SOMERSET, England, August 7, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Left-wing vandals targeted Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg’s home and his wife’s car last week, as detailed in photos compiled by The Sun.

For his part, Rees-Mogg appears to be taking the incident in stride.

Another update from the left, which screams “tolerance” but is only tolerant of their own views.

And they still wonder why Trump won.

Boy I wish they would go in to a Moose Limbs' house and put bacon, beer cans, and dog squeeze all over the place.

No wait, that would take some guts.

British ain't got no guts left.
