In the wake of the second assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in just two months, Democrats have been almost unanimous in claiming there’s no room for political violence in America.

She’s become a favorite of the party, being named as the ranking member of the House Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government, which is examining how the Biden-Harris administration has turned the bureaucracies of the federal government into weapons of war, and warfare, against Trump and Republicans.
She boasts on her website that in that position she works “to ensure Democratic members of this Subcommittee focus on evidence-based inquiries and not wild conspiracy theories.”
She states, “The Republican’s (sic) attempt to derail the federal government’s obligation to investigate and conduct due process on actions, organizations, and individuals that threaten our republic and create an anti-democratic environment will be met with strong resistance by Ms. Plaskett and her Democratic colleagues on the subcommittee.”
She also was an impeachment manager for one of ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s failed impeach-and-remove campaigns against Trump.
That wasn’t the only threat to Trump, either.
One video has assembled more than two minutes of direct threats, often from politicians, entertainers and other public figures:
