Politifact Factchecks Vance: Is Left-Wing Political Violence Worse? Verdict Revealed

[Conservative from Georgia]

In summary, for 2025 it's left that's worse, and the right wing was responsible for more attacks in the 30 years before that:

• Vice President JD Vance did not point to a source, but a White House spokesperson separately cited an article about a Center for Strategic and International Studies study of 750 terrorist attacks and plots in the U.S. from 1994 to July 4, 2025.
• The study found that in the first six months of 2025, left-wing terrorist attacks outnumbered those by the right. But the study showed that for more than 30 years before 2025, right-wing attacks had outpaced left-wing attacks.
• Such tallies are imperfect, because there’s no single definition of "political violence."

LOL, so even lefty-fact had to admit that lefty violence exists, and the best they could do was a "mostly false"?

Vance's claim wasn't merely that "lefty violence exists". He said that political violence is "bigger problem on the left".

Vance's claim wasn't merely that "lefty violence exists". He said that political violence is "bigger problem on the left".

And he is 100% correct.

To make it seem "the right" has a problem you have to include Aryan Prison gangs in the mix, and that is bullshit.

Why not include the Bloods and Crips as left wing political violence while you are at it?

It's a fake study and it's fake news. That study did not even count it as political violence when a guy was executed on the street, shot in the head, just for being a "Trump supporter" according to the perp's confession.

The fact that you posted this is proof that you are easily brainwashed by fake news articles.

It’s sad you still rely on politifact. Who has been proven to be bullshit artists of the left.

Good to get a feel for the bullshit level the mainstream left is willing to go with.

I used to go to Daily Kos for my opposition research, but they have gone down the rabbit hole. CNN gives a good feel for what the left is pushing as the "truth" of the day.

Says a rightwing nickname in a message board.

What is right wing? Missouri or Mike? So called Conservative.
