Reaction to Shitler's threat from Dems?

I googled it but haven't found any official statements from any of our more prominent members. Any DUers heard anything? Thanks in advance!

Someone should be shouting it out and demanding the Republicans condemn Trump's remarks. Put the onus on them for a change.

I hope our leaders are huddling together now and taking this very seriously. At a minimum this is a sign of mental illness and unfitness for office and at worse, the stirring of a civil war "pot".

Real action needs to be taken if for no other reason than to send a strong message but that would not be enough, imho.

Without meaning to criticize Speaker Pelosi, I think he's suddenly made himself "worth it".
