Rob Schmitt’s recent montage on his Newsmax program laid out, in rapid-fire fashion, the very rhetoric Democrats have used for years to smear their opponents as “fascists” — a reel meant to expose the stunning double standard at the heart of our national conversation. The clip was crowbarred into a broader segment about the escalating clash between President Trump and liberal lawmakers, and it made a simple argument: the party that screams about fascism most loudly often practices its own brand of coercive political theater.
The highlights weren’t subtle: prominent Democratic voices have repeatedly labeled immigration enforcement, conservative policies, and political opposition with terms like “fascist,” “Gestapo,” and “brown shirts,” language Schmitt assembled to show the disconnect between their words and their actions. Those clips aren’t a fabrication of conservative media; they are public statements and viral social posts that demonstrate how extreme and dehumanizing left-wing rhetoric has become.
What Schmitt’s montage underlines is a broader pattern of hypocrisy: while Democrats lecture the country about authoritarianism, they push policies and campus practices that centralize power, mandate ideological conformity through DEI programs, and tolerate speech codes that punish dissent. This isn’t mere partisan sniping — it’s a cultural takeover dressed up as moral outrage, and it deserves scrutiny from every corner of the country.
There are real consequences when political speech strips its opponents of humanity. Conservative commentators and lawmakers on Schmitt’s show warned that such incendiary labels and chants don’t stay in soundbites; they energize threats and violence and deepen a poisonous cycle of political retaliation that harms ordinary people and public servants. Evidence of escalating threats and celebratory responses to violence has become a new and dangerous normal, and it can’t be dismissed as harmless hyperbole.
This is not a new trick, either — Democrats have a long history of branding political rivals with the worst epithets of the 20th century whenever it suits them, a practice that cries moral high ground while eroding the norms that hold a free society together. Schmitt’s montage was a reminder that the left’s rhetorical arsenal has been weaponized repeatedly, and conservatives are right to call it out for what it is: political theater masquerading as moral urgency.
The response should be principled and unflinching: hold public officials to consistent standards, reject the language of dehumanization, and demand that media and lawmakers stop fanning the flames for short-term gain. Patriots who believe in liberty and the rule of law should treat these moments as a wake-up call to reclaim civic discourse and ensure that accusations of authoritarianism aren’t just partisan cudgels but serious charges reserved for serious offenses.
