'I want blood in the streets': Editor of conservative site 'explicitly' demands 'violence'

Carl GibsonSeptember 26, 2025

Geoffrey Ingersoll, who is an editor-at-large of the far-right news outlet The Daily Caller, recently published an op-ed entitled: "Enough Is Enough ... I Choose VIOLENCE!"

Ingersoll argued that there was a "need to reinstitute a public debt for anti-social and subversive behavior" and that "some of this cost needs to be summary and ultra-violent." He further opined that violence was necessary and justified as he believed law enforcement is too slow to act, saying "we’ve always known no one is coming to help us." As an example, he pointed to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who recently dismissed charges against a woman who punched a conservative provocateur on camera.

"Is this a call for violence? Yes. Explicitly it is," Ingersoll wrote.

The Daily Caller editor outlined grievances with liberals including former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon's four-month prison sentence, saying "all he did was defy a Congressional subpoena." He also supported President Donald Trump's Department of Justice indicting former FBI Director James Comey, writing: "Democracy will survive if James Comey spends time in jail for lying to Congress to cover up a subversive conspiracy to undermine Trump." He further called for prosecutions against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton along with former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and said he would be fine if Democrats did the same to Republicans once they returned to power.
