Trump ramps up attacks on left, Democrats after Kirk assassination
In a four-minute video posted hours after Kirk was shot, Trump said years of attacks from the left comparing figures like Kirk to Nazis was “directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.”
When co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump how the country can come together, noting there are “radicals” on both the right and the left, Trump defended those on the right as concerned about crime, while condemning those on the left as “vicious” and “horrible.”
On Sunday, Trump again insisted the problem “is on the left.”
“When you look at the agitators, you look at the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place, that’s the left, that’s not the right,” Trump said.
Trump calls his opponents 'scum' and lawbreakers in bellicose speech at Justice Department
President Donald Trump on Friday walked into the Department of Justice and labeled his courtroom opponents “scum,” judges “corrupt” and the prosecutors who investigated him “deranged.”
With the DOJ logo directly behind him, Trump called his political opponents lawbreakers and said others should be sent to prison.
trump is no one whose vitriolic rhetoric you should want to copy. His approach shouldn't be anyone's example of how to behave in civil society. Parents don't raise their kids to be petulant and vindictive. Americans never embraced politicians who are, before now.
To the extent national leaders set the tone for the country, Don's tone needs to be rejected in the strongest possible way. Not copied.
