Democrats have been confirming who they really are for many years. That's something that we saw, for instance, with their unabashed support for the rioters and looters during the 2020 George Floyd riots and their repeated failures to condemn the politically motivated, violent attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners (and ICE) that we saw in 2025.
Even more disturbing were the sickening reactions we saw from educators, doctors, and others on social media, who are in positions of serving the public (including children), in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. It wasn't just a random few. It was a chorus of them who had no qualms whatsoever about picking up their phones and posting TikToks for the world to see, in which they proudly declared that Charlie Kirk got exactly what he deserved, while saying others like him should be next.
Perhaps among the sickest of all, however, were the ones who openly claimed that the children who lost their lives in the devastating summer 2025 Texas floods got what their parents voted for.

Fast forward to the aftermath of the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner shooting, and the Usual Suspects, unfortunately, are at it again - because apparently they just can't help themselves.
One example in particular is especially eye-opening for reasons I'll get to in a moment. It involves a UnitedHealthcare employee who is now out of a job after a message she posted on social media not long after the attempted assassination of President Trump and cabinet secretaries Saturday night:
UnitedHealthcare has fired a woman who expressed sadness in a TikTok video that President Donald Trump was not killed in the Saturday shooting during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. In the video, she sarcastically asked, "Aww, they missed?"
"We're cooked as a country when my first reaction to hearing the news about Trump's attempt was, ‘It was probably fake,’" Alison King, who has reportedly deleted her LinkedIn account but was identified as a social media manager for UnitedHealthcare, said in the video.
"Like, immediately I was like, 'Oh, that wasn't real, probably fake,’" King said. "And the second was 'Aww, they missed? So happy they missed.’ Yeah, that's sad,’" King said sarcastically.
Here's the video:

Any comment @UHC? pic.twitter.com/qGG4iOoD72
UHC did comment on Tuesday morning - letting X users know that Ms. King (pronouns: she/her, of course) is no longer with the company:
Violence is never acceptable and any comments that suggest otherwise are in no way consistent with our mission and values. The person who made comments online about Saturday night’s incident at a Washington event where President Trump and many other political leaders were gathered is no longer employed by the company.
Relatedly, there was this:

I mean, her comments were pretty disgusting on their own. But imagine being an employee of a company whose CEO (Brian Thompson) was assassinated in December 2024, allegedly by someone who had issues with the health insurance industry, and then turning around and feeling like it was okay not just to think the way she did about the WHCD shooting but to post about it for everyone to see.
And just as a reminder, Thompson's alleged killer, Luigi Mangione, has been romanticized and glorified by the same deranged leftists who pitch fits and reach for the smelling salts if Trump commits the crime of posting a mean tweet:
The assassins are cheered by their potential groupies who line up for them, as they did for Luigi Mangini: pic.twitter.com/Gq507QSX4O

Assassination chic is not just a fringe thing on the left anymore. It has become mainstream, aided and abetted by popular far-left streamers like the America-hating Hasan Piker, an assassination apologist who counts NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Democrat Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Ilhan Omar (MN-05), and Michigan Senate Democrat candidate Abdul El-Sayed, among the prominent Democat public figures who have embraced him with open arms.
As I said on Monday, Democrats are having a real "crossing the Rubicon" moment, and there may be no turning back.
