Trump shot

Trump was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania. Unlike other high profile shootings, I have not heard the democrats calling for a ban on guns. We should have seen this coming and wonder why it took so long to happen. The democrats have shouted long and hard that Trump was the second coming of Hitler and their main message this election season is that Trump was evil and a threat to democracy. I cannot recall another presidential campaign with this much vitriol and incendiary speech. The main stream media has been complicit with the democrats in trying to spread fear amongst the electorate. MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, USA Today and the rest have raised the temperature in this election. Much like when Chuck Schumer tacitly threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and there was an assassination attempt on Kavanaugh, I have been anticipating an attempt on Trump.

I am not giving Trump a pass either. Many times, his messages have been interpreted as xenophobic and racist. In fact, during his first campaign many of his comments led me to remark “I thought George Wallace was dead.” Hopefully, this shooting will cause the rhetoric on both sides to be toned down.

But here are a few choice comments by the democrats on Trump.

“We’ve done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” – Joe Biden

America faces an immediate future of military occupations, political executions and concentration camps unless millions of its citizens unite against “dictator” Donald  Trump” – Salons Chauncey DeVega

“There is one existential threat: It’s Donald Trump”  –  Joe Biden 

“Trump poses an existential threat to abortion rights in Pennsylvania” – Democratic US Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon

There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA movement.”  Joe Biden

Those who stormed this Capitol and those who instigated and incited and those who called on them to do so held a dagger at the throat of America and American democracy. – Joe Biden

 “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are.” Colorado state Rep. Steven Woodrow

“Donald Trump’s campaign is obsessed with the past, not the future,” Biden said earlier in the speech. “He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power.” – Joe Biden

“Someone who vilifies immigrants, who promotes xenophobia, who stokes hate and who incites fear should never again have the chance to stand behind a microphone  and never again have the chance to stand behind the seal of the president of the United States of America.” – Kamala Harris

Do you think any of this might have prompted the shooter? On the other hand please look at this article on Vox to see how the left views Trump as the “accelerant.”
