We regret to inform you that -- defying all laws of physics and irony -- the self-awareness level of the legacy media has hit yet another new low today.
Republicans, at least some of them, have finally stopped playing softball with Democrats and their radical, violent left-wing base. Yesterday and today, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer has excoriated Democrats for catering to what he has dubbed 'the terrorist wing of their party.'
Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week." pic.twitter.com/FKnIpFMSUY

When you look at the Antifa riots and violence in cities like Portland and Chicago (and coming next week to our nation's capital), Emmer isn't exactly wrong here. And elected Democrats keep egging them on, referring to ICE as a 'Gestapo,' or making up lies about federal agents 'disappearing people.'
Antifa -- which IS a terrorist organization -- has responded to that incitement accordingly.
But for legacy media hack David Weigel, this type of language from Emmer was too much for him to bear.
Republicans getting very comfortable accusing nonviolent liberal groups of being "terrorist." https://t.co/edMsyXYO0r https://t.co/jexOXm44sW

Nonviolent? NONVIOLENT?
We think Erika Kirk and parents of Catholic children in schools, not to mention journalists like Andy Ngo, might take issue with that characterization.
But it is even richer coming from Weigel, who has never uttered a word of concern with the terminology Democrats use to describe anyone to the political right of Che Guevara.

Hey, come on, now. That was (D)ifferent. Or something.
GP My dude, Democrats have literally been calling us fascists, racists, and Nazis for a decade.

Not to mention stating our speech is violence, not-so-quietly implying violence against us is not just acceptable but necessary. https://t.co/UyaN1hmcUI
They even called Mittens Romney a Nazi. A racist Nazi at that. Or did Weigel forget when Joe Biden said that Romney wanted to put all black people 'back in chains'?

There's little question that Kirk's assassin was associated with online Antifa groups. Many of them seemed to know what he was going to do the day before he did it.
That's some pretty violent nonviolence right there.
Man, that’s a real shame.

HA.
The journalists who have been helping dems in pushing the "fascist" and "nazi" garbage for yrs are suddenly upset about this rhetoric https://t.co/1ivWi8U9x1
— Jay Asliken 🕋☪️✈️ (@assliken) October 10, 2025
The secret is that they're not upset. Not even Weigel. They just pretend to be upset when the rhetoric is applied to their team.

That anti-drug commercial from the '80s sure does come in handy a lot these days, doesn't it?

They never enjoy the reaping season.
There are no non-violent liberal groups.
— Mark Noonan (@Mark_E_Noonan) October 10, 2025
They all actively promote violence.
That's because they're not liberal. They're leftists. And when you don't do what a leftist demands you to do, violence is their FIRST instinct.
Democrats getting very comfortable with political discourse causing leftist trans shooting non-violent Republicans on campus, Jews outside fundraisers, young kids in schools and people praying in churches. https://t.co/IxADPEYl9G

Meanwhile, of course, Weigel would be hard-pressed to cite ANY political violence from conservatives in recent years. But he was (and is) still totally cool with the 'fascist' label.
You should be grateful that they're not doing the "nonviolence" your side is doing. https://t.co/011SmRYXph

That's a pretty small violin. But Weigel deserves one even smaller than that.
Democrats were calling Republicans terrorists on the floor of Congress while Steve Scalise was still in a wheelchair from when a Bernie Bro almost assassinated two dozen Republicans.

Let's not forget AOC and her favorite term for conservatives: 'stochastic' terrorists.
Nonviolent liberals like Jay Jones, perhaps? Or the groups screaming at Jews? I'd say "terrorist wing" is letting off a lot of Democrats lightly.
— Orb (@InfiniteOrb) October 10, 2025
Jones is openly fantasizing about killing Republicans and their children. His running mate in Virginia, Abigail Spanberger, is telling her supporters, 'Let your rage fuel you.'
But sure. It's Republicans who are the problem.
"Stop using our own tactics against us!"
— Panic Chicken (@panicchicken01) October 10, 2025
Democrats and the leftist legacy media, including Weigel, created these new rules, believing that they would be the only ones who would get to play by them.
They're finding out that they couldn't have been more wrong about that.
And, as we all know, it's the 'finding out' part that the left hates the most.
