Four presidential assassinations is actually a high rate for a country only 250 years old. Add in the various attempts, and that number is extraordinarily high.
I’ve never considered that before now.
It almost sounds like Democrats have always engineered the assassinations, doesn’t it?
Abraham Lincoln - Republican
James Garfield - Republican
William McKinley - Republican
Theodore Roosevelt (attempted) - Republican
John Kennedy - Democrat
Robert Kennedy - Democrat
Gerald Ford (attempted twice) - Republican
Ronal Reagan (attempted) - Republican
Donald J. Trump - Republican
It’s the democrat way of high crime culture.
I agree with most of this analysis, except that Kennedy would have been re-elected in 1963 regardless. He still had a 58 percent approval rating at the time of his death. He was trending down, but still in a strong position a year out.
Democrats use violence as a matter of policy. It’s very evident in national politics now, and has been evident in the history of the democratic party since forever.
The attempt to assassinate Trump last week may not be directly tied to the democratic party, but, it’s directly tied to their rhetoric. People take their cures from leaders, and violent rhetoric is a trigger to hateful and deranged people. If the democratic party’s and the left-wing media’s rhetoric had not been so antagonistic and violent, there is no doubt that there would not have been an attempt to kill Trump.
Democrats always instigate them.
Lincoln
JFK (yeah, he was a democrat, but not a democRAT)
Almost Reagan
Almost Trump
They like killing people that don’t agree with them. That’s who they are.
Bkmk
Violence is intrinsic to politics, and anyone who says otherwise is an liar or unfamiliar with history.
With that said, violence should reserved as measure of last resort, but for the Democrats its their daily driver.
why they love communism and Marxism, they cant beat u by ideas they resort to violence for their ends
BTTT
They’ve always aided the Deep State.
Why do people continue to delude themselves into thinking that the letter after the name has meant anything for at least the last 100 years...
Who they are is Deep State.
What a sobering and dark history. The light of God’s truth is flickering and I fear will soon be extinguished in our nation. Our government sees those who have faith in the God of the Bible (the only true God) as terrorists and enemies of the state. We saw a spark of revival of faith just after 911. People spoke of God and our need to return to him. Many began to return to worship services. But it didn’t last. Donald Trump spoke about God’s mercy to him last night as did Tucker Carlson. We sense a ‘call’ for a return to dependence on God and a call to seek him as a nation. I pray it has more permanence this time. Evil is very entrenched and strong in our country, as this article shows, and only divine power can overcome it.
We should remember the first attempt to kill a President when an insane man tried to kill Andrew Jackson. Both his pistols failed to fire. Later tests showed nothing wrong with them and they fired OK.
The insane man was committed to an insane asylum. Sad so many of those asylums were closed in the 1970s. The mass murder rate then took off like a rocket.
Also an attempt on FDR in which the Mayor of Chicago was killed.
JFK
Bobby Kennedy.
RFK wasn’t even the party nominee, and where is Gov. Wallace if listing RFK? Wallace, a democrat, was running for the 1972 nomination.
Well,
in President Jackson’s favour, the version of the story that I read said that Mr. Jackson raised up his cane, and proceeded to beat his would-be assassin nearly to death with it. :P
A democratic presidential candidate has only carried South Dakota twice since 1889.
FDR and LBJ after the Kennedy assassination
JFK was having deep problems with race that could have cost him the election, and was costing him the South while hurting him nationally.
