Rubio Confronts an Epidemic of Left-Wing Violence and Extortion

Democratic Representative Adam Smith ended up voting with 103 of his fellow Democrats for a failed measure designed to zero out U.S. aid to Israel. But he wants you to know that he did so under extreme duress.

In a statement explaining what was “a very close vote for me,” Smith revealed that the “tactics used by those on the far left” to push him into the position he ultimately took amounted to a menacing intimidation campaign. His home has been “vandalized.” A “fire has been set” in his driveway. Demonstrators harassed him and his neighbors in all-night demonstrations. His town halls have been “shut down.” One of his staff members was “physically assaulted.”
