adminWatching Newt Gingrich tell the hard truth on America Reports should have made every honest American sit up — the left’s 2020 street violence was treated like an inconvenient footnote, while the outrage machine plastered a very different narrative over January 6. Gingrich bluntly reminded viewers that there has been a consistent pattern: when mobs aligned with the left burn and loot, the elite media and the political establishment look the other way.
Gingrich didn’t mince words: he described a continuing “street war” involving groups like Antifa and parts of the BLM movement, and warned that this kind of left-wing violence is a real and growing threat to everyday Americans. He argued that the left is on offense, seeking to control campuses, newsrooms and our streets — and they do it with impunity because the political class asks no hard questions.
Let’s be plain about the facts the media tried to minimize: the summer of 2020 saw widespread riots, arson and looting across hundreds of cities, with insured property damage estimates hitting between $1 billion and $2 billion and thousands of arrests reported. Hardworking small-business owners and ordinary families paid a steep price while politicians offered sympathy to rioters and excuses for chaos.
Contrast that with the federal response to the January 6 breach, where the Department of Justice and federal law enforcement moved aggressively — more than a thousand people charged, widespread prosecutions, and a relentless, nationwide manhunt. The double standard is as plain as day: when the left’s mobs riot, it’s “protest”; when conservatives gather and some cross the line, the full force of the state comes down.
Americans who work, obey the law and pay their taxes are tired of being lectured by elites who excuse violence when it suits their politics and punish it when it doesn’t. Gingrich’s demand that authorities stop the permissiveness and actually enforce the law is what responsible leaders look like — not hand-wringing press releases or performative condemnations from mayors who refuse to crack down.
If we love our country, we will stop tolerating this two-tier justice. Conservatives must push for real accountability, require equal enforcement regardless of political allegiance, and make it politically poisonous to celebrate or excuse mob violence. America’s future depends on restoring order, defending law-abiding citizens, and refusing to let one side’s violence be treated as a political bargaining chip.
