<p>Daily Wire host Michael Knowles will testify before the United States Senate next week on the rise of political violence in America.</p>
<p>Knowles will appear before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution Tuesday at the invitation of subcommittee chairman Eric Schmitt for a hearing titled Politically Violent Attacks: A Threat to Our Constitutional Order.</p>
<p>Knowles, who frequently speaks on college campuses and faced the threat of Antifa violence during a 2023 speech, says the hearing could not come at a more crucial time.</p>
<p>“This recent uptick in left-wing violence is the culmination of years—really decades—of consistent assaults on their opponents,” Knowles said.</p>
<p>“A ‘free marketplace of ideas’ simply cannot exist when ideological bandits keep shooting up the marketplace. I’m grateful to Senator Schmitt for convening this important hearing to discuss how Congress can reassert order and hold to account the left-wing ideologues undermining our public square.”</p>
<p>In Pennsylvania, multiple individuals were sentenced to years in jail earlier this year for throwing smoke bombs at Michael during a 2023 speech at the University of Pittsburgh.</p>
<p>The United States has seen a stark increase in political violence in recent years, which includes two assassination attempts on President Donald Trump and the recent assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.</p>
<p>“The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk shook the nation to its core, and it was the latest in a long list of examples of left-wing political violence,” Schmitt said in a statement. “The rise of political violence on the left is deeply disturbing and antithetical to American values, disturbs the free exercise of our constitutional rights, and is a threat to our constitutional order,” said Senator Schmitt.</p>
<p>Knowles, host of The Michael Knowles Show, spoke at the first stop of Charlie Kirk’s campus tour in Minnesota the day after the TPUSA founder’s funeral, where activists chanted &#8220;Michael Knowles has got to go&#8221; and displayed signs mocking Kirk’s death.</p>
<p>As one of the most prominent cultural commentators at The Daily Wire, Michael has dedicated significant attention to exposing the conditions that enable left-wing political violence and has urged policymakers to take meaningful steps to safeguard civil discourse.</p>
<p>“As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, I look forward to getting the American people the answers they deserve about the realities of left-wing political violence,” said Senator Schmitt.</p>
<p>The hearing will take place on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 2:30 pm ET.</p>
