Newsmax actually brought on Jack Posobiec to complain about threats against the president in a May 24 TV appearance:
Turning Point USA contributor and former Navy intelligence officer Jack Posobiec said Sunday on Newsmax that rhetoric from the left against President Donald Trump is fueling what he called a growing “assassination culture.”
Appearing on “Sunday Agenda,” Posobiec pointed to online posts allegedly connected to the suspect involved in a shooting incident near the White House perimeter on Saturday.
“Unfortunately, what we see going on is a rise in this assassination culture,” Posobiec said. “Individuals were able to go on this guy’s TikTok account last night and find that he had been posting about Thomas Matthew Crooks and the Butler shooting of President Trump, mocking him – the shooter in that case – for missing the shot, saying he would have done better.”
Posobiec connected Saturday’s incident to what he described as increasing political violence from the far left.
“And so we see the rise of these far-left-wing attacks, this far-left-wing violence,” he said. “Whether or not this was an individual who had mental issues, what it does is it gives people like this a target.”
“When you see them going up on TV every night saying, President Trump is a Nazi, President Trump is a fascist, all of these things, what it does is create a system and a permission structure again and again for more of these miscreants to commit attacks like this,” Posobiec added. “Unfortunately, we are going to see more because the left is becoming more and more violent every day.”
Unmentioned during the segment: Posobiec has his own history of issuing threats against the president. As we’ve documented, Posobiec tweeted the message 86 46″ — which, by the right’s definition as applied in the prosecution of James Comey, means he wants to see President Biden dead. As far as we know, Posobiec has never explained his message, let alone apologized for it or faced charges over it.
Thus, Posobiec’s fearmongering over alleged liberal violence is utterly hypocritical, given that he has engaged in similar threatening behavior.
