It was this week back in 1934 that we experienced something called Night of the Long Knives:

In Germany, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler orders a bloody purge of his own political party, assassinating hundreds of Nazis whom he believed had the potential to become political enemies in the future.
Hitler didn’t do primaries, but his purges were basically the same thing. Let’s get rid of those who may become potential enemies or will get in the way of our ambition. They are no longer convenient, so let’s push them over.
We hear that Hakeem Jeffries is next. He is no longer convenient, or maybe radical enough, to feed the derangement.
It reminds me of something that we have seen before when the mob turns on its own leaders because that’s what deranged mobs do. Let’s hear from Professor Turley:
‘You’re next!’
This chant, at the victory celebration of the Democratic Socialists this week, was a message not for the oligarchs or the billionaires, but for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and the Democratic establishment. They were threatening that Jeffries would be the next to lose his House seat to a socialist candidate.
It was a scene that has recurred throughout history, as establishment leaders are overtaken by the very mobs they sought to use for their own purposes.
For years, Jeffries has joined other Democrats in fueling the rage on the left in the hopes of becoming the next House Speaker. Whether calling for supporters to ‘fight in the streets,’ denouncing the Supreme Court as ‘illegitimate’ or posting an image of himself brandishing a baseball bat, Jeffries sought to portray himself as a class warrior worthy of the mob’s support.

Other Democratic leaders followed suit — especially Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. It was Schumer who yelled threats at conservative Supreme Court justices in front of the court. A deranged man triggered by such rhetoric in the media later attempted to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Schumer and others portrayed their opponents as Nazis who threaten the very existence of democracy, and they stoked class conflict to inspire resentment for the wealthy.
Former Democratic National Committee deputy chair Keith Ellison — now Minnesota’s attorney general — celebrated that Antifa would ‘strike fear in the heart’ of Trump and his supporters.
Figures like Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) (who is reportedly worth half a billion dollars due to his wife’s inherited fortune) have attempted to ride the rage wave by advocating a billionaire’s tax that is presumptively unconstitutional.
Yes, Hakeem is next along with Chuck. They are now inconvenient, as the mob wants to seize control of the party. They want to take their movement to other states, and take out incumbents in blue districts.
Nobody is safe anymore from the deranged mob. They want to “primary you,” and they will. They will probably push Abdul El-Sayed over the line in Michigan, another very radical candidate. The only good news about that is the GOP may flip Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat.
Time will tell whether the so called moderates can push back or save their seats. My guess is that it’s too late, because the mob is in the building and they are in no mood to negotiate a compromise.
We warned Democrats that all of this hatred would eventually come back to them. They didn’t listen, because they were enjoying all of the stuff about Trump being a dictator, or unconfirmed stories of Kavanaugh gang-raping girls.

It won’t be fun for Democrats, but they did it to themselves.
