Civility? Unity? No, Struggling Kamala Ratchets Up Rhetoric To Assassination-Attempt Levels
Daily Caller ^ | October 24, 2024 | John Loftus - Editor at Large

Posted on 10/25/2024 6:56:57 AM PDT by Red Badger

Whatever happened to all the calls for civility and cooled-down political rhetoric in the wake of the two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump?

Wait, weren’t we supposed to come together as a nation, as Joe Biden and Kamala urged, to stop inspiring acts of political violence, especially during such a fraught election year? Harris said as much in September after a deranged pro-Ukraine fanatic, Ryan Routh, allegedly nearly took out Trump at his Mar-a-Lago golf course.

“I am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump today. As we gather the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more to violence,” Harris said Sept. 15.

After the first attempt on Trump’s life back in July, Harris also called for unity and urged Americans to “embrace a robust discussion of what is at stake in this election.”

“There must be unity around the idea that while our nation’s history has been scarred by political violence, violence is never acceptable. There can be no equivocation about that,” Harris said at the time. “At the same time, the hallmark of American democracy, the hallmark of any democracy, is a strong competition of ideas, policies, and a vision for the future.”

“Just as we must reject political violence, we must also embrace a robust discussion about what is at stake in this election,” the vice president added.

Harris released a statement Wednesday on The Atlantic’s story on Trump and the former president’s alleged comment about Hitler’s generals. This time, she dialed up the heated rhetoric despite her previous calls for unity and more civility, likening Trump himself to Hitler.

“In just the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the ‘enemy from within’ and even said that he would use the United States military to go after American citizens. And let’s be clear about who he considers to be the enemy from within. Anyone who refuses to bend a knee or dares to criticize him would qualify, in his mind, as the enemy within, like judges, like journalists, like nonpartisan election officials,” she said.

“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans.”

The vice president also called Trump a “fascist” during a CNN town hall Wednesday.

“You quoted General Milly calling Trump a fascist. You yourself have not used that word to describe him. Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” host Anderson Cooper asked.

“Yes I do,” Harris replied. “And I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted.”

It’s pretty clear at this point that Harris and other Democrats do not care at all about the consequences of their rhetoric, despite all their hollow lamentations in September and July. I hate to say it, but with each suggestion that Trump is a fascist, a dictator, Hitler reincarnated, they might as well be painting a target on the former president’s back.

The Hildabeast said Trump rally goers are like Nazis at Nuremberg.

A gay guy used to tell me “You’re gay you just don’t know it.”

Now it’s “You’re a Nazi you just don’t know it.”

You know, I’m not much for payback but if and or when DJT is elected he needs to give these people a taste of their own medicine......he let cankles off after practically campaigning on locking her up.

These demons need to understand getting harassed is a two way street.

Our side isn’t into retribution, but if something happens to Trump, that might be the trigger. The left is way to bold, they need to be knocked down a stairwell a few floors.

Just kidding...That’s why I’m noting the addresses of homes with Harris signs. After Trump wins I will know who needs to be rounded up and taken to education camps. Just kidding.

This last few weeks have been enough to bring the evil witch and her Igortistic sidekick, Tiny Timmy, out of the closet. The Media has created a new Frankenstein monster.

Trump,is indicating he might pardon hunter if elected apparently- but that is the difference between Trump and demons on the left- he is merciful and extends grace to those who don’t in the least deserve it, while the left want to absolutely destroy and 8mprison their opponents.

It always amazes, I listen to the talking points from these people and realize what they are saying - They are always talking about themselves and their own ideals - amazing.

A Solzhenitsyn quote comes to mind...

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang on the door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
