America is waking up to an uncomfortable truth Newt Gingrich laid bare on Fox: we are in a cultural civil war, and that language isn’t hyperbole but a description of a nation under asymmetric assault from radical left-wing elements. Gingrich told “America Reports” that this isn’t merely political disagreement but a coordinated movement pushing violence, censorship, and financial warfare against conservatives and traditional institutions.
The escalation has been real and violent: the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and a shooting at an ICE facility have shocked the country and confirmed what many grassroots Americans have feared for years — that leftist mobs and extremist cells are now attacking political opponents in the open. These incidents have prompted urgent questions about who is organizing, funding, and enabling such chaos, and why elite institutions reflexively excuse or minimize it.
President Trump responded as any commander-in-chief should — by directing federal agencies to identify and dismantle networks that fund and facilitate organized political violence, even calling out major donors he believes are bankrolling the unrest. The memorandum and subsequent actions expand the tools available to the FBI, Treasury, and Justice Department to go after the money and the planners who treat our streets like a battlefield. Conservatives who prioritize law, order, and national survival applaud an administration finally willing to follow the money and hold perpetrators accountable.
Gingrich made clear that this is not partisan grandstanding but a fight for the republic, urging Republicans to stop cowering and match the left’s intensity with conviction and enforcement. He warned that failure to push back would let the radicals drag the country into permanent disorder, undermining families, jobs, and the rule of law that secure our freedom. Those who sneer at the idea of a cultural civil war are the same ones who have sat silently while campuses, newsrooms, and streets were ceded to radical ideology.
Yes, the left will scream “authoritarian” and the media will frame enforcement as political persecution — that was predictable. But hardworking Americans know the difference between defending the peace and appeasing violence; we know that when lawlessness grows, liberty dies. If Republicans want to be more than a discredited talk show, now is the time to back decisive action: prosecute the criminals, freeze the funding, and restore order so every American can live without fear of being targeted for their beliefs.
