Remember Most of the Political Violence Committed In the Recent Past Are More Aligned with Right Wing MAGA Extremism

Well it did not take long for vile MAGA opportunists like Nancy Mace and Donald Trump to publicly exploit the assassination of Charlie Kirk as evidence a rising stream of left wing violence across the nation even though the assassin is still at large and there is no idea what his or her motives were.

Can we say trying to martyr the flawed Kirk like the Germans used the Reichstag Fire?

Can we say bullshit?

When Paul Pelosi, the husband of Nancy Pelosi was attacked by a lunatic with MAGA sympathies, who rushed to that attackers defense and made fun of the incident?

People like Donald Trump and yes, Charlie Kirk.

When the former Speaker of the Minnesota House was assassinated with her husband, where was the flags at half mast for her and the outpouring of sympathy from Mr. Trump and his MAGA apostates?

Virtually non existent.

Down closer to home here in Arizona, it is MAGA loving State House Republicans like John Gillette who are issuing hateful and inciting Anti-Moslem posts calling them “savages” and bringers of “Sharia Law.”

Arizona House Leader Oscar De Los Santos and House Democrats have issued a strong condemnation and ethics complaint against the repulsive Gillette.

We must never tolerate hate, and in response to Rep. Gillette’s repeated, dangerous, bigoted and disorderly conduct, we will be filing an official ethics complaint. https://t.co/oLS0HIaJgS

When asked if Democrats were to blame for what happened to Kirk, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren responded to a reporter by saying:

“Oh please. Why don’t you start with the President of the United States. And every ugly meme he’s posted and every ugly word.”

In the great majority of cases, you never hear political venom from Arizona or National Democrats like the disgusting tone and messaging from MAGA.

It is a fact that the great majority of political violence that has been occurred in this country has been caused by reactionary right wing zealots more aligned with MAGA and enabled by people like Trump and the late Mr. Kirk.

So when people like Mr. Trump and Ms. Mace say Democrats are to blame for the rise in political violence, just remember they are just looking in the mirror and talking about their hateful divisive selfs.

Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated but to say he is some innocent victim is something that the facts do not bear out. Remember just before he was shot, he was stoking conspiracy theories from MAGA land on the false narrative of the proliferation of transgender shooters.

He was spreading and stoking hate up until his last breath.
