A report claims left-wing terrorism is rising. The data paints a complicated picture
The assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk has turbocharged the conversation — and fears — around political violence in the U.S. And, more than perhaps any other recent high-profile incident, it has fed claims that far-left extremists are primarily responsible for the worsening environment.
"From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania, last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a health care executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others, radical-left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives," President Trump said, just hours after Kirk was killed.
Right wing fascists marching in the streets. Pulling Americans from their homes in the middle of the night. Kidnappings and disappearing. Nope not violence.
Resisting any of that? So much for the tolerant left.
