MSNBC Host Katy Tur got a little testy with conservative commentator Erick Erickson, who dared to bring up that the Left has become unspooled since Donald Trump's upset win over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Over the past few days, 13 devices that look like bombs have been mailed to prominent Democrats, including former presidents, and celebrities. We just had an arrest in Florida, but we don't know what their political leanings are, if any, or a motive. We don’t know. Yet, the liberal news media know exactly who it is: Donald Trump…and his supporters. We’re to blame for the Left becoming so mind-numbingly stupid over the past two years. And that goes double for the media. Erickson merely said that both sides need to calm down, and that Trump didn’t start the insanity that has been brewing for months during his presidency. That’s when Tur lost it (Via The Hill):
“It’s pretty clear when you’re talking about this toxic political environment, that it did start with, mostly with, Donald Trump,” Tur said, noting many of Trump's statements during his 2016 presidential campaign. Among others, she pointed to the repeated "lock her up" chants that target former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Erickson attempted to chime in by referencing a past statement from former President Obama. But Tur quickly interrupted, asking Erickson to let her finish.
“Let me finish, this is my show," she said.
“Have you ever heard a politician other than Donald Trump say I’m so proud, or give a kudos to another politician who body-slammed a reporter? Have you heard that from anybody else other than Donald Trump?" she asked, referring to Trump's recent rally in Montana.
Erickson responded that "Trump is a symptom of what’s going on in this country," before adding that the president was not responsible for the incident in which a man shot at multiple U.S. lawmakers while they conducted a baseball practice in Washington, D.C., last year.
"Both sides are to blame, and if you’re going to say it’s just Donald Trump, what you’re going to do is you’re going to have 50 percent of the country that says, you know what she’s not really interested in a solution," Erickson added.
Tur then concluded the segment by saying, “I think everybody needs to take responsibility for their own actions."
"But to say it didn’t get lowered, that the bar did not get demonstrably lower when Donald Trump started running for office, is just not true and it’s offensive,” Tur said.
Now that the suspected bombing suspect has been caught in Florida, you know this narrative is about to be jacked up on steroids. It’s crap. While not acceptable in any stretch of the imagination, none of these devices went off. We’re lucky on that end, yes—but none of them went off and no one was injured. On the Left, James Hodgkinson, a far left, pro-Bernie Sanders activist, grabbed a rifle and opened fire on congressional Republicans practicing for the annual baseball game in 2017. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was shot and could have died. It was a mass assassination attempt. In 2018, Minnesota GOP candidates have been assaulted. The spokesperson for the Minnesota Democratic Party said that Republicans should go to the guillotine. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have been harassed by mob-like behavior. Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Democrats should kick Republicans. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has egged on her supporters to harass Trump officials. Oh,and let's not forget the ricin letters sent to Secretary of Defense James Mattis or the death threats hurled at Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).
Yet, here’s the point: don’t lecture me about turning down the rhetoric when you people have become unspooled because your gal didn’t win an election. Also, Left Wing America, you fired first…with an actual gun…and people were injured, a handful critically injured. So, spare us your “thank God for me” attitude. It’s nauseating. Yeah, you did your job as a reporter, I guess, but so did millions of other Americans yesterday, today, and tomorrow. No one trusts you, so stare into the camera and go on a lecture about how conservative media is to blame, Trump is to blame, and his supporters are to blame. We know your history of burying attacks on GOP candidates. We know your history of attacks against Republicans. We’ll just ignore you, which is exactly what I’ going to do. Thank God I can change the channel, or hit the mute button.
If you want to talk about "overheated rhetoric" now but weren't interested in that conversation after a Democrat attempted a mass assassination of GOP congressmen, nearly killing one in the process, excuse me if I can't take you at all seriously. You're a shill and a fraud.— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) October 26, 2018
“Pentagram-wearing hair-dresser delivers roundhouse kick to face of peaceable protestor”
This happened in Canada, but there have been other physical attacks against pro-lifers on American soil, plus we have the state government of California trying to bring charges against those who used time-tested practices of investigative journalism to expose Planned Parenthood selling baby body parts. Same thing in Houston. Rather than charge the murderers and human traffickers with their crimes against humanity, they charge those exposing them and, at minimum, run up their legal bills.
You left off the persecution, death threats, and reckless slander and blood libel directed at a sitting judge who was the nominee for the vacant seat on the Supreme Court. Of course, it would fill this forum and overload the server to enumerate all of the crimes of the left, even just the recent ones.
Katy Tur?
More like Catty Turd.
Actually, she’s another leftist ferule cat, spewing turds.
I had totally forgotten about that one.
Gonna add that one to my Bob Tur collection.
I’ve got a similar one already. Tells ya quite a bit about “Inside Edition”.
Nope, that’s daddy before he became mommy 2.
[Ms. Tur is just proving the point.]
Yes
[ No, Stop, No: MSNBC Host Goes Nuts When Confronted With Past Examples Of Violent Left Wing Rhetoric ]
Democrats and Liberals get very upset when not allowed their free-flowing propaganda. Especially when it’s interrupted with inconvenient and pesky facts. They have to keep the lies going to keep their followers and friends stupid and uninformed.
OK.
With further checking I find that not only does she have a trans-faggot Father, and a radical Spaz boyfriend in Keef Ogre-man, she also is a amazon standing 6’-3”!
Wow really tall.
The K.O. really makes me want to puke. Just like “Zoey”.

The Truth Hurts, as true today as when I first heard it when I was a kid 60 Years ago.
No they're not!
How do you lump peaceful Christian conservatives, normal working families, and Chamber of Commerce types in with that bunch of whacked-out haters?
The baby-killing RATs alone can wear this.
In addition to the violent antiFA and BLM thugs, the Nazis, the Soviets and the Pol Pots of the world, Janet Reno, Weasely Clark of Waco fame and the Butcher of Benghazi, this shooter is a Green Party leftist and a maniacal murdering mozlum.
He's no more of a "Republican" than David Duke.
I forgot to mention the Klan-RATs.
Left-wing rhetoric??? The hell. You ever heard of Antifa? Berserkely, Oakland, Portland?
Katy Tur is just a little turd in a large cesspool who thinks that by becoming a bigger turd she is going to be somebody people listen to and respect.
Let’s face it Katy, a turn is a turn no matter what size it is, and if left out in the sun long enough (i.e. studio lights), will stink even more.
I think that Eric Erickson should wear a gas mask the next time he talks to you because, by then, you will be pretty ripe, even for a little turd.
Luv and Flushes,

#2. Nice list but as Roy Schneider said in “Jaws”, “You’re gonna nice a bigger list to record all the Leftist attacks”.
Katy Tur is the most unqualified ‘reporter’ in the business.
She was chosen to cover Trump when it was thought he had no chance.
And that’s her only claim to fame LOL!
#5. Re the photo of the turd and the chopper.
In Vietnam we were told to keep our heads down when entering and existing a helicopter, esp. when it was powering down and the blades began to droop.
The next time Turd is next to a working chopper, don’t anyone say a thing.
If you wants to get ahead in this business by being a nasty bitch, then let her get a head with a whirlybird.
Singing, “Merrilee we roll along”.

Started long ago when a disciple of Saul Alinsky (HRC) came to Washington DC. Has gotten worse and worse.
Polite discussion with increasingly Psycho Liars using ridicule was a losing and ineffective strategy.
Along came Trump 30 years later, and when they ridicule he blasts right back, showing how you counter these raging maniacs.
I love it!!! It’s just like that John Wayne Movie, where he says someone outa sock you in the mouth, but I won’t. The audience is sitting there and thinking please give the “pilgrim” what he deserves.
So then Wayne slugs the guy and they all wind up in the mud - SCHADENFREUDE-been waiting 30 years for someone to stand up to all this nonsense.
