With such disturbing attacks directed at President Trump and his supporters, surely the media and Democrats are lowering their heated rhetoric and asking for calm. Unfortunately, exactly the opposite has occurred.
On MSNBC, the Commerce Secretary for the Biden administration, Gina Raimondo, said “How did we get here? Let’s extinguish him for good. We have an answer. We have a remarkably talented candidate who is sincere, who’s pragmatic, who’s open. Let’s just get it done.”
What does she mean by “extinguish?” U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) blasted her remarks on social media, posting “Democrats keep using disgusting and dangerous language like this even after TWO assassination attempts on Donald Trump.”
In a recent interview, President Trump addressed the threats, noting, “Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country, both from the inside and out.”
President Trump is right, but his detractors will not stop. In Los Angeles last weekend, Trump’s head was kicked around as a soccer ball at an art gallery exhibit. At another Los Angeles art gallery, a nude statue of President Trump featuring severed genitals was on display.
The project was included in the gallery’s American Punchline Exhibition, which “examines the intersection between art and politics through a satirical lens.”
Yet, this kind of “satire” is only directed at one candidate, President Trump, and it includes the promotion of acts of violence. While some on the left may think such disgusting displays are funny, in contrast, these actions only verify how infected they have become with the disease known as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
