If you missed the Wednesday Morning Update, there’s a nice clip from Dan Bongino in there about how this is not a both-sides issue. Yes, the Left loves to say the right is more violent, but as I’ve pointed out more than a few times, the violence from white supremacy groups, neo-Nazis, and the like isn’t right-wing. It does not exist to advance human flourishing, equality, or liberty for all. It targets groups for discrimination, with intimidation and fear. By design, it sees some people as less valuable or even subhuman.
Those are left-wing ideas.
Progressivism uses tribalism and othering to organize. From class war to culture war division, othering, and race war are all left-wing tactics. No one who seeks to conserve the values of our Constitutional Republic does anything like that. And when you look at the actual violence that is occurring and where it is directed, there’s no contest. The left has no competition on this level.
From Just the News.
2017 Congressional Baseball Game Shooting
In June of 2017, left-wing activist James Hodgkinson opened fire during practice for the congressional baseball game after asking lawmakers who had left the stadium if the people practicing were Republicans. Now-House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was seriously wounded in the incident.
Though the FBI initially labeled the incident “suicide by cop,” FBI Director Kash Patel in 2025 released information confirming that the gunmen had targeted Republicans.
2022 Assassination Attempt on Brett Kavanaugh
After the leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson draft decision that ultimately overturned the constitutional right to an abortion, conservative Supreme Court justices faced protests at their private homes.
In 2025, Nicholas John Roske received an 8-year prison sentence for his attempted assassination of Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, to which he pleaded guilty. Roske was arrested outside Kavanaugh’s residence.
2024 Luigi Mangione’s alleged assassination of Brian Thompson
In December 2024, Luigi Mangione allegedly assassinated United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione is awaiting trial and has not been convicted as of press time. His motivation for the attack was allegedly frustration with the national private healthcare industry.
2024 Butler rally
During the 2024 presidential campaign, President Donald Trump was shot during a rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13. He sustained a gunshot wound to the ear and was escorted off the stage.
The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed in the incident.
2024 Florida golf course
In September 2024, Secret Service exchanged fire at a Palm Beach golf course with Ryan Routh, who had lain in wait for Trump, who was golfing with now-special envoy Steve Witkoff at the time.
Routh received a life sentence in February 2026.
2025 Antifa shootings at ICE facility
In 2025, an Antifa cell organized an attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas, the incident saw a local police officer sustain a gunshot wound to the neck, though he survived.
A federal jury convicted nine members of the cell in March of this year.
2025 Assassination of Charlie Kirk
Possibly the most high-profile, successful political assassination of the decade was that of Charlie Kirk, who was killed in September 2025 at an open-air event at Utah Valley University. The alleged gunman, Tyler Robinson, is in custody but has not been convicted.
2025 Attempted Assassination of Trump
Saturday marked the third major attempt on Trump, with alleged gunman Cole Allen storming the White House Correspondents Association dinner and firing a gunshot before being subdued.
No one tried to assassinate Clinton, Obama, or Biden, but every Republican since Reagan has had to deal with assassination attempts.
No one took shots at the Democratic Congressional Leaders. All the school shooters are clearly left-wing nutjobs, many of them groomed by the lefty culture corps. Even the guy who shot the Minnesota legislator insists Tim Wals told him to do it.
Anti-ICE protesters took shots at federal agents, attacked them, doxxed them, and drove into them with their car.
As Bongino points out in the clip, there is nothing even remotely comparable on the right, while the left keeps making excuses and emboldening this sort of behavior.
MAGA wasn’t keying Teslas or lighting them on fire. We didn’t follow, harass, or harass regular people we thought might be ICE agents. We don’t call black people who vote the wrong way Uncle Tom or other racist epithets.
It is an issue that could get voters out in November to push back. I just hope Team Trump has the RNC tuned up to take as much advantage of every left-wing mistake since the Donald got back into the Oval Office.
There is ample material. Dems can’t shut up about how much they hate the rest of us, and anyone who lives like that is ready to hate you too, if they don’t already.
