Second N.J. Republican council member shot dead just a week after the first

Remember when Chuck Schumer said all that stuff about conservative Supreme Court Justices trying to destroy democracy and deserving to reap the whirlwind and some guy showed up near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house with the attempt to to assassinate him? Remember how the guy who was a big fan of Bernie Sanders opened fire on the congressional baseball game and nearly assassinated GOP Rep. Steve Scalise? Remember how Joe Biden stood up in front of that hellish backdrop and railed about important it is to go to war for the future of this country against evil extreme-ultra-mega-extra MAGA Republicans after people had been beaten in the streets for wearing MAGA hats and before a Republican teen was struck and killed by an angry Democrat?

There’s plenty more where all that came from, but those are some of the most egregious examples of how inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats can be extremely dangerous. And yet, because the violence and would-be violence was directed at conservatives and Republicans, the MSM didn’t devote much time and energy to deeper dives into the incidents or to keeping the stories on the public’s radar.

It’s unfortunate, but we expect that to be the case for this story as well. You may or may not have heard about New Jersey Councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour being shot to death outside her home last week:

“Eunice K. Dwumfour, a 30-year-old councilwoman serving her first term in Sayreville, N.J., was fatally shot on Wednesday night, officials said.” The Republican councilwoman was found in her car after being murdered by a gunman.https://t.co/oBnjfYWgf6 pic.twitter.com/YgKMAEdCHP

More from the Washington Free Beacon:

Milford councilman Russell Heller, who also works as a supervisor at a utility company, was gunned down in a parking lot outside his office on Wednesday by a former employee. Last Wednesday, Sayreville councilwoman Eunice Dwumfour was killed by an unidentified gunman outside her home, in what police called a targeted attack. Heller’s killer was later found dead from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The pair of killings come as Democrats have sought to blame their enemies for fomenting “political violence” against their party members. In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden attributed the brutal assault of Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D., Calif.) husband, Paul Pelosi, to the actions of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Heller was killed less than 15 miles from where Dwumfour was found dead in her SUV with multiple gunshot wounds. Her killer is still at large. New Jersey governor Phil Murphy (D.) attributed both deaths to “gun violence.”
