Democrats are facing problems this year as they are polling terribly against GOP challengers and at the same time have seen depressed enthusiasm from their core voters.
Party leaders, hoping to channel rage to political benefit, have been slow to condemn extremism as word was released that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade.
But Democrats’ failure to rein in extremists led far-left Antifa to carry out this shocking terrorist attack.
The attack came just days after the Supreme Court leaked a document that revealed Roe v. Wade may be overturned.
Lila Rose, author and pro-life movement leader, reported, “Antifa pro-abort men are attacking and putting out hits on pregnancy centers in Portland, OR. Because it drives pro-abort men to violent rage to think that women will have support to choose life.”

In the wake of the leak, the news has enraged the Left from coast to coast.
Left-wing agitators are also directing protesters to confront conservative Supreme Court Justices at their homes in Maryland and Virginia.
Breitbart reports, “Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch are all targets by an organization called, ‘Ruth Sent Us.’ The organization has published the justices’ supposed home addresses online for the radical protestors to locate.
Ruth seems to be a reference to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was an ardent defender of the right to abortion.
But this group’s use of her name is ironic, because Ginsburg was very collegial with her conservatives colleagues, including her best friend, Justice Antonin Scalia, and because Ginsburg criticized Roe as a bad decision, despite agreeing with its conclusion.”
Leftist organizations have employed similar intimidation tactics in recent months.
Last September, protesters picketed outside Kavanaugh’s home to express angst against pro-life laws and in January, similar protests were organized outside Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) home in Virginia.
Other protests took place at churches in Washington, D.C. on Mother’s Day.
The far-left may think that mobilizing the radicals to riot in the streets may help to close the enthusiasm gap evident in recent polling, but they would do well to remember that cries of “Defund the police” and other lunacy were shown to have cost the Democrats seats in the House in 2020.
If the far-left is enraged, everyone else is repulsed – by them.
And the Silent Majority is about to make their voices heard in November.
