Tuberville\u2019s broader point is that Democrats, more than Republicans, are responsible for normalizing violent language thru comparisons of President Donald trump to figures like \u201chitler\u201d and \u201cfascist,\u201d among other insults.<\/p>\n<p>The article also says other Republicans have criticized Democratic messaging, including House minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries\u2019 call for \u201cmaximum warfare, everywhere, all the time,\u201d and claims that Democrats display violent or threatening symbols outside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fcc-commissioner-blasts-democrats-for-pressuring-providers-to-drop-right-wing-news-orgs-from-cable-chilling-transgression-of-the-free-speech-rights\/\" title=\"FCC Commissioner Blasts ...

Tommy Tuberville of Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolitical violence has become a core pillar of what the Democratic Party stands for,\u201d Tuberville wrote in an opinion piece from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/09\/exclusive-sen-tommy-tuberville-the-democratic-party-deifies-political-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Donald Trump came on the scene more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prager-trip-to-vietnam-reconfirmed-my-hatred-of-communism\/\" title=\"PRAGER: Trip To Vietnam Reconfirmed My Hatred Of Communism\">ten years ago<\/a>, Democrats have lost their minds. An uncomfortably large number of Democrats now think it is okay to murder someone you disagree with politically,\u201d he said, noting that glee over murder erupted \u201clast year when leftists were celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we\u2019ve seen it again and again on display every time a sick assassin gets close to taking out President Trump,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Tuberville cited several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-china-threat-is-real-and-upon-us\/\" title=\"The China Threat is Real and Upon Us\">recent examples<\/a>: \u201cFormer Vice President Kamala Harris called Trump a \u2018fascist.\u2019 Former President Joe Biden repeatedly referred to Trump as a \u2018threat to democracy.\u2019 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called Trump a \u2018rapist.\u2019 Rep. Jasmine Crockett has referred to Trump as a \u2018wannabe Hitler.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Breezing through the descent to such rhetoric that marked President Donald Trump\u2019s first term and the lawfare that marked the Biden era\u2019s attempt to weaponize the Department of Justice, Tuberville took on the argument that political violence is endemic to both sides in modern America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe inconvenient truth for Democrats is that political violence is not a problem on both sides of the aisle. I\u2019m not saying no Republicans have ever committed atrocious acts of violence against Democrats \u2014 but it is far more common on the left,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that attempted assassin Cole Tomas Allen \u201cdoesn\u2019t appear to have been radicalized by some overseas cult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerhaps more disturbingly, he was indoctrinated by mainstream Democrat politicians, CNN, and MSNBC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to stop sugarcoating this and start calling it what it is. Until Democrats start policing the kind of speech cavalierly thrown around about President Trump and Republicans, this violence will continue,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the wake of Charlie Kirk\u2019s murder in September, you heard Democrats on TV briefly talking about \u2018unity.\u2019 But here\u2019s the thing \u2013 you can\u2019t have unity with people who want you dead,\u201d Tuberville continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be no unity and no peace until Democrat leaders like Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, and Gavin Newsom tell their party to stop referring to the President of the United States as \u2018Hitler,\u2019 \u2018fascist,\u2019 \u2018rapist,\u2019 \u2018pedophile,\u2019 and \u2018a threat to democracy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis type of false rhetoric is incredibly dangerous and radicalizes people to the point of violence. It needs to stop now,\u201d Tuberville added.<\/p>\n<p>Tuberville is not the only Republican to call out Democratic rhetoric leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">left-wing violence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called for \u201cmaximum warfare, everywhere, all the time\u201d against Trump, Republicans took him to task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo-called Hakeem Jeffries is a disgrace to the United States Congress,\u201d Rep.
