Ted Cruz Slams Democrats After Attempted Assassination of Justice Kavanaugh – Opinion

A Californian man attempted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in his California home. The man was intercepted before he was able to break into the justice’s house. The man was carrying a pistol, pepper spray and other burglary tools. There’s also no ambiguity about what his intentions were–given he admitted he was there to kill Kavanaugh.

The leaked draft of an opinion to overturn the ruling supposedly motivated the man. Roe v. WadeThis brings us to an obvious question: Were Democrats involved in this attempt at attack?

Let’s recall that top Democrats, from Chuck Schumer to Elizabeth Warren, have used violent rhetoric in response to the possibility of Roe being overturned.

When you tell people that the justices are fascists looking to take away your “right” to kill a baby, while insisting that they must be stopped, is it any surprise some people might take that to the extreme? That’s what appears to have happened here, and Ted Cruz let Democrats have it over their inciteful rhetoric.

Biden, the Dems and their incendiary Roe rhetoric must be stopped. They also need to condemn their support for violence. 2/x

While Cruz’s call for those on the left to take things down a notch is laudable, he’s probably spitting into the wind. You can expect Democrats to obfuscate from the dangerous situation that occurred, with it only garnering a passing mention in the press (enough to say “we covered it”). By contrast, if this were a liberal justice, it’d be used as an indictment of the entire right, with sweeping generalizations and demands from every GOP politician alive to condemn what happened.

It is a simple truth that Democrats don’t want to follow their rules. They want to be able to assert that using the word “fight” is violent incitement when it’s Trump saying it, but when it’s Warren saying it, it’s just her showing passion. When a Republican uses any kind of physical imagery in a political speech, that’s incitement, but when Schumer does it, it’s just an expression.

As an exercise in frustration, just try to imagine what the response would be if Cruz had said to Sonia Sotomayer that she would “reap the whirlwind” so hard that “you won’t know what hit you.” We’d be having congressional hearings over it. But again, the rules don’t apply to Democrats.

Hopefully, Kavanaugh doesn’t take these threats lying down. This should actually strengthen Kavanaugh’s resolve. This would mean that the institution of court could not be intimated at this time. That can’t be allowed to happen. Cruz’s assessment is spot on. Democrats own the heated environment they’ve created, and it’s up to them to take the temperature down. If you keep telling people they are going to “lose their democracy” every time the left doesn’t get its way, bad things are bound to happen.
