Who’s Historically Blind?

To the Editor:

In the Fayette County Record published Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, Mr. Green reacted to the claim “political violence is a tool used by the left” in his argumentative response to Hooper’s letter posted in the Fayette Country Record, Friday, Oct. 17, 2025. He says the claim is “not just wrong but historically blind.”

Mr. Green is the one ‘historically blind.’ Remember Maxine Waters, on the streets in Minneapolis, MN., (April 20, 2021) “We’ve got to get more confrontational. We’ve got to make sure that they know that we mean business.” Remember Kamala Harris in California raised bail for protesters who were committing violence (June 2020). More recently, July 2025, Andrew Solender reported interviews with Democratic representatives on axios.com, “Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough ... [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” a Democratic lawmaker said. “A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “Civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence ... to fight to protect our democracy.”

There are a lot more ‘historical examples’ of what Mr. Green calls ‘rhetorical fiction’ that are not fiction.

According to Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies (a very ‘credible source’), “For anyone who cares to see it, the truth is available in public records in election offices across the nation. But unfortunately, those who expose the truth about voting by aliens—illegal immigrants or not—are subjected to ridicule and an onslaught from the Left to preserve the broken status quo.” Where does the U.S. Constitution give citizen rights to illegal immigrants?

By definition, “Illegal means forbidden by law, unlawful, or contrary to a legal statute. American taxpayers are paying legal fees, medical fees (Medicaid), and housing fees for too many persons who are not citizens of America and who are living here without legal permission.

Mr. Green offers no factual evidence for his arguments.
