Gary Bauer: Deadly Rhetoric | The Patriot Post

Just three days before Saturday’s tragic incident, Mayor Jacob Frey was asked about federal immigration enforcement in his city. He said:
 
“In Minneapolis, we will not cooperate with [federal immigration police] or any federal agency around immigration enforcement work, we will not. And there’s a good reason, by the way, that we won’t, and it’s not just the moral imperative here, it’s also the fact that I want our police officers focusing on safety.”
 
So, Mayor Frey thinks there is a “moral imperative” to not cooperate with federal law enforcement. That’s insane, not to mention illegal in many cases. Just imagine the reaction if any elected Republican said there was a “moral imperative” to not cooperate with federal environmental laws, federal gun laws, or federal tax laws.
 
Worse, Frey’s “moral imperative” is making his city unsafe! Because police won’t assist in crowd control, leftist revolutionaries feel free to confront and obstruct federal immigration police, leading to these unnecessary tragedies.
 
Not to be outdone, Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes claimed that federal immigration police are not “real law enforcement.” She also seemingly encouraged Arizona residents to shoot federal immigration police under the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law.
 
That’s beyond irresponsible! It’s disgusting and it’s reprehensible! That kind of rhetoric will get people killed.
 
There are calls for Mayes to resign. Good luck with that. Radical leftists never resign when they get in trouble. Just ponder that sentence for a while.
 
In Virginia, we just swore in a Democrat attorney general who fantasized about the murders of his political opponents’ children. This is the alternative to the Republican Party, and this is who they elect as top law enforcement officials. Is there any doubt that our civil liberties will be in jeopardy if they get power again?
