The Patriot Post® · In Brief: The Left Will Never Stop Wanting Trump Dead
After yet another attempt on Donald Trump’s life, the Left is denying responsibility and making counter allegations. Matt Margolis thinks the reason is simple: Leftists don’t believe they are the problem.
It’s been two months since a would-be assassination nearly killed Former President Trump in Butler, Pa. We all remember the shocking images of a bloodied Trump and took inspiration from his strength and resolve in the aftermath. We also remember how Democrats, including Joe Biden, called for the nation’s political temperature to “cool down,” afterwards.
That lasted, what, maybe fifteen minutes?
Seriously, it took no time at all for Democrats, including Biden, to go back to the same unhinged rhetoric. They quickly resumed calling Trump a threat to democracy and a wannabe dictator.
Today, in the aftermath of the second failed attempt on Trump’s life in Florida, Democrats are once again scrambling to condemn the violence they’ve encouraged through years of reckless rhetoric. I’d share their social media posts, but what’s the point? They don’t mean what they say, just as they didn’t mean it two months ago.
They inspired this. You’ve heard the dangerous words from the top down — even from Joe Biden.
After revisiting some of Biden’s comparisons of Trump to Hitler, along with that vilifying speech he gave two years ago, Margolis adds, “If you call someone Hitler enough times, someone will feel morally obligated to stop him.”
He concludes:
The left will never tone down its rhetoric because it doesn’t see its rhetoric as the problem. It’s Trump’s fault. It’s always Trump’s fault. These are the same people who justified the BLM riots in 2020, which inflicted billions of dollars in damage and killed innocent people. I don’t doubt that there are plenty of people on the left who think killing Trump would be morally justified, and that’s because of the rhetoric from the left.
