“The Federalist” editor Mollie Hemingway reacts to statistics on political violence after a weekend of “No King’s Day” protests across the nation.

KAYLEIGH MCENANCY, FOX NEWS: Amy Klobuchar pointed out the instances of political violence have gone from 1,000 in 2016 to 9,000 threats against elected officials. Horrific to see. I do want to point this out I think we’ve got a call spades when we see them. And to have a media that 211 times calls the riots peaceful and CNN was responsible for 123 of those, MSNBC 88. To call them peaceful when there are literally law enforcement officers who were harmed during them. It’s not just a media malpractice. It’s a dereliction of duty to give inaccurate information. MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, FOX NEWS: It’s important that people understand what’s going on that these riots are organized, that they are Intended to be nationwide, and they’re intended to go after the rule of law. You know you have people saying they want to not enforce border protections and security, and you see so much about how these riots are going very similar to how the BLM riots went in 2020. And I noticed you talked about what was happening in Portland with the ICE facility. It’s worth remembering that those same people sieged a federal courthouse in Portland for months in the summer of 2020. And Americans are really sick and tired of seeing this kind of violence go unchecked. Political violence can happen from any any place. But there really is a problem on the left with sustained political violence like going back for decades. And it needs to be honestly reported, and unfortunately, it’s not.
