No doubt the media is delighted with its success in hyping the Capitol Riot to drive people out of the Republican Party. If only we had a nonpartisan media establishment, that awful event would be more than compensated for by political violence from the left, including Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and LGBT militants. We would hear much more about incidents like the January 23 bombing of the First Works Baptist Church in El Monte, Los Angeles County:

Protestors have repeatedly targeted the church headed by Pastor Bruce Mejia, who has condemned same-sex relationships.

Mejia has made the sort of statements on homosexuality you could expect to hear in a mosque. However, imams are allowed to say what Christian pastors are not. Islam has enjoyed the favor of the liberal establishment at least since 9/11. Christianity has been hated by progressives at least since Karl Marx.

Mejia’s sermons and the church’s stance were called hate speech during public comments at an El Monte City Council meeting, according to the Mercury News.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit advocacy organization specializing in civil rights litigation, listed the church on its 2019 watch list of “anti-LBGTQ hate groups.”

Being designated an anti-LBGTQ hate group by the SPLC has led to violence before. Recall that Floyd Lee Corkins was inspired by an SPLC hate map to invade the offices of the Family Research Council in a botched attempt at mass murder that resulted in the wounding of a security guard.
