# Americans Have Seen What Resurgent Far-Left Violence Means by Marco Rubio > "Americans have seen what [resurgent far-left violence] means—an all-out assault on our immigration officers, sniper attacks, explosives, armed ambushes. A transgender shooter opening fire on Catholic elementary school students as they pray, his gun marked with slogans like, 'Where is your God now?' A health care executive executed in cold blood in the streets. Multiple assassination attempts on a sitting president. And the murder of the greatest conservative activist of a generation, a man who happened also to be a husband and the father of two young children, shot and killed while speaking to a crowd of students." > **— Marco Rubio**, *Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism, July 16, 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Direct source:** [direct transcript](https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesman/2026/07/remarks-at-the-opening-of-the-ministerial-on-the-resurgence-of-political-terrorism/). - **Source dossier:** [[research/Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism|Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism]]. - **Editorial treatment:** The bracket replaces Rubio's backward-pointing “those numbers” with the resurgent far-left violence quantified in the preceding paragraph.
