"Heated Rhetoric"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar
BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens?

RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind?

BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

Spare me the “poor Trump is a victim of left-wing rhetoric” nonsense. No other President before him attacked Americans the way he does on a daily basis! A Judges’s house has been blown up, Melissa Hortman & her husband murdered, Violence against immigrants has increased 900% since his last campaign, Judges & Members of Congress get daily threats on their lives and their families lives. Trump is a stochastic terrorist. No one uses more “heated rhetoric” than he does!

Partial list of Trump attacks:

Obama: accuses him of treason, trying to "steal the election,” and accuses him of spying on MOC via FISA warrants (that GOP Congress just tried to re-up in the middle of the night).

Biden: accuses him and his entire family of crimes, falsely claims he stole the 2020 election, accused him of treason.

Kamala Harris: calls her "mentally impaired," "disabled," and "born that way,” “low IQ.” Claims she is a threat to the country.

Liz Cheney: called for her to be sent to military tribunals.

Adam Schiff: Shifty Adam Schiff" and "crooked," saying he should be "brought to justice" for alleged fraud.

Nancy Pelosi: “Enemy from within,” implied military action could be needed against her and other political opponents. Mocked the brutal beating & attempted murder of her husband.

Mark Milley: Said he should be executed for treason.

Reps Alyssa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, Maggie Goodlander, Jason Crow, Chrissy Houlahan, and Chris DeLuzio: calls them traitors" and said their actions were "punishable by DEATH".

Letitia James & Alvin Bragg: Targeted as part of a campaign of retribution, Continuously calls them "corrupt.”

The media: Calls them “enemies of the people," and “fake news,” who “should be charged with treason.”

The people who helped get him into office twice-Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones: Just two weeks ago called them "low IQ," "losers," and "nut jobs.”

The POPE: attacked the Pope for being anti-war! 

Revoked security detail from:
Anthony Fauci
John Bolton
Mark Milley
John Bolton
Hunter Biden
Ashley Biden
Kamala Harris
Mike Pompeo

Illegal Immigrants: Trump dehumanizes them constantly, calling them "savages," "animals," and "not human".

Protestors: Calls everyone who doesn’t agree with him “enemies of the people” who, “Hate America.”

Judges: Calls them activist judges and “enemies of the people,” includes their families in his attacks.

SCOTUS: Accused the Conservatives who don’t bend to his will of being an influenced by the “radical left,” calling them “bad,” “weak” and “stupid.”

No other American President has attacked Americans like this! Not one!
