Riots and looting have hit several European countries, with more unrest expected. I spoke with Czech Senator @hraba_z about what’s behind it and what he says needs to happen next. Hraba says the protests began over school conditions and the cost of living, but were quickly hijacked. “The protests were exploited by far-left militant groups, financed from abroad, that attack European and Anglo-American civilization and want to destroy it.” He warns of what he calls a “red-green” alliance between far-left movements and Islamist groups. He says the far left wants to tear down Western institutions, while the Islamist side is seeking dominance over Judeo-Christian civilization. He says accusations of racism are being used to discredit those trying to restore law and order, and that conservative leaders must not be swayed by them. His solution: reject illegal migration entirely, limit legal migration, and carry out deportations. He calls deportations “a necessity” and points to Sweden as a warning. Closer to home, Hraba notes that Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš has said he’s prepared to deploy the army to guard the border with Germany if needed. Conservative leaders from across Central Europe are set to meet in Prague to discuss how to keep the region safe.

@SenatorSlotkin says she wants young people to think twice before working for the Trump administration. “I want them to be like, ‘Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want.’ … I want that deterrence message sent.” So I asked young conservatives what they make of it. Andrew Joseph, president of the @RutgersGOP, says the comments are a personal attack on young GOP members and a wake-up call for conservatives to organize. Rutgers student Megyn Doyle says it’s only making her more determined to pursue a career in politics. Attorney Erin Mersino of @advocates4faith says Slotkin is wrong that government staffers have no protection, because qualified immunity covers many of their actions. Still, Mersino doesn’t want the senator punished. She says the better answer to unwise speech is wise speech. President @realDonaldTrump also weighed in, saying Slotkin wants to frighten young people away from ever working in his administration.
