In the wake of the second assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in just two months, Democrats have been almost unanimous in claiming there’s no room for political violence in America.

She boasts on her website that in that position she works “to ensure Democratic members of this Subcommittee focus on evidence-based inquiries and not wild conspiracy theories.”
She states, “The Republican’s (sic) attempt to derail the federal government’s obligation to investigate and conduct due process on actions, organizations, and individuals that threaten our republic and create an anti-democratic environment will be met with strong resistance by Ms. Plaskett and her Democratic colleagues on the subcommittee.”
She also was an impeachment manager for one of ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s failed impeach-and-remove campaigns against Trump.
That wasn’t the only threat to Trump, either.
