Trump's 'Bloodbath' Comment - FactCheck.org

While speaking about the potential loss of U.S. auto manufacturing jobs to foreign countries, former President Donald Trump said if he isn't elected, "it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country."

Indeed, like Bidens bullseye comment context is everything. The fact is violent language is used in both sides, though Trumps tends to be more so,. Just yesterday he was talking about slaughter in the suburbs.

No amount of whataboutism is going to top Biden's bullseye proclamation right before Trump was nearly assassinated.

That website is so saturated with spam I gave up on trying to read the article. I'm sure there must be a better deflection out there than a nominee most people probably never heard of.

That's what my adblock and VPN is for, getting rid of spam.

Stop

stop pretending to know what the motive of the killer was --we still don't know

and my post was not about that: it was pointing out that Democrats have used violent rhetoric and dogwhistles in regards to Trump for over 8 years

Then stop deflecting the point I was making. And I'm not pretending -- I clearly wrote my assessment was made on the investigation to date. It was Vance that was attempting to make political capital on an assassination attemp 2 hours after it occurred. Then again, the more I read about Vance, this should not be surprising. He'll say anything to gain to get ahead....I guess that's why Trump picked him.

Vance is just echoing what many others are saying. The level of hatred, fear and paranoia generated over Trump by left-wing politicians and media has been astronomically high, and it's no surprise whatsoever that it finally came down to him very nearly getting his head blown off. It was really just a matter of time.

....a leader echoing people's suspicions is not leadership.

More a matter of inevitably. It's amusing that we're supposed to believe it was just a coincidence. And ignore the zillions of posts to social media expressing regret and anger that removing the greatest threat in the world Hitler 2.0 wasn't successful. A murderous rage against Trump has been cultivated over a long period of years by left-wing politicians and media. its roots have grown deep.

Apparently, you can deal with the possibility that the shooter motives were a apoltical.

 

[wing2000]

While many have assumed the motives behind Saturday’s shooting were rooted in the heated rhetoric of a presidential campaign, a 1997 Secret Service study of American assassins and would-be assassins of public figures found that “attackers and near-lethal approachers of public officials rarely had ‘political’ motives.”

Karl Schmae, a retired FBI supervisory agent, said the most relevant comparison to Crooks may be John Hinckley Jr., who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Before that shooting outside a Washington hotel, Hinckley had stalked President Jimmy Carter. Investigators concluded he wanted to shoot a president to try to impress an actress.

“John Hinckley was a troubled guy and he just wanted notoriety,” Schmae said. “There was nothing in particular about Reagan other than killing him would make Hinckley famous.”

I'll say again it's amusing that we're supposed to believe it was just a coincidence. And of course anything other than that is a "conspiracy theory". The left is just burying itself.

I seem to have missed the calls to violence and assassination. What time stamp are they?
