I see President Trump making one extemporaneous quip at a campaign rally that was blown all out of proportion and who has since that time made a point to urge careful and humane treatment of those ejected from his rallies and has unequivocally denounced the thugs and hoodlums who illegally obstruct traffic and businesses, terrorize, vandalize, loot, commit arson, assault and battery. And I see happy, smiling, enthusiastic, hopeful people showing up by the tens of thousands to his rallies and not once have I heard anybody at those rallies suggesting protests against the opposition.
I see Maxine Waters going to some length to encourage people to terrorize, shame, and prevent anybody who supports President Trump, particularly his staffers, from participating in any ordinary activities. And it was reported that her supporters who showed up at her California office this week were carrying bats and lengths of pipe.
Therein is the difference. And if you do not see one as worse than the other so be it.
Yes, trump supporters murdered someone. Big difference. Are you seriously going to pretend the blob only did it once—incited violence?
They did? Who was that? I expect a reliable source for that one too.
Fact check. Org is the source

Oh well, if you are going to indict the entire Republican party, everybody on the right, and the entire Trump Administration for the act of one hateful person, we could go with a lot of counter examples of that:
1. The Las Vegas shooter targeting a conservative gathering
2. A hateful leftist targeting Republicans at a baseball practice
3. A Black Lives Matters supporter sniping and killing police officers from a rooftop
There is a long LONG list we could keep adding on here.
So I suggest you give up trying to argue your point on that score as you will clearly lose.
I might add that the Trump Administrations response to that Charlottesville unconscionable act:
. . .Fields was indicted on one federal count of a hate crime resulting in Heyer's death, 28 counts of hate crimes for causing bodily injury and involving an attempt to kill and one count of racially motivated violent interference with a federally protected activity.
The grand jury was sitting in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia in Charlottesville.
In announcing the indictment, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said his department has determined that "hateful ideologies will not have the last word and their adherents will not get away with violent crimes against those they target."
Sessions said the indictment "should send a clear message to every would-be criminal in America that we aggressively prosecute violent crimes of hate that threaten the core principles of our nation." . . .

You of course left out the folks chanting the Aryan slogan “Jews will not replace us” as they carried torches; you know...the same people the blob called “very fine people”
But thanks for acknowledging that the Cons and the Libs both have idiots. The question you will not answer is why you give folks like the accused murderer Fields a pass but cite the comparatively superficial things Maxine and her followers did. Don’t you think it is a double standard you have there?
Okay, when you have something honest and constructive to offer, I'll be glad to debate you. But this is so dishonest and over the top, I'll just wish you a pleasant day.
