Trump is now openly inciting violence against expressions of dissent by black football players

[orangecrush]

President Trump on Monday praised football fans who booed NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem on Sunday, as he continued for a fourth day his campaign to pressure team owners on the issue.

“These are fans who demand respect for our Flag!” Trump said in a series of morning tweets, also asserting that only a “small percentage” of players knelt.

How long will it be till a riot breaks out at an NFL game because of this asshole?


This is straight out of the third reich.

1. Trump is a white supremacist

2. I keep hoping

to wake up from this nightmare.

3. Please point to, or quote, the "openly inciting violence"

or alter your headline.

We all know Trump has openly incited violence, in a number of circumstances. Please don't use that phrase lightly, when referring to supporting fans who verbally disagree with the protessts. (The strongest "incitement" I can find in the linked article.)

4. getting booed is expected at games

Being beaten is not an expectation

[Ms. Toad]

5. That doesn't answer the request.

Where did Trump encourage beating up people at games? I am asking for a link because I have not seen anything suggesting he did more than agree with those who were booing.

If there is not more, it is irresponsible to suggest that he was inciting violence.

6. There is no link.

The orange fool suggested nothing of the kind.

[Ms. Toad]

10. I was pretty sure he hadn't -

but trying to give the OP the benefit of the doubt that the OP might have seen something I didn't.

12. Was what Trump did to Katie Tur

Inciting violence?

He didn't tell his brownshirts to attack her directly, it was in the tone of his voice and all the Trumptards heard the dog whistle.

She was afraid for her life and got a multitude of death threats.

But you already knew that.

[Ms. Toad]

15. It is still not openly inciting violence

but it is orders of magnitude closer than the NFL situation, since he was targeting a specific individual member of the media who was present in a crowd he knew was already angry at the media, and whom he had repeatedly previously personally attacked.

8. He didn't directly, but he knows his audience.

And encouraging a mob to boo and scream can quickly escalate.

It may be too subtle for you, but some of us see it.

[Ms. Toad]

9. It is not a matter of subtle v. not subtle - it is a matter of truth.

The OP claimed "openly inciting violence."

Openly inciting violence means expressly encouraging violent acts (as he has done in the past), not agreeing with people booing.

There is enough that he is doing to be outraged about. We should not be using inflammatory language when it is not accurate or warranted.

11. Thank you

I'm glad someone has eyes to see it.

7. We need a less divisive issue: #StandAgainstPussyGrabbers

Something everyone can rally around. Well, almost everyone, a dotard or two excepted.
