There was a time in America when political opponents could disagree without treating each other as subhuman. Those days appear to be over at least for the left. The escalation of violent rhetoric against conservatives has become relentless, with mainstream media figures openly deploying language that history teaches us precedes civilization’s darkest chapters.

When Democrats lecture Americans about “unity” and “protecting democracy,” pay attention to what they say when they think only allies are listening. The truth emerges. What lies beneath their polished talking points is seething contempt for tens of millions of their fellow citizens—people they view not as neighbors with different opinions, but as a pestilence requiring elimination.

From the Daily Wire:

“I think what that episode in our country’s history showed us is that we really need some fumigation, right? We need a — a — exorcism, for lack of a better term,” he said. “We need a more aggressive approach to go in and surgically remove the cancer that is the Donald Trump and MAGA movement.”

Yep, a person on mainstream TV said that.

Those vile words came from Bakari Sellers, a regular CNN analyst, speaking on former CNN anchor Don Lemon’s podcast. A prominent media figure just called for the “fumigation” of American citizens who support President Trump. He described you, your family, your neighbors—roughly half the country—as a “cancer” requiring surgical removal. This wasn’t some fringe blogger ranting into the void. This was CNN talent. On camera. Without hesitation.

The Language of Extermination

The word choice here isn’t accidental. Fumigation is what exterminators do to kill pests. It’s what you deploy against an infestation of vermin. Social media users immediately spotted the sickening historical parallels. Zyklon B, the gas used in Nazi concentration camps, was a fumigation agent.

Let me get this straight. These are the same people who spent years calling President Trump “Hitler” and labeling his supporters “fascists.” Yet here they are, employing actual extermination rhetoric against political opponents. The hypocrisy is staggering. Actually, scratch that. It’s entirely predictable.

One commenter nailed it: “This has literal Nazi overtones, from the party accusing the right of being ‘Nazis.'” Another posed the question CNN refuses to address: “This kind of talk won’t rile up the mentally unstable, will it now?”

A Shameless Double Standard

Picture this scenario for one moment. A conservative commentator calls for the “fumigation” of Democrats. The outrage would be instantaneous. Overwhelming. They’d be fired within hours, banned from every platform, and branded a domestic terrorist by lunch. Yet Sellers faces zero consequences. CNN maintains its silence.

This is who they are. Always have been. They’re just saying it out loud now.

Sellers didn’t misspeak. He didn’t reach for an unfortunate phrase in a heated exchange. He calmly, deliberately compared American citizens to insects, demons, and cancerous tumors. Why? Because they voted for the candidate he opposed. He offered no acknowledgment that Biden’s disastrous leadership or Kamala Harris’s catastrophic campaign contributed to Trump’s decisive 2024 victory. No introspection whatsoever. The problem isn’t Democratic failure. The problem is you.

What This Reveals About the Left

This grotesque rhetoric confirms what many Americans have long suspected. The Democrat Party and its media allies don’t merely disagree with conservatives. They despise us. They loathe this country and the people who built it. They view traditional Americans not as fellow citizens to persuade but as an infection demanding elimination. Sellers spoke of “surgical removal” without flinching. Without shame.

When they talk about “saving democracy,” they mean saving it from voters who choose wrong. When they preach “tolerance,” they mean tolerating everyone except those holding traditional values. This is the language of people determined to tear America apart.

Remember this moment. Remember Bakari Sellers and his call for fumigation. Remember CNN’s deafening silence. When they inevitably pivot to saccharine calls for “unity” and “healing,” they’ve already revealed their true convictions. You’re not their fellow American. To them, you’re vermin requiring extermination. That’s not political disagreement. That’s a declaration of war against everything this nation represents.
