DNC delegate thuggery indicts Democratic Party on political violence

Another day, another Democratic apparatchik involved in a violent act of domestic terrorism — in this case, a Dem convention delegate arrested for his involvement in riots in Ferguson, Mo., where an attack left a beloved cop clinging to life. 

Keith Rose, a St. Louis DNC alternate (he’s now withdrawn), is accused of kicking in a metal gate outside a police station under siege by “mostly peaceful” rioters commemorating the death of Michael Brown with violence and anarchy. 

Golly, it sure is funny how closely interwoven the leftist riot-bloc apparatus seems to be with the traditional machinery of the Democratic Party.

It’s almost as if national Democrats endorse this kind of thing. 

After all, Congress and state and local legislatures are full of Democrats who’ve voted again and again to defund and hamstring the cops, violent consequences be damned. 

Democratic DAs have gone easy on the antisemitic thugs who attacked and intimidated Jews on campuses across the country through the summer. 

Heck, the current Dem nominee for president, Kamala Harris, gave her blessing to the riots that burned in Minneapolis in the summer of 2020. 

Of course, the party’s embrace of widespread political violence — which makes the Jan. 6 Capitol riot look like a rowdy cookout — doesn’t ever satisfy the hard left wing. 

Witness the wide expectation for Chicago 1968-style riots around the Democrats’ convention. 

Even Harris, the most extreme leftist ever to grace a Dem ticket, is too far right for them — they’re calling her “Bombala” for being insufficiently pro-Hamas, and disrupting events to support her in Manhattan. 

Meanwhile, Travis Brown, the police officer attacked by the rioters, may well die and leave his twin daughters fatherless.

That’s what the Democrats are co-signing. And it’s not something Americans should ever forget as they go to the polls in November.
