WEBVTT - Ed Morrissey: America Has A Left Wing Violence Problem

0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:03.120
<v Speaker 1>This is Ed Morrissey of hot air dot Com for

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>town Hall. America has once again descended into an era

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>of political violence, and once again the political violence originates

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>from the American left. This weekend, the third assassin in

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>less than two years attempted to kill Donald Trump. This

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>would be assassin left behind a manifesto explaining his rationale.

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>It echoes the left's resistance rhetoric used for the last

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>eleven years. His argument could easily have been a monologue

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>on late night television or on cable channels like MS now.

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>The mainstream left and the media have demagogue Trump to

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the point where violent reaction is now the norm. This

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>began from the riot in DC on Trump's first inauguration day,

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>through the twenty twenty George Floyd riots, to the riots

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles and Minneapolis over immigration enforcement, to these

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>assassination attempts. Despite efforts by the Southern Poverty Law Center

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and Joe Biden's DOJ to falsely depict conservatives as dangerous,

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the violent comes from one direction. The left and all

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>who demagogue over a duly elected president's legitimacy share responsibility

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>for it.
