Two years ago today President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated after a bullet tore through his ear, narrowly missing his head. Sadly, father and firefighter Corey Comperatore lost his life while shielding his family from one of the most shocking acts of political violence in modern American history. The attempted assassination of the president should have shocked the nation into ending political violence once and for all. But instead, left-wing violence has only grown in the past two years.<\/p>\n

In the two years since the first serious assassination attempt against the president, several others have followed. Roughly two months after the attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, Ryan Routh was arrested (and later sentenced to life in prison) for hiding out near Trump\u2019s Florida golf course with a rifle, intent on assassinating then-candidate Trump. Just this past February authorities fatally shot 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin after he trespassed onto Mar-a-Lago armed with a shotgun and a fuel can and refused to comply with law enforcement when ordered to drop his weapon. <\/p>\n

Weeks later, 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen managed to rush past a Secret Service checkpoint while armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. He then headed toward the ballroom at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and other members of the cabinet were attending the White House Correspondents\u2019 Association dinner in April. Allen was ultimately subdued by law enforcement.<\/p>\n

The political violence has sadly not been limited to the president, either. <\/p>\n

Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a left-wing radical while speaking to students at a Utah college campus in September. Then there\u2019s the case of 26-year-old Colin Demarco, who allegedly showed up to the home of Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought wearing a surgical mask and gloves in an alleged attempt to murder him. The man\u00a0reportedly\u00a0said he feared a \u201cfascist takeover\u201d from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

The leftist violence has also targeted our institutions. A 41-year-old man was\u00a0arrested on bomb charges\u00a0in late 2025 after he showed up to a Mass that Supreme Court justices traditionally attend to mark the beginning of the term. This past December four far-left\u00a0extremists\u00a0were arrested for allegedly planning a series of New Year\u2019s Eve bombings and an ambush on ICE officers in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

The left-wing violence against immigration enforcement has continued to escalate this year, with one rioter biting off an ICE agent\u2019s finger in Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge. In May a rioter\u00a0was charged \u201cfor allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers\u201d at a New Jersey illegal immigrant holding center, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X.\u00a0Another individual was\u00a0arrested\u00a0after threatening to murder an immigration officer and his family, Blanche said.<\/p>\n

In addition prosecutors allege that it was a left-wing arsonist who started the deadly Palisades fire. The wildfire caused at least 12 deaths (and potentially\u00a0hundreds\u00a0of others), while\u00a0creating\u00a0billions in damage. Speaking of fires, Pennsylvania Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro\u2019s home was firebombed by a left-wing arsonist who targeted the governor over Palestine, according to police.<\/p>\n

Just as troubling is the left\u2019s normalization of rhetoric that explicitly and implicitly encourages political violence. Democrats in Virginia overwhelmingly elected Jay Jones to serve as the state\u2019s attorney general in November despite messages showing Jones fantasized about murdering his Republican colleagues and their children. Similarly, Democrat Elliot Forhan ran on killing his opponents, promising to \u201clegally\u201d kill Trump if he were elected as Ohio\u2019s attorney general. He was defeated in the May primary.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, a tragic moment that should have marked the apex of political violence in the United States two years ago has today proven to be only the tip of the iceberg in the left\u2019s assassination campaign.<\/p>\n
