I know there was a discussion on fascism today. This ought to add to it.
https://spectator.org/unmasked-americas-real-fascists/
* The owner of an innocent-sounding “Red Hen” restaurant in Lexington, Virginia boasting that she refused to serve the presidential press secretary Sarah Sanders and asked her to leave. Sanders quite politely did. Now we learn from Sanders’ Dad, Governor Mike Huckabee, that when Sanders did as requested and went to another nearby restaurant — the angry Red Hen owner followed and kept harassing her.
* A Florida Democratic Party activist threatened Republican Congressman Brian Mast’s children, saying to one of the Congressman’s interns: “If you are going to separate kids at the border, I’m going to kill his kids.” News reports note that the man had called the Congressman’s office 478 times.
* Hostile students physically assaulting a speaker at Middlebury College, giving an accompanying college official a concussion.
* Hooded Antifa members, “armed with sticks and shields and clad in shin pads and gloves” (per the Washington Post), rampaging through the streets of Berkeley to attack a peaceful rally. Five people were assaulted.
* Media Matters and its constant campaigns to bully advertisers into removing conservative X from the nation’s television screen or radio air waves, warning that advertisers will get “burned” if they don’t comply.
* A Member of Congress calls on supporters to confront and harass Trump administration officials when seen in public. Said Maxine Waters: “They’re not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they’re not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they’re not going to be able to shop at a department store. The people are going to turn on them, they’re going to protest, they’re going to absolutely harass them.”
* Florida’s Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Republican and Trump supporter, needed a police escort to get through hecklers who had confronted her at a movie theater in Tampa. The movie she had seen? It was about Mr. Rogers, the late Fred Rogers whose motto of his kids show was “Won’t you be my neighbor?” Questioned by a reporter one of the protesters snapped: “I’m not Mr. Rogers.” Indeed. Reported Bondi: “Thugs cursed me one inch from my face…”
* White House aide Stephen Miller was, per the New York Post, “accosted at a Mexican restaurant by a patron calling him a ‘fascist.’”
* A Left-wing activist shoots and almost kills the Trump-supporting Republican House Whip, Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise, at practice for a congressional baseball game. He wounds three others as well.
* Fox contributor Tomi Lahren, having brunch with her parents at a Minneapolis restaurant, has a glass of water thrown in her face by a fellow diner as fellow diners yelled at her and called her a racist.
* Leftist activist Dan Savage tweets out a call for a “…. march on Fox News HQ — all of this hateful propaganda is being broadcast from an office building in midtown Manhattan. Activists surrounded & shut down an ICE office in Portland. The same can and should be done to Fox News in NYC.”
* Actor Peter Fonda tweets out that someone should “rip Barron Trump from his mother’s arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles.”
* Actor Robert De Niro, making a presentation on the nationally televised Tony Awards for Broadway stars, makes a point of looking out at the cameras and saying, as reported by the Washington Post, “‘ F— Trump,’ using an expletive. Then, in case, anyone missed it, he circled back. “It’s no longer down with Trump,” he said, “but f— Trump.” The audience of celebrities jumped to their feet and cheered.
And, oh yes. Recall when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remarked that “Canadians, we’re polite, we’re reasonable….”? Perhaps the PM hasn’t met one “Quebec City writer Nora Loreto” who, as described here, suggested First Lady Melania Trump should be decapitated. Yes, you read that right.
There are more tales like this out there, but these will suffice to illustrate the problem.
Newsflash? America, we have a problem.
