Trump praises and encourages acts of violence
Domestic terrorist Cesar Sayoc mailed pipe bombs to Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Senator Kamala Harris, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, actor Robert De Niro, former U.S. President Barack Obama, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as other public figures who have been critical of Donald Trump.
Much more recently, a group of right-wing terrorists who call themselves the Wolverine Watchmen plotted to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and ignite a “civil war”.
And more recently still, a group of armed criminals stalked a campaign bus that was in Texas to promote Joseph Biden’s candidacy. They used pickup trucks to box in the campaign bus and tried to force it off the road. They also rammed an SUV that was traveling with the campaign bus.
All of these incidents have at least one thing in common. Trump has repeatedly and publicly attacked the victims of these crimes, calling them things like “crooked” “tyrant”, “human scum”, and “an enemy of the American People.”
Trump refuses to condemn hate groups and domestic terrorists like the ones listed above and instead encourages them, like when he tweeted, “I LOVE TEXAS” after armed criminals in Texas attempted to force the Biden bus off the road.
America has always had racists, theocrats and right-wing extremists. Trump uses incendiary rhetoric and posturing to incite these people and trigger them into committing acts of violence and terror.
Trump validates the irrational hatreds and fears of America’s extremists. Trump even promotes conspiracy theories to rile them up and urge them into greater acts of violence and recklessness. Trump’s dangerously irresponsible rhetoric has served to incite those who have taken Trump’s words as a sort of permission to do what they’re doing.
Trump has a talent when it comes to triggering right-wing extremists and his accomplices over at Fox “news” give him a bullhorn through which through which he can reach millions of extremists and trigger as many of them as possible.
Trump praises and encourages acts of violence and domestic terrorism in the United States of America. Why has he not been arrested and charged for this? Are we seriously saying that Trump is somehow above the law and that he can seriously commit any crime he wants without facing any legal consequences whatsoever?
