A crazy man tried to set the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion on fire. Cody Balmer, 38, snuck onto the premises, smashed the residence’s windows, and threw Molotov cocktails inside. Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were asleep inside. It’s an act of domestic terrorism, which has been condemned, but Democrats are missing a key part here. Some are also freaking out why no Republicans are condemning this attack—they are, but you’re not going to play this game, fellas.
Balmer had a lot of hate toward Shapiro, even admitting he’d beat him to death with the hammer he’d used to break windows if the governor had come upon him during the act. Balmer didn’t like any government authority, had a rap sheet, and like the Pelosi hammer time incident, also appears to be, at heart, an equal opportunity hater. He has no real political aim—he’s a nutcase. Still, when Democrats refuse to condemn the violence against Tesla dealerships, which are being Molotov-cocktailed, which is the seat of irony, this is what happens.
We’re a nation with 340 million people, some are screwy, and now we have domestic terrorism being quasi-endorsed by a major political party. There was always a “but” when liberal pundits condemned the Tesla attacks. We’re not going to be memory-holed here. Domestic terrorism didn’t start last weekend when the PA governor’s residence got torched.
Are Democrats reaping what they sowed for not enforcing the law, enhancing public safety, and giving the silent green light for loons to attack the businesses of their political rivals? Maybe. So, yes, it’s unacceptable that Shapiro and his family were targeted, but let’s not think that this was some out-of-the-blue event.
Deranged leftists are now attacking Democrat politicians as well. This is why you can never condone terrorism and assassinations. Unfortunately, Luigi and the Tesla terrorists have been supported by mainstream liberals and the problem is getting worse

Jill and I are disgusted by the attack on the Shapiro family and their home during the first night of Passover. We are relieved that they are safe and grateful to the first responders. There is no place for this type of evil in America, and as I told the Governor yesterday, we…

I’m grateful the Shapiro family is safe. It’s despicable for this to happen as the Jewish community is celebrating Passover. Political violence has no place in our country. https://t.co/tO58H8f4zt

We’re heartbroken to learn about the arson at the Governor’s Residence. No family should ever have to wake up to that kind of fear, especially just hours after celebrating the first night of Passover. We’re deeply grateful that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. https://t.co/Zbqp0IKpFr

Horrified over the arson attack on the PA Governor’s Residence—especially during Passover.

Grateful that @GovernorShapiro and his family are safe. Political violence has no place in our country.
Easy. This is WRONG. It is domestic terrorism. I condemn it unequivocally.

I don’t care if the culprit was right wing (I hope not) or a left-wing antisemite.
Whoever did it should be arrested & go to jail for a LONG time.
Why can’t leftists say the same about Tesla terrorists? https://t.co/B8NioQZt0w
I’m still waiting for Democrats en masse to condemn the attacks on Tesla dealerships. I doubt they’ll offer one because, at their core, these are evil, disgusting people.
