The Speaker said to us moments ago, “Words matter,” but apparently, those words don’t matter when they’re uttered by Democrats when the gentle lady from Massachusetts calls for unrest in the streets, when the gentle lady from California brazenly brags that she called for people to get in the faces of those who serve and support the President.
I denounce political violence from all ends of the spectrum, but make no mistake. The left in America has incited far more political violence than the right. For months, our cities burned. Police stations burned. Our businesses were shattered, and they said nothing, or they cheer led for it, and they fundraised for it and they allowed it to happen in the greatest country in the world.
