The left throws around the word “fascist” like candy and routinely equates President Trump and the administration to Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. It’s hardly a surprise, then, that we’re seeing increasing political violence, most infamously exhibited by the two attempts on Trump’s life and the brutal assassination of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
But like the psycho who showed up at Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house in 2022 with the intent to kill, an apparently deranged individual arrived at the Virginia home of Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought over the summer wearing gloves, sunglasses, a surgical mask, and a backpack.
His intent was not hard to divine, and he’s now facing a slew of charges, including attempted murder:
BREAKING: A 26-year-old man has been arrested and is facing attempted murder charges for showing up to the home of OMB Director Russ Vought and trying to kill him.

According to the complaint, he wrote a manifesto where he cited 'Project 2025' and a "fascist takeover" of America as his motivation.
Democrat lies radicalized a potential murderer.
Speaking of Project 2025, which is merely a policy blueprint organized by the Heritage Foundation and not a Satanic cult, Kamala Harris just tried to demonize them in her cringe “comeback announcement” Wednesday, as RedState’s Nick Arama reported. People — often deranged ones — take notice of all the inflammatory rhetoric.

The suspected wannabe assassin is a real peach:
According to CBS News, investigators said Demarco traveled from his home in Rockville, Maryland, to Vought's Arlington residence on Aug. 10, where he was captured on a Ring doorbell camera wearing gloves, sunglasses, a surgical mask and a backpack.
He was also seen looking through Vought's mailbox and asking a neighbor whether anyone was home. The neighbor later told police Demarco appeared to have a gun tucked under his shirt, the report said.
Court records state Demarco is accused of plotting to kill a victim identified as "R.V.," described in the criminal complaint as a presidential appointee involved in the creation of Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation-backed effort outlining policy priorities for a future Republican administration.

The accused also told investigators that he was worried that Donald Trump would engineer a "fascist takeover." Wonder where he got that idea? (Answer: from Chuck Schumer, Gavin Newsom, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Tim Walz, and just about every other Democrat you could fit in a football stadium.)
Vought has been a key player in Trump 2.0 and has influence over personnel decisions, budgeting, economic strategy, and more. Because of that role and because he regularly receives threats, he is protected by the U.S. Marshals Service.
Obviously, we’re pleased to report that Vought is okay, but sadly, Charlie Kirk wasn’t so lucky. The Left has fired up the wackos into a wild-eyed rage, the kind we see daily on the streets of Minneapolis, and they are squarely to blame for a huge portion of the recent bloodshed we’ve seen.
Shameful.
