We're not the dangerous ones! It's the guy getting shot at every month who's the real danger!
If you fat cowards want him dead so bad, why don't you step up and do the job yourselves?
Does this work for people on the left? When the left gets all the "death threats" they claim they get (but can never produce, for some reason), can I say they are inciting those threats against themselves, and if they want to feel safe, they should just stop saying things that might anger some people?
The demonic media has decided that Trump incited both assassination attempts against himself.
This is very much like radical Muslims telling us in 2001 that we're causing the terrorism against us, because we say and do things radical Muslims don't like.
Same thing. Only now we're saying and doing thing the extremists leftists don't like. And those extremist leftists are the protected paramilitary forces of the Democrat-Media Party.
"But do you expect to hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric, toning down the violence, or would that be atypical of the former president?" Witt asked.
...
Witt's questioning about the Trump campaign asking to tone down "the violence" comes after her network, MSNBC, platformed speakers, such as Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) in July, who have claimed Trump is an "existential threat to democracy." Just before the second assassination attempt on Trump on Sunday, MSNBC's Inside with Jen Psaki featured Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who argued domestic terrorism in the country is real and that Trump is "the guy that stokes it."
NBC, meanwhile, featured anchor Lester Holt discussing the assassination attempt, saying it comes amid "increasingly fierce rhetoric" on the 2024 campaign trail. Holt argued that Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), the former president's running mate, are making "baseless claims about Haitian immigrants" in Springfield, Ohio, where there were bomb threats over the weekend.
CNN also featured former FBI agent Tim Clemente, who suggested Trump's statements on the campaign trail have led to the uptick in political violence. One of the statements Clemente cited was when Trump claimed there would be a "bloodbath" in the auto industry.
The network conducted an interview between anchor Jake Tapper and former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney in October 2023, in which she warned that Trump is "the single most dangerous threat we face." Tapper has compared Trump's speeches to the writings of Adolf Hitler and his book Mein Kampf.
CNN invited fired DEI hire Don LeMon back just so he could make the case that Trump incited his own assassins against him.
This is Don LeMon's way of re-auditioning for CNN -- and the audition was probably successful.
During his appearance with Burnett, Lemon talked about gun violence in the United States, including Sunday's assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The ex-CNN anchor argued that "nothing" ever happens to fix the nation's gun violence and blamed Republicans for "killing sensible gun legislation."
...
Lemon also pushed back against Trump and Republicans for accusing Democrats of using their rhetoric to increase danger in the country, pulling out a list of nicknames Trump has given to CNN and Democrats. He then suggested that Trump should "stop threatening democracy" if he wants people to stop saying he is a threat to democracy.
The former CNN anchor also detailed his new book, I Once Was Lost: My Search for God in America, in which he argues that evangelicals in the U.S. are trying to turn the country into a theocracy. He added that it is "shocking" how these evangelical voters are supporting Trump in this election.
As you probably know, the NYT and Dallas Morning News both ran headlines praising Trump's second assassin as someone motivated by "a sense of duty" and someone who "crusades for causes."
And as you well know, what motivates most assassins is the feeling that their actions will one day be praised as heroic and courageous.
And the New York Times and Dallas Morning News are telling all potential assassins that they don't need to wait for history to vindicate them: They are ready to vindicate them right now, and praise them as heroes for taking that glorious shot.
Is this effort to Normalize Assassinating Trump bearing fruit?
Why yes, it is -- 28% of Democrats say that America will be better off once they can incite a competent assassin to kill him.
Another 24% said they weren't sure. Only 48%, less than half (he said, obviously), say America wouldn't be better off if a leftist assassin kicks off the civil war for realsies.
According to a new survey that RMG Research conducted for the Napolitan News Service, a staggering 17% of voters believe that America would be better off if last week's assassination attempt on Trump had succeeded. This includes an alarming 28% of Democrats, with another 24% unsure whether America might be better off if Trump were dead.
Only 48% of Democrats could definitively say that the country would not be better off if Trump had been killed.
These numbers are nothing short of horrifying. When nearly half of a major political party cannot outright reject the idea of the assassination of a political opponent as a solution, we are witnessing a moral breakdown in the very fabric of our society -- or at least the Democratic Party.
"It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered," observed Scott Rasmussen, president of RMG Research.
Matt Gaetz says there are five assassin teams in the US looking to kill Trump, three of which are foreign. Probably Iranian, I'd guess, as we've already heard Iran is recruiting assassins to kill Trump.
I guess Iran is "trying to kill both parties" by only targeting Trump.
And I guess Trump just needs to "lower the temperature of his rhetoric" about the terror state of Iran.
