It's no surprise that people with extreme views are also more prone to extreme acts of violence -- which both are now prevalent in today's Republican party. The MAGA Republican party's complete disdain for law and order is palpable led by Donald Trump's constant inciting or cheering on violence against anyone he dislikes. So, it should come as no surprise that many Republican politicians and conservatives commit assault. We've documented notable instances of Republicans assaulting people at varying severity below.
