Sen. Raphael Warnock’s latest outburst on MSNBC’s All In is a masterclass in political projection, claiming that President Donald Trump has unleashed evil on our streets. Spoken on Tuesday amid a backdrop of urban chaos that predates any Trump presidency, Warnock’s rhetoric reeks of the same fearmongering that anti-2A politicians have peddled for decades. Remember, this is the same senator who once preached that gun violence is a public health epidemic while ignoring how his party’s soft-on-crime policies in cities like Atlanta have turned neighborhoods into war zones. Crime stats don’t lie: FBI data shows violent crime spiking under Biden-Harris, with murders up 30% in 2020 alone during the riots Warnock’s crowd cheered as mostly peaceful. Trump’s unleashing evil? More like Democrats unleashing defund-the-police insanity.
For the 2A community, this is red meat—and a warning shot. Warnock’s words aren’t just hyperbole; they’re a trial balloon for the post-election narrative if Kamala Harris loses. Expect Dems to pivot hard from their failed crime policies to blaming Trump and his gun-owning supporters for every shooting, every carjacking, every smash-and-grab. It’s the same playbook: deflect from sanctuary cities harboring felons and failing to prosecute, then demonize law-abiding citizens exercising their Second Amendment rights. We’ve seen it before—post-Parkland hysteria led to red-flag laws and bump stock bans, all while criminals roam free. The implication? A Harris-Warnock axis would double down on disarming the good guys, leaving streets to the actual evil they’ve empowered.
2A patriots, this is our call to action: Arm up, vote hard, and call out the hypocrisy. Trump’s record proves he backs the right to self-defense—look at his support for concealed carry reciprocity and hearing protection reciprocity. Warnock’s evil is the disarmed sheepfold awaiting the wolves his party protects. Stay vigilant; the streets aren’t evil because of Trump, but because politicians like Warnock refuse to let you defend them.
