‘What A Double Standard’: Former Wisconsin Governor Slams Police Chief For Response To Vandals Burning Pro-Life Clinic

“Apparently,” she said, “the tolerance that the left demands is truly a one-way street. Violence has become their answer to everything. This is what happens when leadership is missing or when leadership implies that violence is ok. In 2020, Governor Tony Evers basically looked the other way when violence erupted in Kenosha and Madison. That kind of non-response fosters what happened to us this morning, leaving Wisconsin citizens who disagree with his policies extremely vulnerable to similar violence.”

Appling hit the governor for his response to the incident, saying that he said “nothing about demanding a full investigation and criminal prosecution.”

“He just told his supporters he’d keep supporting abortion,” she added.

“But this attack fails to frighten us, and instead steels the resolve of law-abiding, common-sense, every-day folks to stand up and push back,” Appling continued. “We know today it is Wisconsin Family Action getting Molotov cocktails tossed through broken windows and fires ignited, but tomorrow it could be anyone in our state or another state who is attacked because we disagree with a policy or action, give voice to the voiceless, or stand up for what’s right.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last week that President Joe Biden’s view “is that there is a lot of passion” asked Thursday if Biden condones the publishing of the Supreme Court justices’ locations.

On Monday, after days of silence, the White House condemned acts of “violence, threats, or vandalism” directed pro-life centers.

“President Biden strongly condemns this attack and political violence of any stripe,” the statement said. “The President has made clear throughout his time in public life that Americans have the fundamental right to express themselves under the Constitution, whatever their point of view. But that expression must be peaceful and free of violence, vandalism, or attempts to intimidate.”

Psaki also tweeted that Biden “strongly believes in the Constitutional right to protest,” but emphasized that “should never include violence, threats, or vandalism.”

Over the weekend, pro-abortion rights activists showed up at the homes of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh.

“Judges perform an incredibly important function in our society, and they must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety,” Psaki said.
