No, the encouragement of incivility and violence in politics is NOT “on both sides of the aisle”.
Some despicable acts of violence and inciting to violence, including 48 of them which happened in October 2018, are listed below. Every decent American should condemn such. Failure to condemn violence is to condone violence.
In all of these acts, we don’t know of a single one in which a Democrat leader has spoken up to condemn that barbarous action and to admonish followers to be civil and law-abiding. Sadly, the opposite is sometimes true; the act is condoned as a means to an end.
Very little of the politically motivated violence that has been perpetrated in the U.S. comes from the Republican right. And in those very rare instances, Republican leaders immediately condemn it and ask that the perpetrators be arrested and punished.
We ask all of you to condemn all acts of violence and inciting to violence. We condemn all of them in no uncertain terms, no matter which side is guilty. And we ask the media to condemn them. And we ask those in power to condemn their followers if their followers are guilty of such despicable behavior.
A list of 100 violent acts, documented by video, can be found here . All were perpetrated by leftists who hate Republicans. It is abhorrent how vicious and hateful some of the confrontations are over a disagreement with political goals.

The fact is, the vast majority of political violence that occurs in the U.S. is perpetrated by radical progressive Democrats, with the tacit approval of their leadership.
Tuesday we go to the polls and elect a congress. Please make a wise choice which will promote “peace and tranquility” in America for the next two years.
