[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.

Fair Game.

L. Moron abandoned "fair game" almost immediately but the code is the far more sui generis "fair play" ever since.
