13. How stupid do they think we are?

Sean Davis, the CEO and co-founder of the Federalist, “When Democrats lose elections they couldn’t steal, they murder the people they were unable to defeat.”


Has there been a single Republican politician murdered in this country in the past 10 years? That is murdered by anyone? I found a grand total of one. That was Eunice Dwumfour, a member of the borough council of Sayreville, New Jersey, was assassinated on February 1, 2023. The murderer was Rashid Ali Bynum, a resident of Portsmouth, Virginia, who was a former resident of Sayreville and had been a member of the Fire Congress Fellowship, a religious organization with offices near Sayreville that Dwumfour helped to lead. So he wasn't a Democrat who lost an election to her. The murder seemed to revolve around the religious organization they were both members of. The next most recent Republican politician to be murdered while in office was a Federal Judge way back in 1988.

There have been numerous Democrats murdered during that same time.

Christopher Rufo, who made a name opposing critical race theory, called for swift action. “The last time the radical Left orchestrated a wave of violence and terror, J. Edgar Hoover shut it all down within a few years,” he posted to his 832,000 followers on X. “It is time, within the confines of the law, to infiltrate, disrupt, arrest, and incarcerate all of those who are responsible for this chaos.”


Hoover was in his heyday in the 1960's when there were 5 major political assassinations. All those assassinated were on the left side of the political spectrum: John F. Kennedy, Malcom X., Martin Luther King, Jr., Robert F. Kennedy & Medger Evers. Doesn't seem like it was the "left" orchestrating a wave of violence & terror, nor does it seem like Hoover shut it down.
