After the tragic shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers, resulting in the deaths of former state Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, liberal media have been on the blame Trump bandwagon.
Mainstream media has been pushing the narrative that it is conservatives who are most responsible for political violence, but “The Federalist” editor Mollie Hemingway set the record straight when she appeared on Fox News.
“Amy Klobuchar pointed out the instances of political violence have gone from 1,000 in 2016 to 9,000 threats against elected officials. Horrific to see. I do want to point this out I think we’ve got a call spades when we see them. And to have a media that 211 times calls the riots peaceful and CNN was responsible for 123 of those, MSNBC 88. To call them peaceful when there are literally law enforcement officers who were harmed during them. It’s not just a media malpractice. It’s a dereliction of duty to give inaccurate information,” Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany said.
“It’s important that people understand what’s going on that these riots are organized, that they are Intended to be nationwide, and they’re intended to go after the rule of law,” Hemmingway responded.
“You know you have people saying they want to not enforce border protections and security, and you see so much about how these riots are going very similar to how the BLM riots went in 2020. And I noticed you talked about what was happening in Portland with the ICE facility,” the editor said.
“It’s worth remembering that those same people sieged a federal courthouse in Portland for months in the summer of 2020. And Americans are really sick and tired of seeing this kind of violence go unchecked. Political violence can happen from any place. But there really is a problem on the left with sustained political violence like going back for decades. And it needs to be honestly reported, and unfortunately, it’s not,” she said.
