Political violence 'mostly caused' by Dems: Trump Jr.

In an interview with NewsNation, Donald Trump Jr. said that he believes most political violence is caused by Democrats.

The article from Yahoo News discusses a study by the University of Chicago's Project on Security and Threats, which found that the majority of political violence in the U.S. since 2016 has been perpetrated by individuals associated with left-wing causes. The study, titled "Political Violence in America: A Review of the Evidence," analyzed data from various sources, including law enforcement and media reports, and concluded that left-wing extremists were responsible for 57% of the incidents, while right-wing extremists accounted for 29%. The remaining incidents were attributed to individuals with no clear ideological affiliation. The study's authors noted that this trend represents a shift from previous decades, when right-wing extremism was more prevalent. They also emphasized that the overall level of political violence remains low compared to other forms of violence in the U.S.
