Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., argued Monday that, since many conservatives use the term “radical left” to refer to the growing far-left faction of the Democratic Party, Democrats should start calling Republicans an even more extreme name.
She tweeted Monday that Republicans should be referred to as “the terrorist right.”
The Republicans have been calling Democrats the radical left. Time to call Republicans the terrorist right?

Actors Sophia Bush and Patricia Arquette agreed with Speier. Bush said it’s “been time” to call Republicans terrorists, and Arquette suggested calling members of the GOP “radical right terrorists.”
The One Tree Hill star also voiced her support for former President Donald Trump’s impeachment.
He must be convicted. Accountability is the only way to stop this from happening again. And from Trump officials knee-capping the National Guard, to horrific death and destruction, the crimes played out on paper AND on live TV. This is not up for debate. @SenateDems @SenateGOP https://t.co/sJHsLPBiEj

Speier is not alone in equating all Republicans to the fringe group of radicals who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who has accused Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, of trying to get her killed, said during an appearance last week on MNSBC’s All In with Chris Hayes that the Republican caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives is filled with “legitimate white supremacist sympathizers.”
