Scott Jennings, a CNN analyst and former Republican congressman, claimed this week that the left possesses violence in their hearts. His statement followed widespread criticism directed at former FBI director James Comey for an Instagram post featuring seashells that many interpreted as a call for violence against President Trump. Jennings referenced a New York Post article that discussed how the number 8647 has been used at various anti-Trump protests. This controversy sparked debate about political violence, with others pointing out similar incidents from the right, including the January 6 Capitol riots.
Jennings shared an article from the New York Post, in which writer Karol Markowicz noted that the numbers are being used in a specific way at a variety of anti-Trump events.
The article goes through other recent examples, including left-wing support for accused assassin Luigi Mangione, widespread vandalism and violence directed at Elon Musk and Tesla.
His replies were filled with those pointing out violence on the right, with January 6 featuring prominently.
In the past, even hinting at soliciting or condoning violence by a public figure would widespread condemnation, particularly among those in the media.
