"No context needed here either. Now the obits will paint him as a victim of “political violence.” But the man himself glorified violence when it came from the right. He cheered Rittenhouse.

He didn’t fear political violence—he marketed it.And here’s the uncomfortable truth: if someone makes it their life’s mission to be a hate-mongering fascist, they shouldn’t be shocked when political violence finds them. Actions, rhetoric, and consequences are not separate islands—they feed each other.
