Let’s Talk About Violence

Biden used his address to once again condemn political violence. There’s no argument here.   But the only thing he alluded to was January 6th, and he then ham-handedly attempted to tie it to the deranged leftist who attacked Paul Pelosi. 

There were several people in the House chamber who could talk about political violence in a way that would make Biden very uncomfortable. Let’s begin with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

Rep. Scalise will live for the rest of his life with the brutal effects of being shot by a Bernie Sanders supporter who came to Washington, D.C., with a “hit list” of Republican congressmen. 

Sen. Rand Paul could tell us what it is like to have multiple ribs broken after he was attacked by a liberal neighbor. Paul and other conservatives (including me) attending the 2020 Republican National Convention were accosted on the streets of Washington, D.C., while police were nowhere to be seen. No one on the left condemned the violence. 

Justice Brett Kavanaugh could say something about political violence. An assassin flew across the country – just like a communist Chinese spy balloon – to try to kill him. Kavanaugh and other justices now have armed escorts protecting them from violent mobs because Biden’s Justice Department refuses to enforce the federal law that is meant to protect judges from intimidation and violence. 

Maybe Biden should talk to the pastors and leaders of pro-life organizations who have had their churches and organizations attacked by his radical pro-abortion supporters. So far, his Justice Department has only managed to bring charges against two people in spite of hundreds of attacks.

While we’re on the subject of violence, Biden once again promoted legislation that would force every state to allow abortion on demand throughout all nine months of pregnancy. Every abortion is an act of extreme violence meant to guarantee the death of an innocent baby.

By the way, I don’t know how many members of Congress were wearing Ukrainian flag pins instead of American flag pins last night. But several progressives were spotted wearing pins that proudly said “Abortion.” I guess we’re long past the days when they might have worn pins that simply said “Choice.”
