There is “no coherent principle” to the left’s ongoing “utterly hypocritical” “insurrectionary movement” in Minnesota, argues Daily Signal senior contributor Victor Davis Hanson in his first post-surgery video appearance. Nearly five years ago, these same people lambasted Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed 14-year Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by the U.S. Capitol Police on Jan. 6, 2021. The left cheered as hundreds of demonstrators were arrested for allegedly assaulting officers and carrying firearms.
Video Summary
Victor Davis Hanson, a senior contributor for The Daily Signal, appears in this video following recent surgery to discuss his recovery and political commentary. In his first post-operative appearance, Hanson addresses the ongoing unrest in Minnesota, characterizing it as an insurrectionary movement lacking coherent principles among liberal groups. He contrasts current events with reactions from nearly five years ago regarding Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed Air Force veteran killed at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Hanson notes that while hundreds of demonstrators were arrested for assaulting officers or carrying firearms during that event, some liberals previously supported individuals bringing military-grade weapons to protests. He questions the stance of prominent liberals regarding Minnesota's actions, specifically occupying federal property and attacking federal officers. Hanson argues that these actions prevent the enforcement of federal law, challenging the liberal narrative on states' rights which they often claim opposes such insurrectionary behavior. The video includes segments on his health struggles, the specific incidents in Minnesota, perceived hypocrisy in law enforcement responses, and broader discussions on states' rights versus federal authority.
