Donald Trump was inches away from joining Kennedy and Lincoln Saturday but Republicans are refusing to walk back the policies they put in place that give guns to people who carry out such actions. Thom Hartmann asks why aren't Republicans and the GOP fighting against the violent rhetoric and policies that allowed for Saturday's events to take place. - Aired on 07/15/2024.

1. Because the GOP loves the violence.

They love the cruelty.

And they love the money and votes they get advocating for guns over people.

2. Clearly not the "party of Lincoln" anymore (though they like to say it)

Nor is it even the party of Reagan who supported immigration, was extremely tough on Russia ("Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" ) and along with the other living former presidents (Carter and Ford) supported President Clinton's efforts to pass the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.

3. It is the party of Putin, Stalin, Hitler.

4. More guns will be sold, not fewer.
