BREAKING NEWS:

Late last night, this happened in Washington:

A violent mob of pro-Hamas protesters demanding an immediate ceasefire in Israel swarmed the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at 430 South Capitol Street SE, forcing the evacuation of workers and officials who were inside.

Rep. Brad Sherman of California, who is Jewish and has been a vocal supporter of Israel, was inside the building and had to be rescued. He pulled no punches, correctly calling the demonstrators “pro-terrorist.”

There were reportedly broader threats from these seething antisemites and all House of Representative offices were reportedly locked down to protect those inside.

We should take no pleasure in seeing politicians fleeing for their lives from violent throngs of maniacs. That, of course, should never happen. I am heartened that Sherman and others are safe.

But Democrats must realize that they are reaping what they sowed.

For years, Democrats have welcomed Marxists and anarchists in their ranks and have embraced policies that are absolutely antagonistic toward religion. They’ve pushed for open borders, rolled out the red carpet for refugees without vetting them, formed lawless sanctuary cities and have screamed about defunding the police. They’ve coddled criminals, made it harder to get miscreants off the streets and lobbied to legalize drugs and prostitution. They mock family values and worry about pronouns more than terrorism.

The left’s enthusiasm for abortion up until the moment of birth has given birth to numb Americans with no respect for life, who can learn about dead babies and abducted children and smirk as they rip down posters bearing the faces of kidnapped Israelis.

Suddenly, some on the left seem shocked that they’ve incubated a generation of mindless but over-educated antisemites who are linking arms with a barbaric, medieval cult bent on killing Jews.

It’s no exaggeration to say that we are now in a battle for the survival of Western civilization. If we want to preserve what has made our country special we need to close the border, begin mass deportations of those here illegally, crack down on crime and respect parents who don’t want to co-parent with the government.

Every time I see another demonstration of pro-terrorist students waving Palestinian flags and chanting “From the river to the sea…” I fear the battle is already lost.

Good question, Rep. Issa. Find out and deport them.
