The assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump brings the inciting rhetoric of today’s Democrats into sharp focus.
And it should make those who employ similar language on the local stage think twice — but I’m not holding my breath.
Biden and his surrogates have been ramping up their “threat to democracy” language to dangerous levels for eight years — and once it was clear that Trump would again be the GOP nominee, the vitriol went off the charts.
Elected Democrats at every level now talk about Trump and “MAGA Republicans” with more hate and derision than they ever summon for the Hamas terrorists who are currently holding American citizens hostage.
Trump’s 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton, spent his first term referring to him as “illegitimate.”
‘Threat to democracy’
Democrat partisan state Attorney General Tish James fulfilled campaign promises by waging lawfare against Trump in civil court, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is inventing crimes in criminal court all to defeat a rival who their team is afraid to face at the ballot box.
President Biden, who promised to restore “honor and dignity” to the White House, leads the way in debased and dangerous language.
