The Family of Democrat Thugs Who Assaulted Savanah Hernandez Have All be Indicted by a Federal Grand Jury

Acting AG Todd Blanche @DAGToddBlanche

Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul.

Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground -- simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT "peaceful protest." These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.

The whole family -- the thug 250 pound father who brutally knocked the 110 pound girl in the back, the psychopathic daughter who repeated assaulted her by blowing a very loud whistle directly into her ear (yes that's assault, and the attack can have serious long-term consequences), and the mother too.

Say, remember when the left -- especially the odious Wormtongue Jake Tapper -- kept pushing the idea of "stochastic terrorism," claiming that if we said "CNN Sucks," or that they were liberal as fuck, that was the same as loading a bullet into a rifle for an anti-media assassin?

And now Jake Tapper claims that there's no such thing? At least as far as him and his leftwing propagandists urging violence against Trump and Republicans?

David Harsanyi:

A few years back, left-wing media began popularizing the phrase "stochastic terrorism," so they could blame mainstream conservative rhetoric for random violent acts. When a white supremacist goes on a shooting spree, legacy media demand that every Republican official in the country take ownership and denounce the act as if their rhetoric led to the violence.

Yet, when a left-winger such as Cole Allen allegedly tries to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, leaving a manifesto that's virtually indistinguishable from the rhetoric used by the average liberal podcaster or politician, the same people act as if the two things are completely unrelated. There's not a hint of self-reflection.

Politics, of course, has always been hyperbolic. Both Democrats and Republicans say terrible things about opposition presidents. But there's probably never been anything approaching the unhinged hysteria aimed at Trump.

For years, it was broadly accepted by the Left that Trump was an asset of a foreign adversary. And when the president wasn't operating "concentration camps" or stealing votes from minority groups, he was instituting fascism. And this wasn't the usual vague pejorative synonym for "conservativism."

"Yes, it's okay to compare Trump to Hitler. Don't let me stop you," one Washington Post op-ed argued. Though to be fair, another Washington Post op-ed disagreed: "Don't compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. It belittles Hitler."

Trump is now regularly accused of being a rapist and pedophile and a puppet of the Jews who are plunging us into endless war for personal gain.

"And," wrote Allen, who'd been marinating in this panic for about a decade, "I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

There have now been three major attempts to murder the Republican president. Not long ago, Charlie Kirk, one of the most popular conservative voices in the nation, was assassinated. Before that, Brian Thompson, the CEO of the largest insurance company in the country, was murdered on the street. Before that, a leftist showed up with a Glock, zip ties, and duct tape to assassinate a Supreme Court justice. Before that, a Bernie Sanders fan attempted to eliminate the entire Republican House leadership on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia.

That's not even to mention the "free Palestine" activists who show up at protests with firebombs or murder Israeli Embassy workers on the streets of Washington. Or the fire-bombings of Tesla dealerships. Or the antifa fire-bombings and attacks on police stations and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. Or the attacks on pregnancy centers after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Or the Black Lives Matter riots, the most destructive in American history.

When a would-be terrorist shows up at the Capitol with Molotov cocktails to kill Republican officials, we barely even talk about it.

That's a pattern. That's a big problem.

Marxist violence has always been with us. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a communist in Dallas. The only other president assassinated in the 20th century, William McKinley, was killed by the bullets of radical leftist Leon Czolgosz. A slew of communist and anarchist terrorist bombings culminated in the deaths of 30 people on Wall Street in 1920.

Most cultural depictions of the '60s and '70s offer us genteel, peace-loving hippies. The reality was an unprecedented rise in left-wing terrorism, led by groups such as the Weather Underground, which were setting off bombs at the Capitol, police stations, the Pentagon, and the offices of attorneys general. In an 18-month span between 1971 and 1972, there were 2,500 bombings in the United States by leftist groups.

It seems to me that things could easily go back in that direction, or worse, because the contemporary Left is increasingly and openly comfortable with violence.

Greg Gutfeld just delivered the single most succinct and cutting indictment of the leftwing media's complicity in Saturday's WHCD attack:

"This guy did hear voices. They were Ted Lieu's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS NOW."

"I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness."

"He wasn't a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative ... He was just following orders."

Greg nails it

Same Old, Same Old: Target Trump

At the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Donald Trump was the target of yet a third assassination attempt--this time in full view of the Washington press corps.

The event was presented as a spirited night with Trump. After 11 years of avoiding the predominantly left-wing media event, he decided to revisit the dinner. He anticipated that he would be the object of ridicule inside the hall--and that he might see possible violence outside it.

Indeed, protesters ringed the hotel. In grimly prescient fashion, the usual sort of crowd that night was channeling John Wilkes Booth--sic semper tyrannis--with placards reading "Death to Tyrants."

They again almost got their wish.

All three of the would-be Trump shooters--along with Charlie Kirk's murderer--fit the predictable profile of arrested-development, deranged leftists. They apparently sought to reify the popular Democrat hatred of Trump and his supporters, thereby imagining themselves entering the pantheon of revolutionary heroes.

So too, not long ago, did the would-be killer of Trump, Austin Tucker Martin, storm Mar-a-Lago in search of the absent president.

This time, the latest assassin, Cole Tomas Allen, left a manifesto repeating the old saw of Trump as "Hitler" and sought to kill the president and his cabinet members. Indeed, his incoherent screed read like a Petri dish of all the supposed sins of Trump, drawing on left-wing conspiracies about Russian collusion, lawfare myths, and the Epstein files.

Allen's attempt was another fantasy of mass murdering, not unlike that of former Bernie Sanders campaign aide James T. Hodgkinson. He tried to take out Republican congressional leaders--wounding four, including House Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise--in a baseball game in Washington.

Other than the fact that the shooter nearly reached the doors to the auditorium, the Secret Service performed brilliantly--despite the Democratic effort to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.

Apparently, the Left's mindset is that the security of elected officials--Trump especially--and of American citizens is not nearly as important as ensuring that foreign nationals who entered the country illegally are not legally returned to their countries of origin.

Assassins are motivated by all sorts of impulses, but certainly they do not act in a void.

From the trickle-down world of social media, the internet, and street theater, would-be killers absorb elite signals. This messaging becomes especially baleful when celebrities, governors, senators, and politicos amplify the claim that Trump is a fascist, a Nazi, a monster who is destroying the country and who must be stopped "by any means necessary." Late-night comedians joke about past assassinations or assassination attempts; others have even claimed that Trump staged his first assassination attempt--and this one too!

So deep runs their hatred.

For over a decade, the Left has escalated its rhetoric of violence against Trump. Each politico, actor, celebrity, or billionaire seems to vie with the next in imagining new ways to kill or assault him.

Had that sort of rhetoric been directed at Obama or Biden, it would likely have put many of them in jail.

...

...

The hardcore left-wing establishment believes this sort of Hitler/Trump rhetoric, combined with the normalization of street violence, generates ever more protests, fuels anti-ICE fury, unites Congressional Democrats, and--most importantly--drives down Trump poll numbers. In their view, it is a lot more effective than merely outlining an alternative agenda.

So expect far more, not less, of this left-wing violent madness to come.

See, what they're not realizing is that yes, they are making political violence acceptable on the left, but they're also making it acceptable among the right.

I hope they're ready for the fire they've set.
