At some point over the past month, we've gone from "Hey, that cop should be held accountable for putting his knee on that other guy's neck" to "ZOMG, DESTROY ALL THE STATUES!" Like many left-wing political movements, what started with an idea that most people generally agreed with has snowballed into an all-out attack on everything they hate about America (see PURGING HISTORY ISN'T 'WOKE,' IT'S STUPID. DANGEROUSLY STUPID... and #DEFUNDTHEPOLICE? HERE'S THE HORRIFYING WAY SCUMBAGS ARE PROTESTING COPS). Which is pretty much ... America. At this point, they'd tear down a statue of Barack Obama because he wasn't wokeAF enough. The question on many Americans' minds is, why do these criminals get away with these criminal acts? Tucker Carlson has a few ideas.

Teddy Roosevelt was a hero to millions of Americans. He still is. That's precisely why they're tearing down his statue. They know that if they can force you to watch as they topple your heroes, they have won. There is nothing they can't do next. ...

Donald Trump isn't planning on imminently sending federal assets to reclaim the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle, Wash., despite repeatedly threatening to do so, he told the Daily Caller in an exclusive Oval Office interview …

In recent days, Trump has urged Washington Gov. Jay Inslee to deploy National Guard troops to retake CHAZ and said that he himself "will take care of it" if Inslee fails to act. The president said Monday that he had discussed the situation with Attorney General Bill Barr. When asked by the Caller what Barr is "advising" him to do, POTUS answered, "Right now, I think it's great sitting back and watching this catastrophe."

There's one theory that this is all just violence and vandalism in liberal cities, that the liberal politicians running them will be held responsible, and that Donald Trump is doing the right thing by doing nothing besides tweeting about it. There's some logic there. Plus I'm a big proponent of people logging off of Twitter, shutting off cable news, and getting out of your echo chambers once in a while.

Here's the rub with that, though: It's already out of the liberal cities. Leftists are attacking restaurants that say nice things about police officers. People are getting doxxed for saying the three most hateful words in existence: all lives matter. Leftists are emboldened to attack anyone who has a different from them about anything ever because they know they will never be held accountable for it by our leaders or in the media.

Someone needs to do something. I thought that was why people elected someone like Donald Trump in the first place. We elect our leaders. Our leaders need to lead. Period.
