The Left isn’t just waging a war on our values; they’re waging a war on the dictionary. Words that once had stable, clear meanings—like truth, justice, and peace—have been hijacked and twisted into political bludgeons. It is a cynical, deliberate campaign to create a bizarro-world where law enforcement officers are the aggressors and the violent criminals they confront are celebrated as victims. This isn’t just political spin; it is a corrosive acid eating away at the rule of law.

And who’s leading the charge with this latest round of doublespeak? None other than former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, who swooped in with a statement that’s a masterclass in gaslighting. Following a recent incident in Minnesota involving federal immigration agents, they chimed in to praise the anti-ICE agitators as some kind of noble heroes.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

In the meantime, every American should support and draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the country. The protests, they added, are “a timely reminder that ultimately it’s up to each of us as citizens to speak out against injustice, protect our basic freedoms, and hold our government accountable.”

A Disturbing Definition of ‘Peaceful’

“Peaceful protests,” you heard that right. Hold onto your hats, because the Obamas’ definition of ‘peaceful’ apparently involves shattered glass, injured officers, and a full-blown riot. While they were polishing their sanctimonious statement, a mob of their “inspirational” protestors descended on a Home2 Suites hotel where they believed federal agents were staying. This wasn’t a demonstration. It was a calculated hunt.

From The Post Millennial:

Federal Border Patrol and other federal agents rushed to a Home2 Suites hotel in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area late Sunday night, following hours of unrest sparked by rioters who believed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were staying inside the building.

The rioters gathered outside the hotel amid growing anger over recent federal immigration enforcement activity in the Twin Cities. As the crowd grew, tensions escalated, with agitators shouting at officers, surrounding the hotel, and attempting to block exits… Video from the scene shows chaotic confrontations between agents and rioters, with smoke filling the street as officers pushed the crowd back.

These activists, whom the Obamas want you to admire, smashed windows, laid siege to the building, and tried to trap the agents inside. The chaos grew so dangerous that federal officers were forced to deploy tear gas and flash-bangs just to defend their lives and secure an exit. In the middle of it all, at least one federal agent was injured, seen bleeding from his head as he held the line against the mob.

While surrounded, the wounded officer asked a simple, devastating question: “Where is the local PD?” A fair question, and one that Democrats in charge never seem to have a good answer for. He was an American officer, abandoned to a violent horde that his former president was about to brand as an inspiration. Utterly insane.

A Pattern of Deception and Division

Don’t for a second think this is just a simple misunderstanding. This is the playbook. It’s a feature, not a bug, of the modern Democratic party. The Obamas’ statement is a piece of agitprop, pure and simple, designed to provide top-down cover for the thugs creating anarchy on the ground. They condemn the brave men and women of ICE and Border Patrol while conveniently ignoring the violent provocations that started it all.

As commentator Liz Wheeler rightly pointed out, the individuals the Obamas are defending were shot after “violently” resisting arrest and impeding law enforcement. One rammed an officer with her car; the other appeared to be reaching for a gun. But facts are stubborn things, and the Left prefers a good narrative over the truth every time.

And the hypocrisy is almost too much to bear. As attorney Mike Davis noted, this is the same Barack Obama who “ordered the extrajudicial and targeted killings of American citizens…via drone strikes.” For him to now lecture anyone on accountability, especially while federal agents are being assaulted in the streets, is the height of arrogance. It’s a transparent effort to dismantle immigration enforcement by cheering on the criminals and vilifying the cops.

The message from the Democratic establishment couldn’t be clearer. If you are here illegally, they will protect you. If you are a violent radical attacking federal officers to help them, they will praise you. But if you wear a badge and swear an oath to uphold the laws of this nation, they will leave you to bleed.

When political leaders call violent mobs “peaceful,” they are not mistaken. They’re giving you a preview of their America—a country without law, without borders, and without sanity. It’s a future every patriot has a duty to reject.

Key Takeaways

• The Left redefines “peaceful” to provide political cover for violent mobs.
• Anti-ICE agitators, praised by the Obamas, are attacking federal agents.
• Democrats deliberately undermine law enforcement to push an open-borders agenda.
• Federal officers are being abandoned by local authorities in Democrat-run cities.
