Let’s be clear: The attempted assassination of Speaker Pelosi and the assault on her husband in their home is NOT a story about crime. It’s a story about how MAGA Republican extremism is inciting violence and harming our democracy.
MTG telling people that Pelosi was committing treason then telling the same people that the punishment for treason is death didn’t help. Her also claiming that democrats have already started the killings of conservatives. It’s going to be hard to stop the escalation when people like MTG see huge spikes in donations every time they are outrageous. Her job is essentially bomb thrower. Plus they have an entire media ecosystem that has monetized outrage because it keeps people watching.
They have basically made Kyle Rittenhouse a Conservative hero. Deplorable is far too kind a word for most of the modern GQP.
Twitter is literally ablaze with right wingers celebrating this attack and complaining that it was not Nancy herself they are also creating fake conspiracy’s regarding this attack along with current members of the GOP feeding those flames.
Remember when the guy attacked the GOP softball game and shot rep Scalise?
All Democrats and almost a full majority of Democratic voters condemned that man but not here that just shows you the difference between our party’s the GOP and its base embrace the violence condone it and try to deflect away from the reality that their lies hate and gaslighting caused it.
Typical nonsense from the left. The wacko was a far left loon. But that does not help the Dem narrative. Just another reason to deport illegal convicted felons and put an end to left wing sanctuary states and cities. If the Pelosi’s are not safe, are you?
Maybe if the hammer were in the other hand the magats wouldn’t be so quick to violence. All bullies are cowards at heart. "If they can’t hurt somebody without consequences they are too afraid to do it.

Don’t tell me that TFG’s blather didn’t inspire the attack on Paul Pelosi.

Ya didn’t need to add the hammer – we all know he’s a tool.
Putin’s tool.

As Harry Truman’s sign on the Resolute Desk said, “The buck stops here.” Something DJT will never comprehend.
