Elle Purnell of the Federalist places two current political controversies in context.
The radicals running the Democrat Party have no interest in sharing a country with you. At best, they want you impotently sidelined while they seize power; at worst, they take joy at the thought of putting “two bullets” in your skull. Just ask Katie Porter and Jay Jones, two candidates for statewide office in major states who just said the quiet part out loud.
Jones — as you’ve no doubt heard, unless you live in a hole in the ground otherwise known as the corporate media’s dwindling subscription lists — texted a colleague about his fantasies of putting “two bullets” in Republican Todd Gilbert, who had committed the unforgivable offense of saying kind words about a Democrat who had recently died. Jones, who is running to be Virginia’s top law enforcement officer, also expressed a wish for Gilbert’s wife to watch her children die and said the Gilberts were “breeding little fascists.”
Porter, a Democrat candidate for governor of California, laughed in the face of a reporter who asked what Porter would “say to the 40 percent of California voters, who you’ll need in order to win, who voted for Trump?”
“How would I need them in order to win, ma’am?” Porter scowled, before turning to the camera to laugh. “If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump.” …
… The message was clear: Katie Porter is not interested in representing the 40 percent of her state that identifies as Republican. She just wants to rule them.
Jones and Porter are stupid enough to say out loud — or in writing — what they believe about people who hold different political beliefs than theirs, but they aren’t alone. Not a single Democrat in Congress, nor Democrats’ Virginia gubernatorial candidate, has been willing to call for Jones’ withdrawal from the race over his murderous fantasies.
