The Left has a problem with political violence. They genuinely believe violence is justified in the pursuit of their political agenda. Jay Jones, the Democratic AG-elect in Virginia, said as much, as did Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.
The violent rhetoric is not accidental. They hope to push people to acts of violence; that's the only reasonable outcome to be expected when you repeatedly say President Trump and Republicans are "Nazis" and "the Gestapo" and a "threat to democracy."
Now, a Michigan man is in custody after he made violent threats against the GOP in his state.
BREAKING: Ryan Vallance ARRESTED for threatening to shoot up and burn down the Oakland County, MI GOP HQ and kiII GOP leadership.

Vallance didn't just want to harm members of the Michigan GOP. According to Fox2 Detroit, he wanted to "eradicate" them, their donors, and threatened to kill the Michigan GOP youth chair.
Police say Ryan Lewis Vallance messaged the GOP threatening to use "Molotov cocktails for MAGA" and wishing to "eradicate" them and their donors.
Vallance, 34, then allegedly made phone calls through Facebook to the Oakland County Republican headquarters and light it on fire and threatened to kill GOP Youth Chair Krish Mathrani, 19.
Specifically, Vallance threatened to "put a bullet" in Mathrani's skull, police said. The male on the line also allegedly threatened to kill everyone that worked at the office.
On Saturday the Bloomfield Township Police Department was alerted of the messages.
Why did Vallance make those threats? Because he's angry at President Trump and the GOP. There were many times when this writer was angry with Democrats, and even some members of the GOP. Yet she never threatened to harm them.
The MI GOP youth chair, Krish Mathrani, is only 19, and Vallance threatened to "put a bullet" in his skull and kill everyone who worked at the MI GOP office. Vallance also threatened GOP donors. That cannot be overlooked. Why? As Townhall reported last week, the New Jersey AG is seeking access to the donor lists of First Choice Women's Resource Centers, a pro-life medical nonprofit. If you're wondering why, AG Matthew J. Platkin says he's concerned that those centers are deceiving donors. They're not, of course.
So let's connect the dots. Making the donor info public is so that guys like AG Platkin and Ryan Vallance can find donors and target and intimidate them into not donating to pro-life pregnancy centers, effectively ending these vital services (and pushing women to get abortions).
Thankfully, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case next week, and precedent is on First Choice's side.
And the MI GOP is not backing down. Mathrani issued a defiant statement, saying, "Threats and intimidation will never force me or any member of our team to back down from fighting for what we believe in. These kinds of attacks only strengthen our resolve and remind us why our work is so important. I am proud to stand with activists of all ages who are committed to making Michigan a better place, and I will never be deterred by those who want to silence our voices. We remain united, determined, and focused on serving our communities."
Brian Szmytke, the Oakland County GOP Senior Advisor, also issued a statement and said, "Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we have seen a massive increase in threatening communications targeting our party, candidates, and supporters. We are deeply grateful for the strong partnership and ongoing collaboration with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, which ensures that those who seek to intimidate or threaten our members will be held accountable."
