While Democratic politicians and the corporate media blamed President Donald Trump for the mob riot at the Capitol on Wednesday, saying his rhetoric incited violence, many of these same lawmakers and bureaucrats have for years called for violence and physical action against those who believe differently than they do.
“Hate to break it to you but if Trump had won, there would have been violence on Wednesday, and it most certainly would have been worse. How do I know? Because Democrats have been endorsing violence as a political tactic throughout the Trump Administration,” wrote Grabien founder Tom Elliott on Twitter.
In an extensive thread, Elliott outlined many examples of Democratic politicians and other leftists advocating for violence as a response to conservatives.
In 2018, Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California said on MSNBC that if Trump fired special counsel Robert Mueller, there would be “widespread civil unrest” as people would “take to the streets.”
Similarly, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper agreed that if Trump fired Mueller, it would “set off a firestorm not only on the Hill but also in the streets.”
That same year, Sen. Cory Booker urged people to answer a “call to action” to protest at the Capitol. “Please, get up in the face of some congresspeople,” Booker said at a conference.
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said civility was only an option if the Democrats controlled the legislative branch. “You can’t be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for and what you care for,” she said in 2018.

Tell me one republican without a bad story.
The vigor starts early.
Before knowing my voting preferences, I was attacked in high school by more than a few. They dig by grave.
These are the unruly we should ask early nebulous cold. They face their fears your human being.
Coward circuit.
Matzav, please don’t confuse us with the facts!
ONLY 10 times Dems urged violence against Trump and his supporters? And what about all their false accusations since he took office? Have the Dems done anything these 4 years except for violence?
BTW why the above photo of a young woman reading a children’s book?
That’s no young woman.
That’s my favorite Bubby, Hillary Clinton.
I see this article conveniently leaves out Maxine Waters’ call to her kind, to go out and harass WHITE Republicans at their private homes, restaurants, schools, place of employment, etc… But rule #1 is, never criticize an outrage that a real black commits. That’s R A C I S T!
