“We don’t settle our differences in America with riots, mobs, bullets or hammers. We settle them peacefully at the … ballot box,” President Biden told the nation Thursday, referring to the attack on Paul. Pelosi. Paul Pelosi was attacked in his home last month by a man with a hammer and left with a fractured skull. The man, an illegal immigrant from Canada named David DePape, allegedly broke into Pelosi’s San Francisco home through a glass door and was on a “suicide mission” to bring the Speaker of the House “to his knees,” according to court records. The attack sparked a firestorm of condemnation from some media and liberals that right-wing rhetoric was to blame.

It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow.” , Hillary Clinton said For example, she tweeted after attacking Pelosi. Democrats, however, are not free to make comments that have been accused of calling for violence, according to a review by Fox News Digital that looks at 2020 so far.

Senator Chuck Schumer
“I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You’ve unleashed the tornado and you’re going to pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go ahead with these awful decisions,” New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said on 2020 during a pro-choice rally organized by the Center for Reproductive Rights. The remark was applauded by conservatives across the country and even drew a rare rebuke from Justice John Roberts, who called the comment “dangerous.” Earlier this year, after the Supreme Court effectively ended the recognition of abortion as a constitutional right, an armed man carrying a gun, knife and pepper spray was arrested near Cavanaugh’s home. The man was charged with attempted murder of a federal judge.
Senator Mazie Hirono
In September, Democratic Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono came under fire for saying that Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham’s proposed bill restriction of abortions after 15 weeks it was “literally” a “call to arms” to resist the pro-life movement. The remark was made on the Senate floor and condemned in light of how dozens of pro-life centers were vandalized, set on fire and otherwise destroyed over the summer in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. SEN. HIRONO SEIZED FOR ‘CALL TO GUNS’ RESPONSE TO ABORTION BILL: ‘RISES LIKE A CALL FOR VIOLENCE’
Agent Sara Jacobs
California Democratic Rep. Sarah Jacobs also made controversial comments this summer following the Supreme Court’s abortion opinion. While attending a demonstration, Jacobs did not condemn or condone acts of violence against the pro-life movement, saying people should do whatever they feel is necessary to protest the abortion decision. “Honestly, the government trying to tell me what to do with my body feels like an act of violence in itself,” Jacobs said in June. “I think people should do what they think is the most effective way to resist this despicable and shameful decision,” he said when asked if he condoned the violence.
Representative Maxine Waters
After the protests and riots of 2020, California Rep. Maxine Waters called on those gathered in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota in 2021 to “stay on the street” and “fight harder” if former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin is acquitted of his murder George. Floyd. “We have to stay on the street and demand justice,” Waters said. “We’ve got to stay the course. And we’ve got to be more proactive, we’ve got to be more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure they know we mean business,” he added.
Rep. Jackie Spier
On the day the court threw out Roe v. Wade, California Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier appeared on MSNBC and called on abortion advocates to “arm up.” “There is a war out there and we have to recognize that we have to arm ourselves,” said Speier, who was backed up by fellow network guest spokeswoman Ayanna Pressley. “Right, that’s not a drill,” Pressley replied.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley
In August 2020, as riots plagued cities like Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis following Floyd’s murder, Massachusetts Democratic Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley called for “unrest in the streets.” “This is as much about public outcry and organizing and mobilizing and lobbying that this GOP-led Senate and these governors who continue to carry water for this administration, putting the American people at risk, turning a deaf ear us to our needs. families and our communities — hold them accountable,” Pressley said on MSNBC’s “AM Joy.” AYANNA PRESSLEY CALLS FOR ‘RESURRECTION IN THE STREETS’ FOR TRUMP’S POLITICAL ALLIES WHO ARE IGNORING AMERICANS’ CONCERNS “Make the phone calls, send the emails, show up,” he continued. “You know, there must be unrest in the streets as long as there is unrest in our lives.”
Vice President Kamala Harris
Similarly, Vice President Kamala Harris came under fire in the run-up to the 2020 election and before she was named Biden’s running mate for saying “everybody pay attention,” the protesters after Floyd’s killing “aren’t going to stop.” “They’re not going to stop,” Harris said on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in June of that year. “This is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not going to stop and everybody watch out, because they’re not going to stop. They’re not going to stop before Election Day in November and they’re not going to stop after Election Day. Everyone should to consider it at both levels. They are not going to give up and they must not and we must not give up.” FLASHBACK: KAMALA HARIS SAID THE PAN-HELLENIC PROTESTS “WON’T STOP” Harris, who had also promoted the far-left Minnesota Freedom Fund that worked to get people out of prison amid the 2020 riots, was criticized for the remark as condoning violence, though she used the word “protests” rather than “riots”.

In September, Biden played down rhetoric that “MAGA Republicans” were a threat to democracy and pointed to instances such as the January 6 attack on Capitol Hill and Republican efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. has been widely condemned by Republicans, including Trump, who called the incident a “heinous attack.” “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic,” Biden said Sept. 1 during a speech in Philadelphia. “The MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of free elections.” President Joe Biden speaks at Independence National Historical Park, Sept. 1, 2022, in Philadelphia, about “the ongoing battle for the nation’s soul.” (Alex Wong/Getty Images) “They are promoting authoritarian leaders and fanning the flames of political violence that are a threat to our individual rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country,” Biden said of supporters of the MAGA agenda in his speech. But since Biden’s speech in Philadelphia, a handful of Republicans and pro-life organizations have come under attack, according to an earlier review by Fox News Digital. She was an old woman in her 80s shot in Michigan as he sought to support a right-to-life group in October. Two volunteers for Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s re-election campaign were allegedly attacked while knocking on doors in a Houston suburb in September, and a campaign researcher for Sen. Marco Rubio was assaulted and required hospital care last month. A handful of GOP offices were also reportedly vandalized this election cycle, including one in Florida with “eat fascists” graffiti days after Biden called MAGA Republicans “quasi-fascists.” Democratic campaign offices have also been targeted, including one in Florida that was also vandalized with the word “Nazi” written in graffiti. Shannon Bradt, the man accused of fatally hitting Kayler Ellingson with an SUV, has been charged with murder in the 18-year-old’s death. (Stutsman County Correctional Center/Facebook) In September, teenager Kyler Ellingson was fatally mowed down by a man who believed Ellingson was part of a Republican “extremist” group targeting him. North Dakota law enforcement later said there was no evidence Ellingson was a member of such an “extremist group.” “President Biden condemns these attacks and has made it clear that violence, threats of violence and vandalism are completely unacceptable – no matter who is committing such acts or why.” White House Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital in October about the attacks.
