The Left's Violence Is Rooted in (D)isinformation

Not too terribly long ago, the Biden administration tried to push its own Ministry of Truth — sorry, the Disinformation Governance Board — under the Department of Homeland Security. This board, the Biden administration argued, was vital to combating mis/disinformation. That's Leftist code speak for "things we don't like," of course. Leading the project was a wild-eyed theater kid named Nina Jankowicz, who we last heard from when a court tossed her defamation suit against Fox News last September.

The Disinformation Governance Board fell apart spectacularly over free speech concerns, but that didn't stop the Biden administration from trying to implement the same policies under another name. During a 2022 press conference, it was revealed that then-Vice President Kamala Harris was pushing an Online Policy Task Force that sounded very much like the same anti-free speech nonsense Jankowicz tried to shove down our throats.

But it turns out every accusation is an admission. In this case, the Left — Democrats and media alike — accused conservatives of pedaling mis/disinformation online about a variety of topics, including COVID, vaccines, President Biden's cognitive health, and transgender issues, among other things. What they were really doing is hiding their own push for misinformation, and that push it seems has violent, deadly consequences.

According to a survey by the Skeptic Research Center Team, some 43 percent of Americans believe the Republican Party — not President Trump, but the entire party — is "so dangerous" that violence is necessary to "get the country back on track."

That same percentage also happen to believe that "Donald Trump wants children to learn that slavery was a good thing."

Gee, where did that come from? Such rumors circulated online, on media reports, and out of the mouths of Democrats, of course. That's misinformation, and they know — and knew — exactly what they were doing.

The Skeptic Research Center also found some other interesting things, including that Americans with high trust in journalists and social scientists support politically-motivated violence at higher rates and that "very liberal" Americans support political violence at higher rates, too.

This is not coincidental.

Cole Allen, the California Leftist who tried to assassinate President Trump last Saturday, wrote in his manifesto that he was "no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

All of that is lies, taken straight from the media and Democrats like Ted Lieu, who told the media not too long ago that, "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children. Of Donald Trump threatening to kill children." 

On top of that, we've also learned that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was paying hate groups to continue being hate groups. In Wisconsin, it's possible the SPLC was behind the neo-Nazis who infiltrated a Moms for Liberty/Gays Against Groomers protest of "transgender story hour" in a rural park.

And when a Democrat finally acts violently, as Cole Allen did, the Democrats and their media allies play stupid. Jamie Raskin had no idea what "heated rhetoric" Democrats have said about the President that could spark such violence. Former President Obama said, hours after Allen's manifesto was in the news, that we didn't understand his motives. We do, and we did. As Scott Jennings noted, such phony ignorance is actually creating a permission structure that allows the same thing to happen again, and again, and again. And as they do this, they push to strip law-abiding citizens of their gun rights and to regulate social media.

Steve Scalise was almost killed several years ago. President Trump has now been targeted for assassination three times. And last September, millions of us watched Charlie Kirk get assassinated in Utah — and the Left not only celebrated his death, but they also said he had it coming because he was a misogynist, a racist, and a homophobe. None of that was true, either. It was all misinformation pushed by the Left to justify political violence against their opponents.

The violence ends when Democrats stop spreading misinformation about Republicans, of course. But it doesn't seem that will happen any time soon.
