But imagine what the reaction would be if former President Donald Trump had said those words and the foiled murder had targeted a liberal justice. The mainstream press would be screaming for Trump to be jailed, and pundits would be attacking Republicans who had not condemned the words that had supposedly led to threats of violence.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that\u2019s not what happened in this case. And the Kavanaugh murder plot will likely be quickly forgotten in much the same way the press buried the story of an armed Bernie Sanders supporter attempting to murder Republican congressmen at a softball practice in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not as if the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> are shy about trying to connect rhetoric and violence. We\u2019ve heard a great deal about how Trump\u2019s words and tweets incited violence from the far right. It didn\u2019t matter that the disturbed extremist who murdered 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018 had actually condemned Trump in his online rants. Most in the liberal press and political establishment still blamed Trump. The same people have blamed conservatives after other mass shootings, such as the tragic murder of 11 African Americans in Buffalo last month.<\/p>\n<p>These unfair accusations are more than anything else a function of the hyper-partisanship that has led many Americans to lose the capacity to ascribe good motives to their political foes. But it\u2019s true that the breakdown of civil discourse can lead to more than toxic Twitter feeds.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/chuck-schumer-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gave a speech in 2020 where he warned Kavanaugh that he will &quot;pay the price.&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-22602528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/chuck-schumer-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/chuck-schumer-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/chuck-schumer-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer gave a speech in 2020 where he warned Kavanaugh that he will \u201cpay the price.\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kavanaugh and other Supreme Court conservatives have been under siege since the leak of a draft opinion that may soon overturn Roe v. Wade. Enraged activists have protested in front of the court. And despite a federal law that outlaws attempts to intimidate judges by demonstrating in front of their homes, that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s been happening \u2014 with Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Merrick Garland refusing to do anything about it. Indeed, the day after Roske\u2019s arrest, protesters were back outside the Kavanaugh home.<\/p>\n<p>Though the White House is condemning the incident, it wasn\u2019t long ago that it was encouraging the harassment of justices by pro-abortion mobs. \u201cI know that there\u2019s an outrage right now, I guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date. And we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judges\u2019 homes, and that\u2019s the president\u2019s position,\u201d Press Secretary Jen Psaki said May 10. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/kavanaugh-house-2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Roske said he was angered by the Supreme Court potentially overturning Roe v.

Democrats who encouraged the \u201cmostly peaceful\u201d yet deadly and destructive Black Lives Matter riots in 2020 \u2014 or, like Vice President Kamala Harris, helped bail out the rioters \u2014 were never held accountable.<\/p>\n<p>If only Republicans are accused of fomenting mayhem with their rhetoric while Democrats are excused for violent words that actually <em>do <\/em>lead to violence, it creates a double standard that undermines any belief in a common stake in maintaining civil discourse. <\/p>\n<p>Liberals may think the awfulness of their opponents justifies their hypocrisy. But this contempt for political opponents that is interpreted by a deranged few as a license to kill is an integral part of the moral rot eating away at American democracy. We ignore the danger of giving Schumer a pass for the way he has helped lead public debate into the sewer at our peril.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jonathan S.
