The left has become so consumed with hatred for President Trump that they have become the party of angry mobs. Furthering the hatred irrational leftists are being stoked by Democrat leadership. Moreover, what looks to be grass roots protesting is actually financed and organized by far- left billionaire George Soros.
Former Obama Attorney General, Eric Holder, is only one of the latest prominent Democrats to encourage more anger and incivility among unhappy leftists. Speaking last Sunday at a campaign event in Georgia, Holder told the crowd, …”Michelle [Obama] always says ‘when they go low we go high’. No, when they go low, we kick ’em”. Kind of like the infamous refrain of his former boss who, while campaigning for president, told the crowd referring to Republicans, “if they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”
Never one to resist an opportunity to express her disdain for half of the country whom she finds “deplorable”, Hillary Clinton basically said that she agreed with the mob tactics applied by the left to further their agenda. Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour this past Tuesday, Clinton said, ” that’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. Until then, the only thing Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength” . According to Clinton, the harassment and violence on display should be maintained until the left is back in power. In other words, when we silence them we will act like decent people again, until then all bets are off.
These comments are coming on the heels of leftist mob groups harassing high- profile members of the Trump administration along with prominent Republican elected officials. There has always been a level of incivility and harsh discourse in our country between the left and the right. But, in the last two years Democrats have taken their hatred to unprecedented depths.
Rundown of Recent leftist Harassment
In the last few months many top Republicans have found it very difficult to live their lives without being accosted by partisan hatred. This past summer Trump spokesperson Sarah Sanders was refused service at a restaurant by the Never -Trump owner. Also this summer Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was booed and eventually chased out of a Mexican eatery by angry protesters yelling at her. The Republican Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was also screamed at when she and her boyfriend tried to see a movie.
Last week Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was followed through an airport by three women yelling questions and accusations at him in their protest against then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. They were relentless, and followed him until he left the airport and entered his awaiting car.
Maxine Waters, Democrat Congresswoman from California, who is constantly calling for Trump’s impeachment, actually encouraged a crowd of leftists to harass Trump officials whenever they were seen out in public.
Senator Cory Booker (D-NY) speaking to a group of supporters encouraged Democrats to “Get up in the face of Congresspeople”.
During the nomination process of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court the hearings were frequently interrupted by groups of screaming women. Senators were accosted by angry mobs accusing them of not “believing survivors”, because they were not willing to condemn Kavanaugh without due process. Kavanaugh’s wife and daughters received death threats.
Sen. Cory Gardner’s (R-CO) wife received a text of a beheading after her husband voted to confirm Justice Kavanaugh.
Last week three Republican senators, Lindsay Graham, Mike Lee, and Orin hatch, had their home addresses and personal cell phone numbers added to Wikipedia. A former intern of Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Jackson Cosko, is suspected to be the culprit and has been arrested by capitol police.
On the morning of the vote to move the nomination of Kavanaugh forward Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) was verbally accosted by two women, Ana Maria Archila and Maria Gallagher, who blocked him from getting off an elevator. Archila screamed her anger over having someone on the Supreme Court who had been accused of “violating a young girl”, while Gallagher yelled that she was a victim of sexual assault and kept telling Flake to look at her.
The left would like for everyone to believe that these angry screaming mobs are all organic. They are not. Archila is co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy, a group that gets much of its funding from the progressive activist billionaire George Soros. As reported by a former Wall Street Journal reporter Asra Q. Nomani, Archilla’s salary is listed as $156,333 with a bonus of $21,378 according to a recent Internal Revenue Service 990 form. Not a bad salary for spewing venom at those you abhor. Unfortunately these women rejoiced, and took credit for Flake’s insistence on a supplemental FBI probe to investigate the allegations by Christine Blasey- Ford which delayed Kavanugh’s confirmation.
Together again! #ElevatorWomen @anamariaarchil2 and @mgallagher822 joining forces today to demand that Senators (esp. @jeffflake @SenatorCollins @lisamurkowski @JoeManchinWV) listen to women and #CancelKavanaugh! pic.twitter.com/A8mkaH6IPK

Research by Nomani, a self-described “liberal feminist”, found that the 2017 Women’s March, and the anti-Kavanugh protests were largely funded with grants from Soros’ Open Society Foundation. According to Nomani many anti-Kavanaugh disruptors even had their transportation and hotel rooms financed by Soros.
The mainstream media takes offense when the large groups of protesters disrupting, and harassing public officials in their private life are called angry mobs. Of course they do, because they agree with the agenda of the protesters. They don’t even pretend that they’re not on the side of the Anti- Trumpers.
Incredibly, when Kavanaugh was confirmed Jim Acosta tweeted “Can’t you guys win gracefully.” Clearly, he recognized that he overtly stated whose side he was on, and deleted the tweet. But, screenshots are forever.
The left so despises Trump that they have become radicalized by hate. Their philosophy of the the “ends always justify the means” was on full display with their willingness to destroy Justice Kavanaugh’s career and reputation, just to prevent the 5th conservative vote on the Supreme Court. Thankfully we now have a President who doesn’t bow to the pressure of the dirty tactics employed by Democrats.
The silver lining to the left’s attempt to eviscerate Kavanaugh’s reputation, is that it gave Trump the opportunity to stare down their bullying tactics, and come out victorious. It also placed a spotlight on how low Democrats are willing to go in pursuit of their liberal agenda. Their willingness to organize into angry mobs, to harass elected officials, to disregard due process, to hire paid protesters, have appeared to ignite Republicans. Polls indicate that the Democrats lead in Generic Congressional polls is lessening. Hopefully, just like former Majority Leader Harry Reid’s abolishment of the filibuster , which allowed Kavanagh to be confirmed with 51 votes, rather than 60, the unintended consequences of the lefts actions will once again be to the benefit of Republicans. The continued success of Trump’s presidency depends on this.
