10 Major Incidents of Left-Wing Violence and Threats in 2025

2025-12-28

[The Daily Signal] This past year, the Left crossed a Rubicon in normalizing political violence.

The year opened with many on the Left praising a man who allegedly murdered a health care CEO, and it ended with Virginia Democrats overwhelmingly voting for a man who fantasized about shooting his political opponent and wished death on his opponent’s children.

Jay Jones, now Virginia’s attorney general-elect, made the most bloodcurdling endorsement of political violence I have ever seen from an elected official, and he justified it with this sentence: "Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy."

Jones apologized for the remarks, but he remained in the race, and he even shared a stage with none other than former President Barack Obama. I had hoped my fellow Virginians would reject this message in November, but Jones won the election—setting a horrifying precedent for American politics.

Jones’ election victory highlights the negative partisanship in America, and it comes at the end of a truly horrifying year of left-wing violence. Here are 10 incidents of threats or violence aligning with the Left’s attacks on Trump and his party.

1. Targeting ’Nazi’ Pete Hegseth
On Jan. 28, Capitol Police arrested Riley Jane English, 24, after she told officers she was carrying a folding knife and two Molotov cocktails. English traveled to Washington, D.C., intending to kill War Secretary Pete Hegseth, whom she referred to as a "Nazi," or House Speaker Mike Johnson, according to a police affidavit. She also reportedly mentioned wanting to burn down The Heritage Foundation.

This attack followed media reports claiming that Hegseth had a tattoo "associated with white supremacist groups," when the tattoo merely features the Jerusalem Cross. It also followed a year of false claims about Project 2025, a policy project The Heritage Foundation led.

3. New Mexico GOP Vandalized
4. National Jewish Museum
5. Boulder Molotov Cocktail Attack

9. Kirk Assassination
10. Arson Attempt
