Dem Sen. Murphy: ‘Only Reaction’ to Assassination Attempt ‘That Matters’ Would Be Trump Renouncing Violence
Breitbart ^ | 07/16/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 07/16/2024 5:52:36 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with MSNBC on Monday, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said that “the only reaction” to the assassination attempt on 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump “that matters here is one in which both parties denounce the use of violence in our politics.” And “I’ll keep my fingers crossed that Donald Trump will renounce violence this week. I just think I know Donald Trump, I don’t think he will do it.”

Host Rachel Maddow said, “I’m not going to insist that you join in this conversation that we were having in terms of reaction to what happened on Saturday night. I would love to hear your thoughts on that. I’d also love to hear your reaction to the selection of Sen. Vance (R-OH), one of your Senate colleagues, as Trump’s vice presidential running mate.”

They just can’t live in a world where somehow, no matter what, they are the victims.

Think of how mentally ill a person has to be to constantly celebrate perceived victims, yet denounce actual victims.

Water tower 90ft tall, 100yrds East of assassin.

No over watch?

That vantage point easily covers the area

Why is no one talking about this?

As an alternative: “So, looks like gloves are off now? Does that mean leftists are fair game?”

Pi$$ off on “violence on both sides” crappola. 99% of violence since Obama’s first term has been leftists. This is like Hamas telling everyone that we all need to calm down.

The lying so and so is creating the false premise that Trump supporters are violent.


The problem is the word ‘violent/violence’. We, being old-fashioned and unenlightened think it means causing actual physical harm to people, like shooting someone in the head for example. They, being progressive, think it means any action or lack of action, a look, a smile, even saying ‘good morning’, that might cause them to feel any tinge of unhappiness.

Years of incitement, provocation and (an actual legal term) fighting words on a political demographic where violent individuals is a statistical fact.

This needs to be addressed unlike before because of the speed and widespread capacity of electronic communications. Something the framers of the 1st amendment could have never imagined. It needs the same endangerment and responsibility regard as yelling fire in a crowded movie theater.

That is true. But in this case, Murphy is putting the lie out there that the right commits a lot of physical violence. We are going to see a lot of this.
