I’m not saying there aren’t a few idiots out there, but the right’s condemnation of the riots at the Capitol has been near-universal.

It’s not “whataboutism” to point out many on the left did not condemn summer’s riots. It’s a critical piece of understanding our route forward.

We’re not talking a few Twitter jockeys either: the future VP donated to bail out arrested rioters and the President-elect called “Antifa” an idea on the debate stage after night after night of violence in Portland.

The message from their behavior is very clear: left-wing violence works and will be supported or ignored by the highest levels of government, along with, of course, the press.

THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO THIS.

It’s time for everyone who wants to avoid those consequences to do some very serious self-examination. Because otherwise, things will only get worse.
