Political analyst Brian Klaas warned on Sunday that a small subset of Donald Trump's supporters are "highly likely" to try and kill people ahead of the 2024 presidential election, as the former president's rhetoric continues to become more violent.
Trump is currently among the packed field of candidates seeking the 2024 GOP presidential nomination as part of his bid to retake the White House. Trump's lead is considered to be so strong, that many observers have dismissed the forthcoming Republican primary process as a formality.
Amid his reelection campaign, Trump's public comments have also become increasingly laced with hints and outright suggestions of violence, setting off a new wave of concern from his critics. In a Truth Social post, Trump trashed Mark Milley suggested that his interactions with Chinese officials amounted to "treason," claiming that "in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!" He also recently claimed that he would support legislation to allow business owners and employees to shoot shoplifters on sight in "places where there's a true breakdown in the rule of law."
"It's the biggest story of the 2024 election, but it's not being treated as that in the press," Klaas said. "I think that's a real failing, because it has become the banality of crazy incitement to violence, this sort of normalcy and routine of Trump saying things that could get people killed. You have him suggesting that you could execute America's top general. On Friday night, you had him joking about Paul Pelosi [husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi] being attacked and the crowd laughed when he referenced an 82-year-old man being hit over the head with a hammer."

They(we know who they are) have it entirely backwards. And as usual, are projecting their own plans onto their enemies.
Wishful belief. Also part of the special op.

What’s he suggest? Preemptively locking all 81 million of us up before we can all collectively go off our nut?
It’s “highly unlikely” Newsweak can be taken seriously anymore.
Oh really? How? It is sad that there are people who would believe this line of crap from Newsweek.
Ted Bundy worried about potential victims fighting back.
the idiot’s comments at the article are somewhat unsettling how these people gobble up anything MSM tells them without thought.

Can you feel the PROJECTION?
The only real killers are Democrats.
The casualties by the lefts heretic on the conservative side is far higher than on yours.
Did you forget the shooter at the Dem-Rep baseball game was a barking moonbat?
Versus ANTIFA & BLM who have already killed people??
Political anal list asshole Brian Klaas
Wow.
My first reaction was laughter, but they will stop at nothing, and they never stop, do they?
Correct, this is nothing more than a democrat/deep state psyop perpetuated by the MSM.
Facts say to the contrary.
I can think of two people killed because the were Trump supporters.
Zero that were Biden voters.
And don’t forget all the Republicans attacked by Antifa thugs.
This is an outrageous report.
