We are less than 24 hours from yet another Left-wing assassin trying, and failing, to kill President Trump. This is the third attempt on his life since 2024. Cole Allen, in his manifesto, said he was "no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes." If you read the rest of his manifesto, it sounds fundamentally no different than what you would hear on MSNOW or CNN some nights.
As I noted earlier, Jamie Raskin needed reminding of all the heated rhetoric coming from his side of the aisle. From 2015 through today, Democrats have called President Trump Hitler, a Nazi, a racist, a pedophile, a rapist, a fascist, and an existential threat to democracy and our way of life. That sort of rhetoric is intentional, and it's meant ot inflame the Democratic Party's base into action. And it works. Not only have three Leftists tried to murder the president and — in the case of Allen — other members of his administration, but Leftists are gearing up to celebrate if — God forbid — one of their resistance bros ever is successful.
That includes Kirk Bangstad of Minocqua Brewing right here in Wisconsin. Bangstad is promising free beer to celebrate the assassination of Trump, and there's an alarming number of people on Facebook looking forward to those libations. Facebook, for what it's worth, doesn't think vowing to give people free beer if someone assassinates the duly-elected President violates its community standards.
It turns out that Bangstad's preferred gubernatorial candidate, Democrat Francesca Hong, is also okay with what happened to President Trump and a room full of journalists last night.
After a long thread where Hong made lipservice to condemning political violence, she dropped this gem;
I also want to point out: The state enacts political violence on its citizens every day. We see it when ICE agents occupy our cities and put children in cages. We see it in a healthcare system that lets people die because they can't afford care.

I will say she's right. The state has a monopoly on violence. But the problem is not that Hong wants to eliminate that violence, she wants to enact her own brand of it. I guess that's (D)ifferent, as I always say.
The Biden administration weaponized the FACE Act against pro-lifers and Christians, the IRS targeted conservative non-profits, and the Democrats are vowing retribution against Trump voters if they take over in November. Hong hasn't condemned that, you'll notice.
Instead, she wants to keep ICE out of the state, push for socialized medicine, and enact policies that would lead the state to crack down on energy production (good luck in Wisconsin's bitter winters), raise taxes, and censor free speech, gun ownership, and other Constitutional rights.
And as an aside, If the state has a monopoly on violence, then why do Democrats, including Hong, eagerly want to disarm law-abiding citizens while letting actual criminals who commit actual gun crimes skate? We all know why, of course.
What Hong is saying, in so many words, is that President Trump and the Republicans in that room had it coming. And if Allen had shot a journalist or two in the process, the Left would have considered them acceptable collateral damage in the pursuit of her agenda. The Left, after all, has never been shy about cannibalizing some of their own.
Of all the radical positions the Wisconsin Democrats running for governor have taken, this is the most damning and the most disqualifying. Hong, in her justification of violence directed towards Republicans, has proven she is unfit to lead Wisconsin and its voters — the majority of whom elected Trump less than two years ago.
