Democrats violent attacks on Republicans and their leaders say little to stop it
Carol Markowitz:
Last week, a man was indicted for threatening to kill Republican Rep. Diane Black. “They were serious enough threats that the grand jury did take action,” Black said in an interview with Fox News.From the fascists of Antifa to Democrats like Maxine Waters and Cory Booker have been urging Democrats to "get in the face" of Republicans and Trump supporters. People wearing hats or shirts showing support for the President have been assaulted. Police in San Jose have been sued for allowing liberal fascists to attack Trump supporters. It is as though Democrats have unleashed their own Brownshirts to attack political opponents.
It’s been barely a year since the shooting of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise during congressional baseball practice, and the story of the threats to Rep. Diane Black were barely a blip in our news.
The shooting last June should have been a wake-up call for our political discourse, but we’ve only been on a further slide since then.
This month, Black’s fellow GOP congressman, Jason Lewis, says his daughters were threatened. A man threatened to chop up Sen. Rand Paul’s family with an ax.
Another was arrested outside the campaign office of Rep. Lee Zeldin for threatening to kill Trump supporters. And the Nebraska GOP office had bricks thrown through its windows and graffiti painted on its wall.
Last week, a guy was beaten up in Oakland after a crowd thought he was a member of the Proud Boys, a right-wing pro-Trump men’s-rights group.

He added: “The First Amendment protects the right to peaceably assemble. There’s no such thing as a peaceable assembly of Nazis. Just by virtue of their ideology, they are causing harm.”
Absurd. Even actual 100-year-old Nazis are protected by the First Amendment. Where are the prominent liberals to tell their supporters that, no, they can’t actually punch anyone they disagree with?

Where is the Democratic leadership? What would their response be if the party ID were reversed? And why isn’t the media hounding them for answers?
