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."

Surely they meant “be killed”. We are aware of some rabid MAGA haters.
Ashli Babbit’s family thinks otherwise...
According to the 2020 election results thereβs only a couple dozen people who voted for Trump
I think they are confusing us with Barack Obama, who murdered the sous chef who had the goods on him and was writing a tell all book. Want to know why they are doing this, because they plan on stealing the election again, even with all the poll showing Trump would easily win, they are planning on stealing it and egging on Trump supporters to commit violence that is their plan
If Trump supporter were as dangerous as the left thinks they are, there wouldn’t be a breathing leftist on the planet.
“the former president’s rhetoric continues to become more violent.”
Come on, man...That’s like saying that guns are violent, even when they’re stored in a safe and secure location.
β Whatβs he suggest? Preemptively locking all 81 million of us up before we can all collectively go off our nut?β
That is what it sounds like.
Good ones from Newsweek today.
πππππ
That's nothing compared to what the Left will do when Trump wins re-election...
Only people like Bill Klass and people who work for Newsweek.
Are they studying the likelihood of mass killing in the big blue cities of America?
Declare marshal law in those areas where looting is prevalent. You can shoot looters on-sight
Yep. Or they have knowledge of the FIBs operations for 2024.
Keep violating the Constitution and it’s in FAFO territory.
What a Fβng moron.
+1 000 000 !
Everything they say is projection.
If you want to know what they plan, look what they accuse against MAGA.
A “small subset”...how small?
How did you get that picture of me?
