James O'Keefe's Project Veritas Action has caught Tennessee Democratic candidate Phil Bredesen's campaign staffers admitting on tape that the supposedly moderate politician is actually pulling a political ruse over Tennessee voters by claiming to support President Trump's agenda as well as lying about his would-be vote for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had he been in senate.
In a roughly 10 minutes long video released on Wednesday night, undercover operatives for James O'Keefe recorded a Bredesen campaign field organizer by the name of Will Stewart calling the people of Tenessee "ignorant" and claiming his candidate only announced support for Brett Kavanaugh because it would be politically expedient.
"So he'll lose voters if he says yes [to not confirming Kavanaugh?]" the undercover journalist asks.
"Oh, straight up, yeah," Stewart responds.
"Are the people of Tennessee that ignorant?" the PV mole asks in reply.
"Yeah," Stewart says.
Then, at one point in the video, the journalist expresses her confusion as to whether or not Bredesen would actually vote for Kavanaugh. "He wouldn't. But he's saying he would... Which I don't know if it makes it worse or better," Stewart answers before finally saying that this lie actually "makes it better."
Another staffer, Maria Amalla, adds "...it's a political move... He thinks that like we're down like half a point right now. It's like really close and we're losing by a point or two. So he thinks that if like by saying this he's appealing to more moderate republicans and he'll get more of them to vote for us."
Amalla seems to disagree with this political choice saying, "I guess we won't know until November 6th if this was worth it.
Just over a year ago, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., returned to Congress after being shot by a crazed gunman during a congressional Republican baseball practice. His ordeal marked a low in our nation's political discourse - one that blew past hostile rhetoric into outright violence.
On Sunday former Attorney General Eric Holder doubled down on what has become the left's new normal. Speaking at a campaign event in Georgia, he said of Republicans: "When they go low, we kick 'em. That's what this new Democratic Party is about."
Holder's audience, unfortunately, was receptive, chanting "fight" instead of challenging him on his damaging rhetoric.
On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton said in a CNN interview that "you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about." Speaking as a bitter and sore loser, she said a prerequisite to civility would be Democrats winning back majorities in Congress this year.
Time and again, those on the left have shown the American people that they do not intend to reverse course and close the ever-widening divide between Americans. Their hatred for President Trump has caused them to dig in their heels, dehumanize Republicans and encourage harassment against those who disagree with them. In doing so, they have brought about the death of civility.
The people who were shot on that baseball field in 2017 witnessed this firsthand. So did Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who was assaulted from behind last November by a neighbor who broke his ribs and damaged his lungs.
Senseless acts like these will likely continue, which makes it more important than ever for Democrats to forcefully condemn the culture their own rhetoric has created.
Instead, the top ranks of the Democratic Party continue to sow division.
In June, Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., told supporters to harass Trump administration officials and "tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."
In July, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. - presumably a future presidential candidate -encouraged activists to "get up in the face of some congresspeople."
This summer, California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters called on her supporters to harass cabinet officials. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that you "cannot be civil" with members of the Republican Party. And Wednesday, videotape was released of former Attorney General Eric Holder telling a Democratic audience at a campaign rally in Georgia on Sunday that they should "kick" Republicans when they perceive them as "going low."
Despite the continued reports of politically motivated threats or violence, Democratic Party leaders have worked to keep this anger burning and incite even more harassment and violence.
Beginning with my own near-death experience at the hands of a deranged shooter who sought to assassinate a baseball field of Republicans, there is a growing list of violent or threatening actions taken against conservatives by Democrats.
Ashley Kavanaugh, Justice Brett Kavanaugh's wife and his daughters received multiple credible threats.
Dana Loesch, NRA spokeswoman, received death threats against her children on Twitter.
Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., received such a threatening phone call that the man has now been indicted.
Jamie Gardner, wife of Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., wife, received a text of a beheading after the vote to confirm Justice Kavanaugh.
Several Republican Senators had their personal information, including home addresses, posted to Wikipedia for threatening purposes by a Democrat House staffer.
Congressman Clay Higgins (R-La.) received threatening phone calls that led to a man's arrest.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kent., and his wife Kelly Paul have both received credible threats that have led to arrests.
