The Real Threat

A radical leftist group called Shutdown DC is threatening next week’s Congressional Baseball Game. This game is a long-standing Washington tradition intended to foster greater congeniality. True to form, the left is trying to ruin it. This is particularly disgusting when you recall some recent history.

In 2017, a deranged socialist came to Washington. For days, he stalked Republican congressmen on a “hit list” he carried around in his pocket. On June 14th, he showed up at the Alexandria, Virginia, baseball field where the Republican team was practicing, and he opened fire. 

He seriously wounded Representative Steve Scalise and could have killed a dozen or more Republican congressmen. Thankfully, as a member of the House leadership, Scalise had additional security who took the shooter down. 

Of course, the Deep State and their liberal media accomplices quickly buried the shooter’s left-wing political motivations.

But here we are five years later, and the left is once again threatening violence at a congressional baseball game.

The political left in America has stormtroopers like Antifa and other extremist groups. Yes, I’m comparing them to Nazis. They’ve been doing this kind of thuggery for decades, and it’s getting worse and more dangerous. 

During the Trump years, key cabinet officials and White House personnel were frequently attacked in public. 

The left’s unhinged rhetoric about conservative justices on the Supreme Court recently inspired a man to travel from California to Washington to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Now they’re attacking churches and firebombing crisis pregnancy centers.

This is the real danger to our constitutional Republic. Not conservatives. Not pro-lifers. Not Donald Trump. It’s left-wing stormtroopers willing to use violence. 

But those in power today -- the president, the attorney general, and liberal leaders in Congress -- won’t do anything to stop them.
