Kasich is adding to his comments, saying that Trump created a toxic environment. All three are blaming the victim. I’m glad Trump had sense enough to cancel. You see what happened today; someone rushed the stage.
Maybe we should blame Cruz, since he never disavowed Glenn Beck’s stabbing comments if Beck got a chance to be on stage, next to Trump. He got a pass on Beck’s comments. He also claimed Trump was behind white racist robo-calls. He got a pass on this. We don’t even know if any calls were actually made.
Do you sincerely think the Beck thing is directly comparable?
For one thing, Cruz did not say the comment to which you refer. It was Beck.
But to indulge the analogy, if someone actually were to attempt to stab Trump as a result of Beck’s encouragement, Beck would ABSOLUTELY bear some measure of the blame. Just like last night’s protestors, the actual “stabber” would be the guilty party, and fully liable for legal recourse. But every honest man would chastise Beck for his inflammatory comments.
Put another way, the victim of an assault should never be blamed in a primary sense, but if a guy goes into Compton wearing a sandwich board with racial epithets on it, we would probably mention that it wasn’t a great idea (yes, that’s a shout out to Die Hard 3) when someone predictably attacks him.
What did Trump cancel?
The rally in Cincinnati is ON. Media put out false reports that it was cancelled. Will be great - love you Ohio!
