[snip] In an interview with Steve Schmidt, a founder of the disgraced Lincoln Project, asked whether the country has a “rhetoric problem” in light of multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, Schmidt pointed squarely at Trump:
“I think that there's one person, beyond and above all others, who's responsible for poisoning the rhetoric in America. And that guy's name is Donald Trump . . . He's an insurrectionist, the foremost domestic enemy of the Constitution in American history. He is a vile and disgusting man. A convicted sex predator, and likely a pedophile.”
Steve, we've got your "vile and disgusting man" right here.
But on Sunday morning, a very different explanation emerged on CNN.
Appearing on special coverage, CNN security analyst and former Secret Service agent Jonathan Wackrow did not point to Trump. Instead, he described what he called an “assassination culture”—a decentralized, digitally driven phenomenon in which grievance and ideology are reinforced in online echo chambers.

Yeah well they are called the Pedo Project for a reason
It is not just online validation.
This guy was part of a club , formal or informal, like the tranny ir LGBTQ gun clubs that call themselves the “John Brown Gun Club,” “Rose City Antifa,” etc. In his case they called themselves the Wideawakes.
That is not the name a bunch of guys interested in hunting and the 2nd amendment would think up. It is not a name a gun rights group like the NRA - looking for as many gun rights supporters as it can no matter the gender or party - would think up either, it is just a purely one sided political group using the 2nd amendment with intent to destroy it.
He may have met them online, or he may have met them while in school, or while volunteering for some organization, or to be more conspiratorial, he may have been honey-potted into this by a female associate trained to take advantage of young naive males’ hormonal needs.
He seems similar to the J6 agitator Sullivan who created Insurgence USA, only the tutor/engineer seems much , much more naive. Sullivan was accompanied by a woman with a connection to Vietnam. or more like the Charlie Kirk assassin, trying to please his choice of mate.
How many times did a “RIGHT-WINGER” attempt to assassinate Hussein Obama or Joseph ByeDone?
You said it, brother.
Really means democrats
These Democrats and their ilk are insane. Even going back to John Wilkes Booth. Nothing has changed with them.
Who watches television?
Assassination culture. Just another bs term that they’ve made up. Lefties think they’re saints and can’t believe that a lot of them are rotten people.
Musta been watching “Hassan Piker”. Pay attention to “micro-looting” as the new fad. (Same ol shoplifting with a new label).
This will continue as long as the”anything goes” crowd gets fed.
You are such a condescending twat
You must be an academic.
“There’s no real debate over.....says you.
.
the fact that the USA is a very violent culture,
....oh bull shit,,,I suppose Oct 7th and Islamic convert or die and blame the rape victim of the last 1400 years of Islam is the ideal to be compared to ?,
or the millions murdered by their own leaders like Stalin, hitler, Castro, pol plot, aka communist cultures,,, you’re disgusting...
and always has been. The whole frontier identity we have applauds violence.
Dimestore book frontier type culture,?, dimestore fiction promoted by media may applaud it but no one else applauds violence except academia and media...
Just look at the movies, novels, games, and TV shows popular in our culture;.....like I said media,,academia,,,and more media ,,,not to be confused with Judeo Christian culture ya puke..
nearly all of them depict serious violence as a rational choice to solve a problem.”... gaslight hypocritical accusations said only by demented Marxists, academics !, and repeated in legion media
Tell me again you aren’t employed in academia or media or some leftist traitor org or NGO like the SPLC.
Spit.
Tis true, I do at times find validation online - for political POV, not murders.
I also find some conservative POV I do not agree with. To include right here on Free Republic.
I have no credentials of any sort but am of the opinion the liberal hate chatter online attracts a lot of people, younger people in particular. Slogans, signs, memes, hate speech they can be a ‘me too’ part of ‘cause “my friends and classmates are doing it.” The sort that believe everything they read.
CNN Culture, Assassination Culture. What’s the diff?
Gee, did Steve Schmidt write the assassins screed?
That sounds just like the assassin.
Could you please elaborate on that? What, exactly, doe Scientologists embrace as "fair play?" Have little familiarity with those kooks, and the Wikipedia page doesn't mention "fair play."
Regards,
“foot soldiers of our democracy ”
This is going to get ugly, fast.
Only one segment of our nation’s population is systemically violent! Take that 13% out of the stats and our population is as peaceful as rural Scandinavia.
Prove me wrong.
I see that you added an extra “c,” “m,”, and “d” to Steve’s last name.
