“非常令人担忧”：前众议院资深情报共和党人就挫败的UFC袭击事件发表回应
密歇根州共和党参议员候选人、前众议院情报委员会主席迈克·罗杰斯表示，民主党言论“绝对”在加剧政治暴力事件的上升势头。

针对白宫举办的Freedom 250终极格斗冠军赛（UFC）赛事的未遂袭击阴谋，已有第八人被起诉。与此同时，一位前关键立法者、前联邦调查局特工以及现任参议员候选人警告称，左翼不断升级的言论正在煽动暴力。
“他们称人们为纳粹和反美分子，”正在密歇根州参选参议员的前众议院情报委员会主席迈克·罗杰斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“这种‘没有国王’的论调。人们说你们正在摧毁你的政府和生活方式。这给那些已经有极端倾向的人一点许可，让他们迈出下一步，而他们必须控制自己在这方面的言论。”
罗杰斯表示，民主党正在“鼓励”人们超越“正常的政治对话”，走向暴力袭击。联邦调查局官员此前告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，所有八名嫌疑人都被控密谋使用搭载爆炸物的无人机，引发6月14日赛事的大规模疏散，随后将逃亡人群引向预先部署的枪手，同时策划了“第二波袭击”，目标直指白宫大门。
“他们在鼓励很多人情绪失控，跨越正常政治对话的界限，走向激进、攻击性的政治行为，包括谋杀未遂，而你刚刚在UFC赛事相关的事件中看到了这种情况，”罗杰斯说。

罗杰斯是前联邦调查局特勤人员，将于8月4日参加密歇根州共和党参议院初选，角逐即将退休的参议员加里·彼得斯留下的席位。
罗杰斯表示，“自我激进化”的个人更难被识别，但他称赞执法部门及时阻止了这起疑似袭击阴谋。

“这种自我激异化非常危险，”他说。“它会让某人开车上路，撞倒某人，或者，你知道，实施其他暴力行为。”
根据华盛顿州的起诉书，嫌疑人据称通过Telegram聊天群密谋获取多架可携带重型爆炸载荷的无人机，而联邦调查人员表示，他们还获取了枪支、弹药、防弹装备和其他战术装备，为袭击做准备。
起诉书显示，这些密谋者大约在3月通过TikTok社区结识，随后转移到加密的Signal聊天群，之后同意在UFC Freedom 250赛事期间，在白宫场地及周边地区实施谋杀，检察官称。

这起疑似袭击阴谋最终因一名嫌疑人的母亲提供线索而被挫败。
罗杰斯提及最近发生在密歇根州一座犹太会堂的袭击事件，称这类言论会让一些人认为政治暴力是“可以接受的”。
“在密歇根州，我们有一个人认为，开着装满炸药的汽车冲进一所有130名学龄儿童正在上课的犹太会堂，然后试图引爆炸弹自杀，这种行为是可以接受的，”他说。
在今年3月的这起袭击中，艾曼·穆罕默德·加扎利据称将他的皮卡撞向一座内部有100多名儿童的西布卢姆菲尔德犹太会堂，随后被警方击毙。官员们此前表示，此次袭击发生在他的多名家人在黎巴嫩与以色列的战争中被杀之后，他被伊朗支持的真主党激进化。

罗杰斯表示，社交媒体加剧了政治暴力，称网上充斥的暴力言论“非常、非常令人担忧”。
“所有这类活动都是通过网络、互联网、对话以及这种激烈且错误的暴力言论滋生的，他们使用的暴力术语非常、非常令人担忧，”他说。

‘Very concerning’: Former top House intel Republican reacts to foiled UFC attack
Michigan GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers, former chair of the House intelligence committee, said Democrat rhetoric is “absolutely” contributing to the rise in political violence.

An eighth person was charged in connection with a thwarted plot targeting the Freedom 250 Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the White House, as a former key lawmaker, ex-FBI agent and current candidate for Senate warned that escalating rhetoric on the left is stoking violence.
“They’re calling people Nazis and anti-American,” former House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Rogers, who is running for Senate in Michigan, told Fox News Digital. “This No Kings notion. People are destroying your government and your way of life. It gives people who are already out there a little bit of permission to take the next step, and they’ve got to control their rhetoric on this.”
Rogers said Democrats are “encouraging” people to move beyond “normal political discourse” and into violent attacks. All eight suspects are accused of conspiring to use explosive-laden drones to trigger a mass evacuation of the June 14 event before directing fleeing crowds toward pre-positioned shooters, with a “second wave” planned to target the White House gate, FBI officials previously told Fox News Digital.
“They are encouraging a lot of people to get worked up to cross that line between what would be normal political discourse into radical, aggressive political behavior, including attempted murder, which you just saw in the UFC fights,” Rogers said.

Rogers, a former FBI special agent, is running in Michigan’s Republican Senate primary on Aug. 4 for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Gary Peters.
Rogers said “self-radicalized” individuals are harder to identify, but praised law enforcement for stopping the alleged plot in time.

“That self-radicalization can be really dangerous,” he said. “It causes somebody to get in the car, drive, run over somebody or, you know, do some other act of violence.”
According to the Washington state complaint, the suspects allegedly used a Telegram chat to conspire to obtain multiple drones capable of carrying heavy explosive payloads, while federal investigators said they also acquired firearms, ammunition, ballistic gear and other tactical equipment in preparation for the attack.
The plotters allegedly met around March through a TikTok community before moving to encrypted Signal chats, according to the complaint, and later agreed to commit murder on White House grounds and in the surrounding area during the UFC Freedom 250 event, prosecutors said.

The alleged plot was eventually foiled with the help of a tip from the mother of one of the suspects.
Pointing to a recent attack on a Michigan synagogue, Rogers said the rhetoric can lead some people to believe political violence is “okay.”
“In Michigan, we had an individual who decided that it was okay to drive a car full of explosives into a synagogue where 130 schoolchildren were being educated and tried to blow himself up,” he said.
In that March attack, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali allegedly crashed his pickup into a West Bloomfield synagogue with more than 100 children inside before officers fatally shot him. Officials previously said the attack came after several of his family members were killed in Lebanon during the country’s war with Israel, and he became radicalized by Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Rogers said social media has contributed to political violence, saying the violent rhetoric plastered online is “very, very concerning.”
“All of that activity is fed online and through the internet, through conversations and through this heated and wrong-headed violent rhetoric, and their violent terminology is very, very concerning,” he said.
