This was Kamalla Harris back in 2020 during the George Floyd riots:
“They’re not gonna stop [...] this is a movement I'm telling you, they’re not gonna stop. And everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop, they’re not gonna stop before election day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after election day [...] and everyone should take note of that on both levels, that they’re not gonna let up, and they should not, and we should not."
Now of course, you can say she wasn't referring to rioting, but when you are aware of the volatility of the left, and yes she would absolutely have been aware when you consider the decades of leftist violence in our streets, then you have to question why a leader would have made such comments.
And then there's Maxine Waters in 2018 during the first Trump presidency:
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” Waters told a crowd in California over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Don't forget Nancy Pelosi also in 2018:
“I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be when people realize that this is a policy that they defend,” she said. “It’s a horrible thing, and I don’t see any prospect for legislation here.”
Contrast that with Erica Kirk:
Charlie Kirk's widow said she forgave the man accused of killing him, and that the conservative activist wanted to "save young men just like the one who took his life."
“I forgive him because it was what Christ did and it is what Charlie would do,” Erika Kirk, 36, said to a standing ovation at Glendale, Arizona. “The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the Gospel is love.”
And also keep in mind, there have been candlelight vigils for a conservative leader. There has not been rioting, or calls for it.
Try to imagine what would have been happening across this country if a strong leader of left-wing politics, who inspired millions of young Americans had been assassinated by a right-winger. There likely would have also been candlelight vigils, but I don't believe for a moment, that there would not also be plenty of violence.
