Fire-bombings at Pro-Life Pregnancy Centers
Three
pro-life pregnancy centers were firebombed in the course of one month following a leak of the Supreme Courtâs decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Womenâs Heath Center. Many of these attacks were carried out by the radical pro-abortion group Janeâs Revenge, which has
openly endorsed violence against pro-life individuals and organizations. Multiple
pro-life centers, in Colorado, Virginia, Oregon, and other states,
were vandalized or firebombed in the week after the Dobbs decision came out.
Lee Zeldin Attacked
Republican New York gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was attacked on stage during a July campaign rally. The suspect
shouted âyouâre done,â then rushed stage with a knife. While some on the left, such as
President Biden and New York governor
Kathy Hochul, condemned the attack, the media was
relatively silent on what was effectively an assassination compared to their breathless coverage of the Pelosi attack.
2020 Summer of Riots
During the riots following
George Floydâs death in Minneapolis police custody, leftist media ran cover for activists who torched American cities. Infamously, CNN
described August riots in Wisconsin as âfiery but mostly peaceful protestsâ while live reporting in front of towering flames. An MSNBC reporter in May also
reported live from a riot in Minneapolis, saying, âI want to be clear on how I characterize this. This is mostly a protest. It is not generally speaking unruly.â As he said this, a building burned in the background of the footage. These riots caused an
estimated $1 billion in damages and
24 deaths.

Violent Would-Be Attack on Brett Kavanaugh
A man armed with a handgun, a knife, pepper spray, and other potentially lethal items, was
arrested outside Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaughâs home in June, following the leak of the Dobbs opinion. Twenty-six-year-old Nicholas Roske said he meant to kill Kavanaugh, saying he was
motivated by the leaked opinion that turned abortion back to the states. The night after the attack, pro-abortion protestors still
showed up to demonstrate outside the justiceâs home.
But The New York Timesâ coverage of the incident was buried below the fold of their paper, as Guy Benson
pointed out on Twitter.
Even a CNN analyst noticed the leftâs double standard about political violence. David Gregory
called out the left on live TV, saying, âthe truth is that a lot of people on the left who are in political power are being so hypocritical about this.â

âThey lecture us all the time about the excesses of the right, including Donald Trump on Jan. 6, fomenting mob violence. And yet theyâre out there countenancing as they have with statements before that itâs okay to stand outside these peopleâs homes,â Gregory said.
Congressional Baseball Game Shooting
In 2017, a volunteer for the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign
opened fire on a Republican practice session in preparation for the Congressional Baseball Game. The gunfire wounded Republican Whip
Steve Scalise. It is clear the shooter was targeting Republicans, as he asked a passerby which political party was practicing on the field before opening fire. The shooter was
also an avid fan of MSNBCâs Rachel Maddow.

Examples of political violence on both the left and the right abound. Blaming one side for political violence is a foolâs errand. Just a few of these examples show that political violence arises from the left as well as the right, despite what the media would have you think.
