Democrats long have linked threats, specifically the threat of violence, to their opinions about their political foes.
Joe Biden once boasted if younger he would have taken Donald Trump out and beaten him up.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer stood in front of the Supreme Court and threatened justices would suffer the consequences if they ruled against his opinion.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The New York Post condemned the party for accepting their supporters’ “escalating calls for violence.”
That would be to include those protesting on behalf of murder suspect Luigi Mangione, accused of the shooting death of health care executive Brian Thompson.
One leftist messaging in Denver’s protest read, “Hands off or heads off.”
The Washington Examiner documented how a new study found that 55% of all self-identifying “liberals” confirm they believe killing President Donald Trump is “a justifiable means of pursuing their political goals.”
The report revealed, “This is the fruit of hysteria that Democratic politicians and their allies in the news media have nurtured in their followers for the past eight years. This is a political faction that considers ‘misgendering’ to be ‘literal violence,’ but it is one also building an assassination culture.”
To that end, comments by George Soros-linked Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner that Trump and his supporters should be “punched in the face as hard as possible” is just one of many.
But a report in the Daily Wire confirms it’s likely to rebound politically.
“The Republican Party of Pennsylvania told The Daily Wire on Monday that it asked the Justice Department to investigate Krasner over his March suggestion that Trump and his supporters were ‘fascists’ who needed to be ‘punched,'” the report said.
Krasner is running for his third term in office, but Pennsylvania GOP spokesman Greg Rothman told the DOJ, “Violence and threats are never acceptable, but they are particularly egregious when used as a political tool targeting the President of the United States of America and his supporters.”
The letter, obtained by the Daily Wire, said, “The safety of President Trump, Republicans, and the integrity of our American republic rely on threats like District Attorney Krasner’s being investigated and, if appropriate, punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
The letter suggested the investigation could focus on whether Krasner made a “potential criminal threat” against Trump.
Krasner, making the challenged comments, had fallen back on a common Democrat talking point: Trump and Republicans are Nazis.
He said, “Trump likes crime. Fascists like crime. Right-wing Republican MAGA people like crime and they like it because it gins up a crisis that doesn’t have to be, which allows them to scapegoat different groups of marginalized people so they can eliminate our rights. This is a very old playbook.
“I know exactly where we need to be with this one: loud, proud, standing up and in their faces. These are fundamentally fascists, and it will not do us any good to try to appease them. They are bullies who need to be punched in the face as hard as possible, and that is the only way that all the people around us who are so frightened will understand they can stand up, too.”
Tellingly, amid Democrat calls for violence, there have been two assassination attempts against Trump and at least one against a member of the U.S. Supreme Court.
