Just over a year ago, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., returned to Congress after being shot by a crazed gunman during a congressional Republican baseball practice. His ordeal marked a low in our nation’s political discourse – one that blew past hostile rhetoric into outright violence.

On Sunday former Attorney General Eric Holder doubled down on what has become the left’s new normal. Speaking at a campaign event in Georgia, he said of Republicans: “When they go low, we kick ‘em. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about.”

Holder’s audience, unfortunately, was receptive, chanting “fight” instead of challenging him on his damaging rhetoric.

On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton said in a CNN interview that “you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.” Speaking as a bitter and sore loser, she said a prerequisite to civility would be Democrats winning back majorities in Congress this year.

Time and again, those on the left have shown the American people that they do not intend to reverse course and close the ever-widening divide between Americans. Their hatred for President Trump has caused them to dig in their heels, dehumanize Republicans and encourage harassment against those who disagree with them. In doing so, they have brought about the death of civility.

The people who were shot on that baseball field in 2017 witnessed this firsthand. So did Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who was assaulted from behind last November by a neighbor who broke his ribs and damaged his lungs.
Senseless acts like these will likely continue, which makes it more important than ever for Democrats to forcefully condemn the culture their own rhetoric has created.

Instead, the top ranks of the Democratic Party continue to sow division.
In June, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., told supporters to harass Trump administration officials and “tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”

In July, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. – presumably a future presidential candidate –encouraged activists to “get up in the face of some congresspeople.”

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders was driven out of a restaurant for her political beliefs. So was Kirstjen Nielsen, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Most recently, it was Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

And then there was the all-out character assassination campaign against Supreme Court nominee and now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The campaign was waged by Senate Democrats, their media allies and angry mobs intent on destroying a good man’s life.

When their campaign failed, liberal mobs resorted to pounding on the doors of the Supreme Court and continuing their disruptive tantrums.
As Republicans, we believe in treating every American with respect and dignity. We believe political differences are not an excuse for bad behavior.

We do not “kick” those with whom we disagree. Instead, we work hard to win elections and support President Trump’s agenda – one that reflects the same respect for opportunity and liberty for all.

During the Sunday campaign event, Holder encouraged Democratic activists “to be as tough as they (Republicans) are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are.”

Holder is right about one thing – Republicans are indeed tough, dedicated and committed.

We are tough in the face of adversity. We are dedicated to making life better for the American people. We are committed to lifting up every single community.

The results since President Trump took office speak for themselves: record low unemployment, the largest set of tax cuts in a generation, rapid deregulation and unprecedented economic growth.

The Republican Party will continue to fight for what matters most: a brighter future for our nation. And we will do so undeterred by attacks from the left. That is how we win.

Holder is just another idiot.

a real a88, same as Rahm

Don't forget Booker and Ellison. Hypocrites and serial abusers.

Obama encouraged lawlessness when he didn't condemn the riots in Missouri. Things haven't been the same.

Democrats know a lot of their supporters are bottom feeders. That's why the welfare for all works in their campaign. JOBS isn't what they want. They see tax cuts as republicans stealing THEIR MONEY. It makes then angry and violent.

Holder wants to act like some bad a** thug, let him try harassing or kicking a good ole boy down here in the south and he will learn real quick he s wagering a losing battle. Were done playing their games if they want to get serious" bring it on"

citizens, heal thyselves.

WOW. HERE IS AN EYE-OPENING ARTICLE. IT FITS OBAMA'S BEHAVIOR IN OFFICE.


https://canadafreepress.com/article/destroying-whitey-in-obamas-new-world-order

interestingly sensationalist and devoid of fact about Obama.

I found that article an interesting read. A closet Marxist, is a pretty good view of obama. hillary was an Alinski convert. They both were following the Marxist takeover playbook.

Chicago has had it's share of violence during obama's tenure. Why didn't he do something about it?

why didnt any other politician? do state senators usually decrease violence in the inner cities somehow?

162 protesters were arrested for being disorderly during the weeks surrounding kavanaugh's confirmation in D.C. Maybe they will make bail by the midterm elections and support their views in the correct way.

Because the President has MANY options to handle such a situation.

and is the President the first line of responsibility for all the crime happening in all the cities across the US? do they not have city governments and city officials who are paid to do that?

Our president needs to support our law enforcement. You didn't see Obama doing that and it lead to police officers being sniped. We aren't seeing that under Trump. Hell, I don't even hear anything about BLM anymore.

BLM had their 15 minutes of fame and disappeared
None it just means
Bacon lettuce & mayo..no tomato

Or maybe they decided to give us all the silent treatment...like Colin

I know the FBI was monitoring them as a terrorist group. Now we have a president who doesn't condone the rioting and war against our police officers. We are lucky things didn't get any worse under Obama. Our schools were threatened by BLM. We had law enforcement and volunteer parents/community members guarding the roads to our schools. I personally had blacks try to start fights. One was at Kohls. The crazy ***** would get in front of me at any rack I went to look at. My daughter walked up and pushed her out of my way. We went to the mall after. Blacks were talking and their toddler ran out of the play area. My son in law saved the kid from falling down the escalators. The ungrateful ***** ran over my grandsons shoe as she left. They are nothing more than ghetto hoodrats.

law enforcement is not above the law. Our President need to support the LAW.

or not

Colin Kaepernick was one of eight recipients of the W.E.B. Dubois Medal from Harvard on Thursday for his work in social justice.


Hint: Just because we dont 'see' something or it is not in the sources we choose to view, doesn't mean it isnt there.

Very little has been as newsworthy lately as the weather, Trumps mouth, and Kavanaugh's confirmation, they have been the leading stories, but not the only stories.
