Several instances of political violence, many with victims supporting conservative causes, have occurred since President Biden warned of the threat supporters of former President Trump pose to the country including attacks on anti-abortion activists, political canvassers, and the murder of an 18-year-old in North Dakota.

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” President Biden said during a September 1 speech in Philadelphia that earned widespread criticism from conservatives and even some on the left.
