Police have thwarted another alleged assassination attempt. This time, the target was not President Donald Trump or a conservative justice but my former student Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget... https://t.co/1XAoYJ6syj

...There is no indication that Democratic leaders are tamping down their inflammatory rhetoric. To the contrary, they seem to have “jumped the shark” and are struggling to find ways to stand out to the mob with increasingly outrageous claims. This can be the cost of such rhetoric

What is most chilling is how Demarco parroted the talking points of Democratic leaders in justifying the assassination. He reportedly told agents that he found the November 2024 election to be the "lowest point in his life" and feared "impending war and a fascist takeover."

Many of us have condemned the now common rhetoric coming from top Democratic leaders who are calling conservatives or officials "fascists" and insisting that democracy is about to die in the United States. As figures like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and various congressional members called ICE "Gestapo" and a "secret police," attacks on federal law enforcement officers have soared.

Recently, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) called out the "fascism in our streets" and suggested that citizens could be justified in shooting masked agents, a chilling claim made earlier by other Democratic leaders.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D. Conn.) recently declared, "What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is tear gassing elementary schools. It is disappearing legal residents into cars. It is murdering American citizens."

Aspiring Democrats are getting the message. Total Wine billionaire David Trone (who is running to recapture his Maryland congressional district from fellow Democrat Rep. April McClain-Delaney) declared this week that the federal government is "literally executing people on the streets" in "not just Minneapolis… all over the United States."
