrust in the media is at an all time high and it is well deserved. There are very few outlets that can be looked at as fair and balanced. Most are firmly planted in the DNC and their coverage reflects that. Some of the many omissions involve left wing violence.  There are commenters on this site who assert that it’s all a one way street and Trump is entirely to blame. We are pounded every day with reports of alleged right wing misdeeds but those from the left are totally ignored. Well, we’re going to address that void.

A quick search for left wing violence yielded a list from Tom Elliott at Grabien

And that doesn’t come close to listing them all. That mouthy harridan Sandy Cortez whines that Ted Cruz almost got her killed

“you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out,”

but it was a Bernie Supporter who shot Steve Scalise.

There is an archive of left wing violence on the right here. The reports are so voluminous that they needed to be divided into individual years. A sampling:

January 2017

• At least 217 violent protesters were arrested in Washington D.C. on President Trump’s inauguration day.^[2][3]

• Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine appeared on MSNBC calling for members of his party to “fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box.”^[4]

• Four Chicago gangstas were charged with hate crimes for kidnapping and beating a mentally disabled white student and live streaming video on Facebook forcing the victim to repeat anti-Trump taunts.^[5]
• Madonna, a person with the economic resources to pose a viable threat, publicly stated, “I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.”^[6] The Secret Service decided to investigate her due to her threat.^[7] She claimed the comment was a metaphor.^[8]

• Pro-Trump demonstrator knocked out at protest.^[9]

• A Trump supporter was attacked after putting out a fire started by anti-Trump protesters.

• When Trump protesters encountered a driver with a pro-Trump flag on his car, they surrounded the vehicle, ripped off and began burning the flag, and pounded the car. They also punctured on the tires.

“fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box.”

It’s kind of difficult to see that as anything other than inciting violence. And it’s only January!

The links are but a small part of the Encyclopedia of Left Wing Violence During the Trump Era. Left wing violence has been non-stop over the last four years.

Like too see some videos? You can see six videos of democrats calling for violence here. And ten more examples here.

The next time someone tells Trump is to blame for violence take out your list and suggest they put it where it will be most effective. The left started it before Trump took office and hasn’t let up since.

As Sandy Cortez says about violence

‘Whatever gets the job done’

But she means left wing violence only.
