Just days after a diehard supporter of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders opened fire at conservative Congressmen and nearly killed House Majority Whip Steve Scalise in Washington, D.C., Sanders is back on message.
Monday, the outspoken socialist appeared on Facebook Live with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and together they delivered a disturbing message to their liberal backers: Continue to “fight back” against conservatives in “unprecedented ways.”
For months, Democratic leaders and liberal celebrities have been demanding bloodshed from their followers. In February, The Horn News reported on the secret code-words leftists were using to push their fringe supporters to commit violence — what Illinois Rep. Rodney Davis called the left’s “terrorist rhetoric.”
After dozens of bloody riots and assaults, on June 14th an outspoken Bernie supporter, James T. Hodgkinson, took the violence to the next level and shot four conservatives during a Congressional baseball practice in Washington, D.C.
Liberal leaders aren’t backing down, though. Despite the bloodshed, they’re still encouraging supporters to act in “unprecedented” ways.
In fact, on an appearance on Facebook Live, Sanders told 14,000 viewers Monday that it was their job to organize “millions of people” to stop Trump in a “political revolution.”
“When I talk about a political revolution, this is what I’m talking about — for people all over this country to put pressure on every level of government to say that in America, we are the wealthiest country in the history of the world,” Sanders told supporters before outlining the life-or-death stakes. “We are not going to let horrendous things happen to millions and millions of working people!”
“We’ve got to stand up and fight back! We have got to be involved in the political process in a way that we have never been before because what is happening now in Washington is unprecedented,” Sanders told a supporter named Mary, who called into the recording session.
Sanders then looked at the camera, pointed and told his supporters to “fight back.”
“You have got to, Mary, act in an unprecedented way,” Sanders said. “Think big. Get involved in every way that you can.”
This is the exact kind of nasty rhetoric that nearly cost a Congressman his life.
Encouraging supporters by using the words “revolution” and “fighting back” and telling them to take “unprecedented” actions means one thing — this violence won’t end.
Not until this dangerous hyperbole from liberal leaders is checked.
