List of threats, assaults, harasssment, death threats etc on journalists, minorities, office holders, political supporters/detractors etc (but only through August 2019)
indexed at The Guardian here.
All coincidences I'm sure.
The list may be missing some incidences -- for instance it does not mention the woman who got
punched in the face with a beer bottle for the "crime" of speaking Swahili with her own family or the Indian college students harassed in Kansas City by a biker yelling "TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP". Nor does it include the mass shootings in Pittsburgh, El Paso, Montréal et al, intentionally triggered by Rumpian rhetoric. Nor does it include the James Fields car attack in Charlottesville.
But yes, good question -- WHO could it be that's bringing this all about. WHO indeed. I just can't imagine. Pee Wee Herman? Megyn Kelley? Mother Theresa? Jeepers Wally, I have just no idea.
