Assassin Pleads GUILTY – Mainstream Media SILENT

A leftist activist from California will admit he tried to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh because the justice might protect gun rights and overturn Roe v. Wade – but our mainstream media barely blinked when it happened.

At a Glance

• Nicholas Roske, 26, is set to plead guilty to attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh after traveling from California to Maryland with weapons in June 2022
• Roske was motivated by the leaked Roe v. Wade draft decision and feared Kavanaugh would vote to loosen gun control laws
• He arrived at Kavanaugh’s home armed with a gun, knife, zip ties, and tactical gear but called 911 on himself before carrying out the attack
• The mainstream media largely downplayed this assassination attempt on a conservative justice, revealing their blatant double standard
• Roske faces potential life imprisonment, a $250,000 fine, and lifetime supervised release for his politically-motivated assassination attempt

Another Leftist Radical Turns to Violence When Democracy Doesn’t Go Their Way

The story of Nicholas Roske is a case study in progressive radicalization and the left’s growing comfort with political violence. This 26-year-old Simi Valley resident will soon plead guilty to attempted murder after traveling across the country with a loaded gun, knife, and zip ties to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his Maryland home in June 2022. Roske’s attorneys confirmed his intention to plead guilty in a letter to the judge, writing: “We write to inform the Court that Mr. Roske wishes to plead guilty to the one-count indictment pending against him.”

What prompted this California man to pack up weapons and tactical gear and travel 3,000 miles to kill a Supreme Court Justice? Nothing more than the usual leftist grievances – he was upset about the leaked draft decision that would overturn Roe v. Wade and feared Kavanaugh might protect Second Amendment rights in a forthcoming decision. In other words, he couldn’t tolerate democratic processes and judicial independence when they might produce outcomes he disliked.

The Left’s Dangerous Rhetoric Has Consequences

Remember when Senator Chuck Schumer stood on the Supreme Court steps and threatened Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch by name, saying “you will pay the price” and “you won’t know what hit you”? Pepperidge Farm remembers – and apparently so did Nicholas Roske. This assassination attempt didn’t happen in a vacuum. For years, Democrats and their media allies have painted conservative justices as existential threats to democracy, dehumanized them as “extremists,” and suggested the Court’s legitimacy was in question if it didn’t rule their way.

Roske told police that he believed killing a justice would change the Court’s decisions “for decades.” 

He came dressed in black, armed to the teeth, ready to break into Kavanaugh’s home where the Justice’s wife and children slept. The only reason this California leftist didn’t succeed was because he called his sister, who convinced him to call 911 on himself. When police arrived, they found a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a knife, tactical gear, and zip ties – the same restraints used by kidnappers and home invaders.

Media Hypocrisy on Full Display

Notice the stark difference in media coverage between an attempted assassination of a conservative justice and literally any threat against a liberal politician. When Paul Pelosi was attacked by a homeless nudist conspiracy theorist, it dominated news cycles for weeks. When an unhinged gunman targeted Republican congressmen at a baseball practice in 2017, wounding Steve Scalise, the story disappeared within days. And when this California radical tried to kill Justice Kavanaugh? Most Americans probably don’t even remember it happened.

 Had Roske succeeded in his mission to “make the world a better place” by murdering a Supreme Court Justice, we’d be looking at a constitutional crisis of unprecedented proportions. But since the target was a Trump appointee who believes in actually reading the Constitution before interpreting it, the establishment media collectively yawned. CNN gave it a fraction of the coverage they devoted to January 6th, and The New York Times buried it below stories about climate change. The message is clear: political violence is only newsworthy when it serves the narrative.

The Real Threat to Our Democracy

Roske’s case perfectly illustrates the dangerous endpoint of progressive rhetoric. When you tell your supporters that conservative justices are illegitimate, that they’re stripping away “fundamental rights,” and that democracy itself is at stake, don’t act surprised when someone decides to take matters into their own hands. Roske admitted to police he had “suicidal thoughts” and intended “to act on them” by killing Justice Kavanaugh. This isn’t just a mental health issue; it’s politically motivated extremism cultivated by years of irresponsible rhetoric from Democratic leaders.

And let’s be crystal clear about what would have happened if a conservative had traveled across the country to assassinate Justice Sotomayor over one of her rulings. Every Republican in America would be forced to denounce it hourly, the January 6th committee would somehow link it to Trump, and we’d have new domestic terrorism legislation rushed through Congress before the week was out. Instead, Roske’s April 7th hearing in Maryland will likely receive minimal coverage, and the left will continue pretending that the only threat to democracy comes from the right.
