Terror Campaign Targets Pro-Trump Republicans; Who’s Next?

To get a sense of the terror operations being waged against Republican legislators at the federal and state level who have had the courage to challenge the vote fraud that occurred in several swing states during the Nov. 3 general election, look at the situation facing Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Republican who has worked with the Schiller Institute and LaRouche organization in exposing vote fraud in that state. Because he participated in yesterday’s pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., state Democratic senator Brian Sims charged in a tweet yesterday that Mastriano “was heavily involved in today’s insurrection in the Nation’s Capitol. After weeks of seditious conspiracies, his actions have grown grossly and predictably dangerous,” ABC27 News reported him as saying.

Sims reported that he was joining with Democratic Sen. Tim Kearney in calling for Mastriano’s resignation. Kearny tweeted that Mastriano had “actively organized a violent insurrection” to prevent a “peaceful transfer of power.” Mastriano’s own statement denounced violence, and said he and others had left the area as soon as violence began.

In recent weeks, liberal media and violence-prone groups such as Antifa have specifically targeted pro-Trump Republican legislators, labeling them “traitors” and promoters of “sedition” and insurrection against the established order [sic] for demanding an investigation of vote fraud. Apparently, the mere mention of the word “vote fraud,” qualifies one as an insurrectionist. The Daily Beast summarized the Big Lie: “Claims of fraud incited the violence.”

On Jan. 4, members of Antifa demonstrated in front of the Washington, D.C. home of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), vandalized his home, and threatened his family, because Hawley planned to challenge Joe Biden’s electors in Pennsylvania at yesterday’s Joint Session of Congress. It’s instructive that in its Jan. 9 issue, the City of London’s rag The Economist also targeted Hawley, describing him as an “insurrectionist” and a “golpista“—like Latin American coup mongers who claimed to “be trying to protect democracy, not overthrow it.” Hawley had the nerve to declare that “millions of voters’ concerns about election integrity deserve to be heard,” The Economist complained.
