Sen. Welch (D) was just given a softball question on CNN, and [View all]

HE BLEW IT!!!!! The question was (paraphrased) What is your response to the VP and trump saying that the majority of polical violence is on the left and blaming members of the Democratic party?

Sen. Welch did not even quote statistics that prove that false! His answer was "The person who commits the violent act is the one who should be held accountable. And all of us who are in public life, and actually all citizens with their fierce commitment to their point of view should be presenting that point of view with some respect to the people who disagree."

Sure, but the RW never does that. That's the point. And the question was directly about addressing the FALSE ATTACKS AGAINST DEMOCRATS COMING FROM TRUMP AND VANCE. I didn't hear an answer, and I can only conclude that he has no interest in defending Democrats.

This is why the press feels free to help the RW spread their BS about Democrats celebrating, being more violent, etc. No one, not even Democrats, will object even when given a clear shot to do so.
