Durbin: ‘People Feel They Have License’ to Engage in Attacks Because of White House

Shortened title.

Full title: Durbin: ‘People Feel They Have License’ to Engage in Attacks Because of Rhetoric From the White House

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) stated that the Poway, CA synagogue shooting is domestic terrorism, and people feeling they have license to engage in such attacks “has really been fomented because of the rhetoric that we’re hearing from the White House.”

Durbin said, “This is domestic terrorism. Let’s call it for what it is. Had there been someone from the Middle East involved in this, someone with a green card involved in this, can you imagine the alerts that would have come out from the White House about the threats of terrorism to the United States? And yet this president does just the opposite. With a wink and a nod, he says to these nationalists and supremacists, you know, I know they’re just trying to protect the statues of Robert E. Lee.”

After co-host John Berman responded that Trump condemned the synagogue shooting, Durbin stated, “Of course he did. And he should have. But the point I’m getting to is, why do these people feel they have license now to attack synagogues, to attack [Sikh] temples, to attack churches across the United States? This has really been fomented because of the rhetoric that we’re hearing from the White House.”

and I guess when four cops were assassinated in Dallas that was because Obama allowed it to happen right Dicky Durbin..or when 26 kids were murdered in Sandy Hook, I guess that was Obama’s fault too right Dicky

Given the shooter’s beliefs and inclinations, it would look far more like the license granted to Antifa, and the perpetual hysterical invective hurled at Trump (comparing him to the worst of war-criminals) in particular and conservatives in general would be a clearer match.

If I can hear properly that ignorant congresswoman that kept saying Impeach, Impeach, get in their faces, don't let them eat.... is the type that indites violence. What about Antifa and the KKK, democrat based all.

What rhetoric from the White House incites attacks on Jews? There is none.

The Democrat Farrakhan girls foment violence.

Durbin is just a tool in the Democrat messaging machine.

No, deranged people think they have the right to use violence because of the incendiary charges and headlines bombarded on us daily by the mainstream and alt-left media

The press has made Trump a monster, what do they expect lunatics to do?
All 3 shooters in past 6 months had TDS manifestos

Dems are the Anti Semites who just this weekend printed a second Jew hating cartoon, just after their half heart-ed
apology for the first rotten cartoon.

Dems have several loud mouth Muzzies spewing anti Jew rhetoric, and Durban blames Trump - LOL

Eight years of pro fakestinian , pro Iran Obama, Dems are lucky their Jewish supporters are brain washed Kapos

Or when gun control advocates Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed their schoolmates at Columbine High School twenty years ago this month. Bet they took their marching orders from Bill Clinton and Janet Reno on that one, eh?

Not only nasty, it’s completely illogical.

It’s obviously co-ordinated, I saw another post where Joy Behar said the same thing.

President Trump is a truth teller who embroiders a bit, but the truth of what this President is saying is always there...you can’t say the same for Dick Durbin who uses ambiguous and deceptive language to pull the wool over progressive party heads....

Eight years of Bush’s fault. Nobody is responsible for what they do as long as there is some republican to blame.

Let’s also not forget when Democrats killed Lincoln and then nearly 100 years later JFK.

Omar says the Jews are controlling America and Durbin’s party refuses to denounce her.

Cortez agreed with Omar and blames their political meddling as the reason America is in bad shape (and inferring that Jewish support of Trump is the problem.)

Again, Durbin AND his party refuse to denounce either of them or their message.

So now some Trump hating punk shoots up a synagogue blaming the Jews and their political control and Durbin has the audacity to blame Trump for hateful rhetoric?

STFU Durbin - it’s your party spewing the hate and the one that needs to be barred from ever holding office again.

Durbin needs to supply examples of the ‘rhetoric from the White House’ or just shutup.

Durbin is, in effect, saying: Hey, if you want to bomb churches, just follow the advice President Trump is handing out.
