Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[April 27, 2026]

Political violence is not a both sides issue.

No one is buying that anymore.

This is a problem uniquely on the Left.

Mainstream media pundits & elected Democrats are spewing rhetoric demonizing Republicans & seemingly ordinary people are starting to see violence as rational form of action.

[….]

Some of the responses:

The Show me State did poorly with this person getting elected to the Senate.

I am not buying what you are selling.

The data says different. [….]

You do realize we have half a century of data detailing violent political crimes…
And that data says you are wrong.

Except data proves that a majority comes from the right.

State your sources, eliminate your opinions, then you can have a discussion with the voters. That is how this works. Facts matter.

You know we can actually see with our eyes and hear with our ears right?

The delusion is strong in this one

I’ll tell Melissa Hortman

Could we get secure ballrooms in public schools and universities then??? Our children need the most protection!
$400 million could fund the protection of our children!!!

Tell me you haven’t read Trump’s truth social posts, without actually telling me you haven’t read Trump’s truth social posts.

Source: trust me, bro… 😂🤡

We know better. 1/6

Not sure if you are aware who our President is, but please check out some of the things he has said and then get back to me.

The leader of the country regularly targets anyone who opposes him and calls them an enemy of the state. He’s called for violence against democrats numerous times. If you want the rhetoric to stop, the POTUS needs to lead the way. Acting like this is a one sided issue is only making it worse. Stop playing victim. It’s getting old.

You look calm and reassuring…

You couldn’t tell the truth if you had to.

What. It’s an overwhelmingly right wing issue and you know it.

Uh oh, you are really not going to like what the actual data says.
According to the FBI & DHS threat assessments, the primary source of domestic extremist violence in the U.S. for years has been right-wing extremism, particularly white supremacist actors. That’s not spin. That’s their own reporting.
We’re talking roughly 70–80% of politically motivated violence tied to that side depending on the year and dataset. So this “uniquely on the Left” narrative? Not supported by the numbers.
You can dislike that reality all you want. Still doesn’t make it less true.

The data says the opposite.

Interesting how literally all factual information on the topic demonstrates you are wrong…

Maybe the good Senator should hang the 10 Commandments up in his office:
The 9th establishes a moral duty to truthfulness.

Don’t let facts get in the way of your propaganda

Repeating a lie doesn’t make it true.

You’ve got to be joking. Political violence is a “both sides” issue in as much as it has happened on both sides. But if you want to blame one side in particular, statistics show overwhelmingly that the right is the more violent side.

This is a load of crap.

As a senator , how does it feel when you post things and people just laugh at how stupid you sound do you feel like you’re going to be reelected?

Propaganda, lies and gibberish on MAGA scale

Oh FFS!!! Are you for real???

You’re delusional

Good gosh. I think you actually believe yourself. Well, that’s one.

Look at your president’s rhetoric not to mention January 6. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. You’re an idiot.

Gaslight much?

Propagandist Schmitt, your boss called for the murder of Liz Cheney, called for a riot on Jan 6, and rage tweets every single night while normal people are sleeping.
