Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump “promoted” the violent environment that brought the shootings of Minnesota lawmakers over the weekend.
Co-host John Berman said, “There was a state representative, Democratic leader of the state legislature in Minnesota killed over the weekend, a state senator shot. How would you describe the current political atmosphere in this country this morning?”
Merkley said, “I feel like Trump has really popped the lid off of the rhetoric and the the sense of hate and violence and promoted this type of an environment. It’s profoundly disturbing for all of us. We have seen increased threats across the country. You’re probably familiar with the pizza threats. We’ve seen more of that, where pizzas or other food is delivered to people’s families that they haven’t ordered, just to say from the right wing, we know who you are. We know where you live. I can tell you all of our families feel a greatly heightened sense. And just let me just say, my heart goes out to the families in Minnesota. How horrific for the whole country, but particularly we’re holding the folks in Minnesota in our hearts.”

Oh, fer Pete’s Sake. Shut UP, already! Look in a mirror!
Democrats killing Democrats and it’s Trump fault?...................
Sue the vile, communist turd for slander/liable whatever...
Lawfare his arse out of office.
Trump is now being accused of allowing the sun to rise in the east. /sarc
Make Jeff Merkley dead broke and unemployed.
Just days before MN Governor Tampon Tim Walz was calling ICE agents the Gestapo and the No Kings rallies had signs wanting to end Trump’s presidency by any means including assassination. Look in the mirror stupid.
It’s all projection as usual.
I hope this retard gets the help he needs.
Oregon sounds like it is still electing raging morons. Sad. Used to be a nice state. Walz, Harris, Schumer, Hakeem Skyhook, Mad Maxine, and Cory Startocus are the real instigators. Merkley should know better. He’s one of them.
And by dead broke I mean dirt poor.
I guess Kathy Griffin gets a pass as well.
Preferably in a mental health facility.
Thought they celebrated killing your political enemies?
Euthanasia so he doesn’t reproduce.
“Trump Caused This” will become the official narrative of the Dems and their media buttwipes for these murders. Their base will swallow it whole without question.
Sure as night follows day a rodent would say this.
FU senator.
Murkey whishes! Term Limits Baby. Still Love may corrupt state, come on lets turn it RED!
Sick of these idiots
