ABC’s “This Week” featured a discussion between George Stephanopoulos and Martha Raddatz on the impact of political rhetoric on violence in the United States.
The conversation highlighted statements from politicians, including JD Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and former President Donald Trump, and their contribution to the increasingly violent discourse in the country.
George Stephanopoulos noted, “But as you point out, those statements from JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy, of course, President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as well.”

Martha Raddatz provided specific examples of Trump’s statements, saying, “Well, absolutely, George. We were just looking back this morning at some of the things that former President Trump has said. He warned last March of potential death and destruction if he were charged by the Manhattan district attorney. Our country is being destroyed as they tell us to be peaceful.”
Raddatz continued, “Trump, in January, warned of bedlam in the country if the criminal charges against him succeeded. And, of course, in March, he said, ‘Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole country. That will be the least of it.’ He said he was partly joking and that that was taken out of context. But those are indeed his words, and you have heard it from supporters as well.”

Both Stephanopoulos and Raddatz acknowledged the anger among some of Trump’s supporters and referenced the events of January 6th. Raddatz emphasized, “Supporters are certainly, in some parts, angry, and let’s remember January 6 in so many ways for the campaign. January 6 will probably be in the background after yesterday’s event.”
The discussion concluded with Raddatz reflecting on the challenges the current campaign faces: “This is a very difficult time for this campaign. I’m sure this week in Milwaukee, President Trump will highlight this, and President Biden is going to have to figure out how to go forward with his campaign and what exactly they say.”

Of course they blame conservatives. After all, it has been “us” calling Trump a Nazi, claiming he is going to retaliate and get revenge, saying he will destroy democracy…you know…incendiary stuff. We conservatives have some reason to say things like that…just don’t know what that reason would be. You will note that nothing conservatives have said have led to an attempted assassination of Pinocchio Joe. So who is inflaming the crazies?
The only ones that are OPENLY inciting violence are the leftist scum like Bidung and MadMax Waters.
AB☭?? Seriously?
