How the Left made violence mainstream

“It turns out the Left commits relatively little political violence when you don’t count the political violence the Left commits.”

That message, delivered by conservative commentator Michael Knowles at a Senate Judiciary hearing this week, perfectly captures the threat of growing left-wing violence. While the violence is a threat, so is the Democrats’ refusal to acknowledge and condemn it. Through their silence, Democrats have created a culture in which some believe that violence and intimidation are justified or, worse, necessary.
