Donna Brazile: A crucial reminder that political opponents aren’t enemies
The Hill ^ | 07/19/2024 | DONNA BRAZILE

Posted on 07/19/2024 12:50:43 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, which thankfully left him with only a small wound to his ear, horrified me and reminded me of two assassinations that changed my life in 1968 when I was only eight.

I was shocked when my hero, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., was shot dead in Memphis in April. Crying myself to sleep and praying for his family, I promised myself I would devote my life to the Civil Rights Movement and to making America a more just and equitable society for everyone.

Nothing I have done can compare with King’s historic achievements, but I have tried to do my small part to follow in his footsteps.

Just weeks after the King assassination, I was shocked again when another hero, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) was gunned down in Los Angeles on the night he won the California Democratic presidential primary in June.

I was a college student in my final year at LSU when a gunman seriously wounded President Ronald Reagan in an assassination attempt in 1981. There’s no doubt these events shaped my early interest in American politics.

Well, this is better to hear than all the Trump is Hitler memes.

See if Donna ever recants this, and decides that Trump is indeed Hitler,

Would the democrats hire a reporter who was caught giving advanced information about debate questions to a republican candidate?

She’s always been a mainstream-ish Clinton Democrat. Not MSNBC type.

She’s right, and the first Dem that I know of to point out the significance of the attempt.

The money quote:

"I hope the assassination attempt against Trump allows him to tone down his rhetoric. But as we all witnessed in one of the longest acceptance speeches in American history, Trump will always be Trump. Spewing lies, pointing fingers and playing the victim all in an attempt to divide, deceive and demonize others."

Which negates the title of the article.

Donna is OK with massive voter fraud and debate rigging—but she draws the line at assassination.

That is what passes for “high moral standards” with Democrats.

Ummmm.
When one side constantly breaks land speed records in a blatant attempt to legally and/or illegally make the other side end up either enslaved or dead?
I’d file that under, “Enemy actions.”

It reminds me I need to buy some pancake mix and syrup.

Thanks for the reminder that Donna Brazille was the DNC chair during the 2016 primary fraud that stole the nomination from Bernie and gave it to Hillary.

I wish Donna Brazile would write an article thoroughly detailing her interactions with Seth Rich during the month of July, 2016.

Donna, turn away from your sins and come home to the Catholic Church of your youth.

I can think of more credible sources of ethical advice than the one who shamelessly leaked the debate questions to Hillary in '16. All this really means is that she doesn't want to pay the political cost of past Democrat enmity. That isn't something that can be papered over with pious assertions of good will from the people who have been plunging daggers into the backs of everyone within reach.

Free the J6 political prisoners, indict the murderers of Ashli Babbbitt and Rosanne Boyland, and drop all phony charges against Trump, and perhaps we can begin to discuss reconciliation.
