A recent letter to the Sheridan Press seemed to suggest that Donald Trump himself and his supporters had said and done things which have led to attempts on his life. Interesting. So, outrageous statements from the minions of the left have had no hand in inciting people against this man?
In a 2019 Democrat presidential candidate debate Kamala Harris herself publicly called Donald Trump a “threat to national security.”
Last November, Joe Scarborough of MSNBC said that Trump posed an existential threat to America’s representative form of government and that Trump “is running to end American democracy as we know it,” adding that Trump “will imprison and will execute whoever he is allowed to imprison, execute, drive from the country.” In December, another MSNBC host, Rachel Maddow, publicly compared Trump to Hitler and Mussolini, claiming Trump says “the exact kind of things that Hitler and Mussolini said.”
Will Stancil, then a Democrat candidate for state office in Minnesota, asked his almost 90,000 followers on X why Joe Biden “couldn’t just drone strike Trump and end this.” Before Stancil took down his post it had gleaned almost 9,000 likes and over 550 reposts. Political scientist Robert Kagan has claimed that a Trump presidency will “turn into a dictatorship,” that Trump would attempt to persecute his political enemies, and he’d prevent free and fair elections in 2026.
Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann publicly noted that he’d been saying for nine years that he hopes Trump is convicted and then dies in prison. Jacqueline Marsaw, a former congressional aide to Democrat Congressman Bennie Thompson, posted on Facebook that a potential Trump assassin should get some shooting lessons so as to not miss next time.
At the opening of the American Federation of Teachers convention in mid-July – shortly after the first assassination attempt on Trump – AFT President Randi Weingarten condemned Trump as an “existential threat to democracy.”
Interestingly, the morning after the brutal, bloody night of terror unleashed on German Jews in 1938 (called Kristallnacht), Adolf Hitler and his propaganda chief Josef Goebbels met to discuss who should pay for all the property damage caused the night before when Nazi storm troopers had poured out a torrent of destruction on synagogues and Jewish property. They decided it must somehow have been the Jews’ fault and thus they should pay for the damage.
