In a moment that crystallized the far-Left’s toxic embrace of brutality disguised as “passion,” Texas Democrat State Representative Jolanda Jones appeared on CNN’s OutFront with Erin Burnett on October 22, 2025. While railing against Republicans, Jones rejected Michelle Obama’s disingenuous yet iconic “When they go low, we go high” mantra, opting instead for a visceral display of savagery.
“If they punch me in the face, I’m going across your neck,” Jones declared, slicing her hand dramatically across her throat in an unmistakable slashing gesture. She didn’t stop there, vowing that Democrats must “fight ugly” and “wipe out” every Republican in the upcoming midterms. This wasn’t hyperbole from a fringe activist; it was a sitting legislator, broadcast live on a major network, normalizing throat-slitting imagery against political opponents.
Fact-checkers scrambled to spin it as a mere “metaphor,” but let’s call it what it is: bloodthirsty incitement from a Marxist-progressive who views conservatism as a mortal enemy worthy of decapitation. In an era where assassins target judges and politicians, Jones’s performance wasn’t comedy—it was a dog whistle to the deranged.
This grotesque theater didn’t emerge in a vacuum. It’s the rotten fruit of decades-long cultivation by the Democrat elite, who have peddled violent rhetoric under the guise of “resistance.”
Look no further than Barack Obama, the serpent-tongued architect of modern progressivism. During his 2008 campaign, Obama didn’t whisper sweet nothings about unity; he growled, “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” Spoken at a Philadelphia fundraiser amid whispers of political dirty tricks, this wasn’t tough-guy bravado—it was a blueprint for escalation, framing electoral battles as armed standoffs.
Obama’s words echoed the revolutionary zeal of his Chicago organizing days, where Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals preached power through intimidation. Fast-forward to 2025, and Obama himself warns of “political violence” in speeches mourning figures like Charlie Kirk, yet he never reckons with how his own escalatory language fertilized the ground for today’s assassins. Hypocrisy? No, it’s the hallmark of a movement that deploys violence as verb, then feigns shock when the knives come out.
The rot spreads wider. California Governor Gavin Newsom, that Botoxed beacon of coastal elitism, has mastered the art of demonizing Republicans as existential threats, fueling a rhetoric that borders on calls for upheaval. In June 2025, as protests roiled Los Angeles, Newsom accused Donald Trump of “militarizing cities” and “inciting chaos,” painting conservatives as authoritarian overlords deserving of mass resistance. His blistering addresses frame GOP policies as “assaults on democracy,” urging followers to “fight back” without qualifiers—language that, in the hands of Antifa street warriors, translates to Molotov cocktails and brick-throwing.
Newsom’s defenders claim it’s all “hyperbole,” but when ICE agents face a 1,000% spike in assaults amid his sanctuary-state posturing, the blood on the streets isn’t metaphorical. This is the governor who signed laws shielding violent criminals while decrying “gun violence” as if the weapons pull their own triggers—classic Marxist sleight-of-hand, blaming systems for the savagery of individuals.
Enter Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Instagram socialist whose performative outrage often veers into provocation. AOC’s 2019 screed labeling GOP criticisms as “incitement of violence against women of color” was less a defense than a preemptive strike, equating dissent with assault. By 2023, she was accusing Trump rallies of priming followers for fascism through “inciting violence and hatred against Latinos and Black Americans,” rhetoric that absolves Left-wing agitators while priming her base for retaliation. AOC’s floor speeches, like her 2020 takedown of Rep. Ted Yoho, decry a “culture of accepting violence and violent language,” yet she amplifies it by doxxing critics and cheering “direct action” protests that devolve into riots. Her Squad comrades nod along, turning Congress into a coliseum where words are gladiatorial weapons, and losing means metaphorical (or literal) death.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer embodies this institutional thuggery. In March 2020, outside the Supreme Court, he thundered at Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh: “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” Chief Justice Roberts rightly rebuked it as a threat, but Schumer’s half-apology only emboldened the mob—protesters soon swarmed justices’ homes, harbingers of the 2022 Dobbs assassination attempts. Even in 2025, Schumer’s shutdown brinkmanship and jabs at Republicans as “bastards“ keep the pressure cooker boiling. This is leadership? No, it’s gangsterism, where legislative leverage meets street-level menace.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth the progressive censors dread: this glorification of violence as conflict resolution isn’t confined to ivory-tower ideologues—it’s deeply rooted in the urban Black communities that Democrats claim to champion, a cultural inheritance twisted by decades of failed welfare-state experiments and identity-politics grift.
FBI Uniform Crime Reports paint a stark picture. In 2019 (the last year with comprehensive race data before the National Incident-Based Reporting System transitions), Black Americans, 13% of the population, accounted for 27% of arrests for violent crimes nationwide, rising to over 50% in major urban centers like Chicago and Detroit. Preliminary 2023 data from the Crime Data Explorer shows similar disparities: in cities, Black offenders comprised 51% of homicide arrests, despite comprising 24% of urban populations.
These aren’t anomalies; they’re the harvest of a subculture where “snitching” is betrayal, gangs are family, and Marxist agitators like Jones—herself a Black Marxist-progressive—romanticize “resistance” that starts with threats and ends in body bags. The far-Left imports this ethos into politics, rebranding urban despair as revolutionary fervor, while ignoring how it devours its own.
America stands at the threshold of the abyss, where throat-slashing gestures graduate to acts with real blades at the hands of thugs like Antifa and BLM. We must confront this violence—not as confrontation against “free speech” or “passion,” but as the murderous poison it is.
Democrats! You must reclaim your party from the radical Marxist-progressive Left: expunge the far-Left radicals who equate opposition with violence and extermination. Until reasonable voices purge this cancer, the spiral into the acceptance of violence as conflict resolution and assassination culture—both societal and political—and far-Left-perpetrated political terror will accelerate, turning ballots into battlegrounds and the Great American Experiment into a graveyard.
The choice is clear—evolve or perish in the firestorm you’ve unleashed.

In Closing…
As we wrap up, remember: the Marxist-progressive far-Left’s throat-slashing rhetoric—from Jolanda Jones’s savage gestures to Obama’s knife-to-gun taunts, Newsom’s demonization, AOC’s violence-inciting words, and Schumer’s judicial threats—it isn’t passion; it’s poison.
Rooted in urban violence stats that scream for accountability, not excuses, this Marxist-progressive march glorifies brutality over ballots. Democrats, it’s time: purge the radicals from your ranks or watch your party spiral into assassination’s shadow. Listeners, reject this venom—demand civility, or our Constitutional Republic dies in the murderous whirlwind.
Until next time…
