Simultaneously, however, media and Democrat figures used the raid to project their expectations of a violent reaction onto their political opponents.<\/p>\n<p>The right\u2019s outrage over yet another high-profile example of federal intelligence agencies applying double standards to Democrats\u2019 political opponents was quickly exploited by corrupt actors such as MSNBC to accuse conservatives like YouTuber Steven Crowder of trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/justice-department\/mar-lago-search-users-trump-forums-agitate-civil-war-jan-6-rioter-rcna42148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cagitate for \u2018civil war\u2019\u201d<\/a> with a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/scrowder\/status\/1556830994354905094?s=20&amp;t=KHF24UJz1jobV1HWiDEWMw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweet<\/a> on the night of the raid.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<p>Crowder clearly meant that as a metaphoric war, something his crew explained shortly after MSNBC trashed him on-air and in an article. But that hasn\u2019t stopped the press and Democrats from egging conservatives, shocked at the politicization of the DOJ and FBI, toward violence \u2014 which the former would use like the Jan. 6, 2021, riot to once again punish people on the right far more severely than they punish people on the left for the same infractions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Leftists consistently use allegations of political violence \u2014 whether real fringe violence or the imagined\u00a0\u201cviolence\u201d of free speech \u2014 as an excuse to target their enemies. So it\u2019s no surprise that their focus regarding the FBI\u2019s action is not on the fact that unelected bureaucrats rifled through the Republican Party leader\u2019s personal items for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/08\/09\/fbi-even-searched-melanias-wardrobe-in-trump-raid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">more than nine hours without explaining themselves<\/a>, but that conservatives\u2019 reaction to the abuse of power could include violence.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, leftists and their cronies in the corrupt corporate media are doing their best to provoke that kind of violence with precisely these outrageous tactics, hoping some MAGA hat-wearing conservatives will do something illegal or something that can be framed as illegal in response to the raid so they are eligible for swift and drastic punishment.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the Washington Post published an article on Wednesday claiming that \u201cGOP hysteria over the Mar-a-Lago search is an invitation to violence.\u201d In the article, Dana Milbank, the WaPo opinion columnist infamous for demanding everyone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2022\/07\/06\/democrats-complain-biden-not-bold-newsom-pritzker\/?itid=ap_danamilbank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cgive Biden a break,\u201d<\/a> said \u201cviolent speech\u201d like calling for the disbandment of the \u201ctyrannical FBI\u201d will lead to \u201cviolent acts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that violent speech, particularly when so many are already feeling desperate and on edge, leads to violent acts. We have been here before,\u201d Milbank wrote, but he conveniently left out <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/03\/lets-burn-this-place-down-left-calls-for-violence-after-treasonous-scotus-abortion-leak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">violence and assassination attempts from the left<\/a> and included examples such as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/eScarry\/status\/1557370648577679360?s=20&amp;t=ndSjgxgwHa3Xod2tSl4H4w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this lie about Sarah Palin inspiring an attempted assassination.<\/a> He also ignored that it\u2019s not \u201cviolent speech\u201d provoking people, it\u2019s the FBI\u2019s transparently partisan actions.<\/p>\n<p>Milbank said he \u201cwould like nothing more than to be wrong about this\u201d sweeping allegation, but that\u2019s laughably false considering how corporate media mouthpieces like him have readily profited off of Democrats\u2019 anti-Trump and anti-conservative shenanigans for years.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Jan. 6 Committee\u2019s illegitimate show trials, for instance. The corporate media proudly amplified the partisan committee\u2019s attempts to smear and condemn anyone who associated themselves with Trump and election integrity as insurrectionists. Milbank even wrote several columns about the hearing, one of which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2022\/06\/28\/cassidy-hutchinson-testimony-jan-6-reveals-ugly-truth\/?itid=ap_danamilbank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">elevated<\/a> Cassidy Hutchinson\u2019s suspect testimony.<\/p>\n<p>The J6 show trial <a href=\"https:\/\/jonathanturley.org\/2022\/08\/10\/poll-the-j6-hearings-had-virtually-no-impact-on-changing-the-public-views\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">didn\u2019t change the minds<\/a> of many Americans, but it gave swamp creatures such as Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray the excuses they needed to take down Trump and stop him from running for president again. In the case of Jan. 6, Democrats saw an opportunity to exploit the condemnable actions of a few to incriminate a whole ideology and political party.<\/p>\n<p>The Mar-a-Lago raid is no different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you believe this [raid] is about classified documents, having to do with bullsh-t Trump took with him when he left office, your head is in the sky. This is about Jan. 6 and the never-ending desire to get Donald Trump on something,\u201d Megyn Kelly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/miami_priest\/status\/1557149442893135872?s=20&amp;t=NSFYnkO6jcWsF_fDUm7q2w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> in a recent episode of \u201cThe Megyn Kelly Show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The left loves the American legal system\u2019s double standards that they\u2019ve worked so hard to create and expand. They would love nothing more than people to get so worked up over such blatant corruption that they do something stupid, because that would give Democrats another pretext to take away more of our rights and criminalize political opposition.<\/p>\n<p>There are very legitimate concerns about the FBI\u2019s actions at Mar-a-Lago on Monday night. For instance, why hasn\u2019t the warrant, which was signed by a<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/09\/report-judge-who-signed-off-on-trump-raid-previously-represented-jeffrey-epsteins-pilots-and-secretary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> federal judge<\/a> who once represented convicted pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s employees, been released? What exactly was the FBI looking for when they rummaged through Melania\u2019s closet and Trump\u2019s safe?<\/p>\n<p>Did Garland, who has spent months <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/capitol-siege-donald-trump-government-and-politics-peter-navarro-presidential-elections-0744f3e7819e07a7989895e0caa60e4c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">siccing his Department of Justice on Trump\u2019s advisers<\/a> over the events on Jan. 6, do this as retaliation against the president that <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/09\/conflict-of-interest-much-garland-oversees-raid-on-president-who-denied-him-scotus-seat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruined his chances<\/a> of becoming a Supreme Court justice? Was the White House, which clearly has a vengeance against Trump but <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/09\/in-first-post-raid-briefing-jean-pierres-claims-defy-common-sense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">denies knowing anything about<\/a> their administration\u2019s targeting of him, happy about this raid?<\/p>\n<p>The FBI\u2019s targeting of the former president was unprecedented and certainly hypocritical considering how many other high-level politicians and their families deserve some extra scrutiny but haven\u2019t received it. Much like Wray <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/04\/fbi-director-wray-sets-possible-new-record-for-how-many-times-a-person-can-fail-in-a-3-5-hour-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dodged key questions<\/a> during a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing last week, however, the FBI and DOJ have failed to answer questions or try to justify the raid.<\/p>\n<p>Their silence, along with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/50865802\">flailing credibility<\/a>, has led to public outcry that the nation is turning into a \u201cbanana republic\u201d thanks to the \u201cpoliticized weaponization\u201d of unelected bureaucrats. These are not exaggerations, especially when you consider how both the FBI and the DOJ have been weaponized by Democrats to target their political enemies for years now.<\/p>\n<p>If that fact wasn\u2019t apparent in 2016 when the FBI fabricated warrants to spy on Trump\u2019s campaign and falsely frame him for colluding with Russia to steal the 2016 election, or when parents were targeted for expressing concerns about radical curriculum in schools, it is now. The bureaucracy does not deserve the blind faith of Americans and frankly, <a href=\"https:\/\/conventionofstates.com\/voters-say-federal-bureaucracy-too-big-focused-on-pushing-political-agenda-rather-than-serving-americans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it doesn\u2019t have it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the Jan. 6 Committee deliberately avoided addressing the security failures that allowed a Capitol breach so Democrats could rain fire and brimstone on people who questioned the 2020 election, leftists would love nothing more than the legitimate outrage these partisan federal agencies are provoking to escalate into violence.<\/p>\n<p>As we saw in 2020 with the riots that burned down cities across America, leftists use\u00a0political violence as a tool to advance their agenda. They also regularly use fringe or concocted instances of political violence as an excuse to smear and take down their law-abiding opposition. That\u2019s why they\u2019d love for conservatives to succumb to violence. Because that will give them an excuse to prosecute half of the country for voting for Trump and believing government corruption is a bad thing.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t take the bait. And when Democrats like Milbank and MSNBC contributors breathlessly proclaim words are violence while the FBI and DOJ refuse to prosecute abortion supporters who firebomb pro-life clinics, understand what\u2019s really going on here.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
