The report discusses a debate on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;news Night,&#8221; where host Sarah Sidner suggested that might be linked to ICE&#8217;s actions, with conservative pundit scott Jennings criticizing this logic as misplaced victim blaming. The article contrasts this incident with January 6, 2021, reflecting on the different responses to political violence and emphasizing concerns about inconsistent condemnations of such acts across the political spectrum.

Police alleged he started it at the entrance of building used not only by ICE, but also the FBI and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/politics\/articles\/fbi-suspect-federal-building-attack-103700375.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Center Square,<\/a> Arrabaca told police he was willing to injure or kill if necessary, being described as an \u201canti-government extremist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That evening, \u201cNews Night\u201d host Sarah Sidner asked conservative pundit Scott Jennings, \u201cIs it possible that it\u2019s the actions of ICE that has people talking like this, not just getting messaging from the Democrats, but seeing what\u2019s happening in their communities?\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">When CNN\u2019s Sara Sidner suggested the anti-ICE attack in New York City may have been a reaction to ICE\u2019s actions, Scott Jennings ended the debate on the spot.<\/p>\n<p>In less than 30 seconds, he exposed exactly how utterly absurd that entire premise is.<\/p>\n<p>SIDNER: \u201cIs it possible that it\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/n6i6Ke5AqI\">pic.twitter.com\/n6i6Ke5AqI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Overton (@overton_news) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/overton_news\/status\/2079398370448138676?\">July 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In other words, Sidner is deflecting blame away from left-wing terrorists who attack federal agents, putting the responsibility on those agents for being attacked.<\/p>\n<p>Call it victim blaming, if you will.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings picked up on this logic, or lack thereof.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, if you believe that a government agency is doing something that you don\u2019t like, and your choices are A, cast a vote, B, use your words, or, C, go set off an incendiary device at the federal building in New York City, and you pick C, there\u2019s no justification for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no rationalization of it, and that\u2019s patently ridiculous if that\u2019s what anybody\u2019s going to argue tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if Jennings or another conservative had asked, \u201cWhat was the government doing before Jan. 6, 2021, to cause President Donald Trump\u2019s supporters to go to the Capitol Building?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The left won\u2019t be applying the same logic.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ceding force to the mob.<\/p>\n<p>Sidner has two options, and they both play out poorly.<\/p>\n<p>Either she\u2019s inconsistent in condemning political violence, meaning she believes \u201cit\u2019s okay when we do it\u201d while condemning anything the right does, or she is consistent.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, we have a problem in what the mob represents in different cases. The firebombing was an attack to cause harm.<\/p>\n<p>Jan. 6 saw Trump\u2019s supporters insistent on delaying certification of the 2020 election by then-Vice President Mike Pence. To be sure, violence erupted, but the mob\u2019s actions were secondary to the cause of the events, not the cause itself.<\/p>\n<p>We do not need to comb over the finer details. We just need to examine Sidner\u2019s logic at face value.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s taking responsibility away from an alleged terrorist.<\/p>\n<p>Why isn\u2019t there bipartisanship in upholding the law? Why isn\u2019t the left insistent on law enforcement being in the right and terrorists in the wrong?<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t want to be hated. If they do their jobs, the Democrats\u2019 voter base will become angry.
