It is actually Donald Trump who is invoking government to throttle free speech when his side argues that their right to peaceably assemble gives them the right to censor speech. Unfortunately, Donald Trump censors speech by encouraging violence.
Where's the outrage about the real violence and real incitement that was perpetrated by organized collectivist thugs against peaceable rally attendees, to the point where these criminals infringed on the Right of the People to Peaceably Assemble?
The hypocrisy of the Left, the Establishment, and the Mass Media is truly breathtaking. And, unfortunately, the trailing GOP candidates piled on, along with some of their supporters.
Every GOP candidate just gave lip service to the real violence, to the real threat, which should have been the primary focus of the outrage.
PC considerations aside, Donald Trump does not yet have a perfected concept of the traditional boundaries of political rhetoric.
Compared to the organized, subversive violence coming from the thugs, Donald Trump's flippant remarks totally pale in comparison.
Does anyone honestly think that Ted Cruz, with his ostensible lack of inflammatory rhetoric, won't be targeted by these organized disruptors?
Because if so, that means Cruz's statement on Friday night was hypocritical, opportunist, and weak.
And if anybody doesn't think these same left wing criminal elements would disrupt a Ted Cruz rally, I can't imagine why.
This is all just systematic character assassination against Donald Trump. Even stipulating to every accusation against him (the vast majority of which are distorted and spun) Donald Trump remains the target of a political witch hunt. We're in the midst of a diabolical campaign of demonization which far exceeds any rhetorical missteps Donald Trump has made.
Let the People decide, and let the chips fall where they may.
But not with character assassination fomented by the Establishment. Our owners are playing with fire...
