When Cole Allen tried, and failed, to assassinate President Trump and other high-ranking Cabinet members at the White House Correspondents' dinner, he did it because — according to his manifesto — he was "no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."
Gee. Pedophile, rapist, and traitor. Those are the words that Democrats have been using to describe President Trump for years. They've also taken to calling Republicans and Trump voters "pedophile protectors." Spend any time in my X mentions, and some Leftists will accuse me of "protecting pedophiles" because I support President Trump and Republicans.
But here's the thing, voters, especially moderate and independent voters, need to learn and quickly: Democrats accused Republicans of being what Democrats actually are.
We'll start and stay in Virginia, where Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger and her administration are protecting actual child rapists from justice.
Walvin Victor Hugo Garcia was charged last year with raping a child, aggravated sexual battery of a victim under 13, and distributing drugs to a minor. Despite that, authorities refused to honor an ICE detainer and put Garcia back on the streets, giving him the opportunity to victimize another innocent child or re-victimize the minor he was already accused of raping.
DHS isn’t holding back against Governor Abigail Spanberger and local lawmakers in Virginia after re-arresting an illegal immigrant accused of raping a child who was released back on the streets.

Garcia certainly isn't the only child abuser Democrats have protected. Illegal alien Israel Flores-Ortiz was accused of sexually assaulting multiple girls, some as young as 13, at a Fairfax County high school. Flores-Ortiz would reportedly come up behind the girls and run his hands between their legs. Despite this, the school was willing to welcome Flores-Ortiz, who is 19, back into the classroom. Last month, he was sentenced to just 180 days for his crimes.
Fairfax is also where Richard Cox, a registered sex offender, was allowed to access women's and girls' locker rooms because he merely identified as "transgender." Cox was repeatedly caught exposing himself, had schedules of children's swim classes on his phone, and garnered sympathy from local officials. In February, Cox was found guilty of possessing child pornography.
Virginia is also where former Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax, who was a proponent of red flag laws and gun control, shot his wife before turning the gun on himself in a murder-suicide. Fairfax touted his support of gun control legislation, including the very red flag laws that should have applied to him. Despite the failure of these laws to stop this crime, which left the Fairfaxes teenage children parentless, the Left insists we need more gun control laws, more gun bans, and that it's the Right who are violent and likely to shoot someone if they get upset.
But as Cole Allen proved, truth is the opposite of what Democrats say it is. A Leftist with a "trans"/furry boyfriend assassinated Charlie Kirk. "Transgender" individuals killed children at a Christian school in Tennessee and a Catholic school in Minnesota. Luigi Mangione shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a New York street, and Democrats accused Thompson of engaging in "social murder" because his company — heavily subsidized by the Democrats' Obamacare legislation, mind you — sometimes denies claims. Mangione inspired at least one other monster, Jonathan Rinderknecht, the arsonist behind the deadly and destructive Palisades fire.
Democrats blamed "climate change" for the blaze, because — once again — that's what would help advance their agenda. They'd never admit a Leftist loon torched an entire city out of admiration for a guy who murdered a CEO. That doesn't sit well with voters.
I'd be remiss if I didn't address, at least briefly once again, the elephant in the room here, too. Democrats have accused Republicans of being fascists, Nazis, the Gestapo, etc. for years. President Trump, according to Leftists, is literally Hitler without the mustache. They also said people have an obligation to "punch a Nazi," which means "exact political violence against people you disagree with, because they're all Nazis."
Then Democrats turn around and nominate Graham Platner, who had a literal Nazi tattoo on his chest for almost two decades, supports Hamas, and thinks female rape victims need to take some responsibility for being, well, rape victims. The complete heel-turn Democrats have done in defending Platner is as eye-opening as it is cynical.
"He was going through a tough time," is one excuse, and probably my favorite. When my dad died in 2020 amid the COVID pandemic, we couldn't have a funeral. I turned my grief into a large tattoo because those were "essential businesses," but giving a proper send-off to a Vietnam veteran was not, apparently. But that tattoo consists of flowers and birds, not a symbol associated with Nazi atrocities.
Others say that Platner's behavior shows he really isn't a Nazi, but somehow President Trump's ... does?
Okay.
Batya Ungar-Sargon recently debunked claims that political violence comes from the Right. That data is, she wrote, "compiled by nakely partisan organizations" with an agenda and an axe to grind.

In psychology, they call this "projection," and a therapist might refer to it as "gaslighting." However you label it, the reality is this: with Democrats, every accusation is a confession.
