The time has come to bring down the hammer on them. Not only are these officials inciting insurrection, but some are also inciting violent armed insurrection against federal law enforcement agents. Maxine Waters, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Hakeem Jefferies public statements and behavior should be examined closely, and if they have used inciting language or behavior (i,e. Jefferies and his baseball bat) inciting the insurrections in the streets of America, they need to be held accountable. In my opinion, accountable is being expelled from Congress and facing criminal charges. Tolerating bad behavior only leads to more and worse bad behavior. We see evidence of that on the news every day.
There are other public figures who are passively inciting and fueling the insurrection in the streets of America. By publicly resisting federal authorities enforcing federal law, they are in violation of the United States Constitution and condoning street violence. Governor Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, Mayor Brandon Johnson, and Governor Tim Walz specifically come to mind. The list should include the governors of the other 10 states that are “sanctuary states” and the mayor of every “sanctuary city” across America. It is hammer time, and until we “man up” and put an end to the criminal foolishness, and start protecting Americans from all foreign invaders, the government isn’t meeting its constitutional responsibilities. These public officials who took an oath to carry out the laws of the land, must be held accountable. The lawlessness of the last four years and the insurrection we are experiencing today is a product of excessive tolerance, and the price of ignoring these behaviors is too high.
The right to peaceably assemble is fragile. The moment a peaceful gathering morphs into property destruction or violence against others, the right/privilege to assemble ends. It then becomes a riot, which is not a Constitutional right, and it is incumbent on authorities to assess individual responsibility on the perpetrators of the violence.
