A man attacked the husband of congresswoman Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, almost killing him. Charlie Kirk laughs about it. He says anyone who bailed out the attacker would be a great patriot (files.catbox.moe)

DePape was captured on video, hitting Paul Pelosi in the head repeatedly with a hammer. That's attempted murder. You don't bludgeon someone in the head to teach them a lesson. No Democrat, even in a cashless bail city/state would say someone like that should be freed.

Cashless bail (or even no bail at all) doesn't mean no pre-trial detention for people who really deserve it, so I'm not even sure why you'd bring it up. Of course they wouldn't free him

Too many people think "cashless bail" means letting violent people go free.

Because the left is just awful at messaging, especially compared to the right.
