Krishnamoorthi Points At Trump
After the latest alleged assassination attempt tied to President Donald Trump, Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois went on CNN and made a familiar move: blame Trump first, ask questions later. When host Pamela Brown asked for his reaction, Krishnamoorthi said the rhetoric needs to cool, but then argued that Trump’s own words have inflamed the political climate in a way that has not been seen before. That is a bold claim in a country where the left has spent years tossing around labels like fascist, dictator, and threat to democracy as if they were candy at a parade.
The Violence Track Record Is Ugly
The hard truth is that political violence in this era has repeatedly pointed in one direction, and it is not toward Democrats. Trump has been attacked in the press for years, but the real world danger has not come from his critics taking the high road. Instead, there has been a steady stream of hostility, threats, and in some cases direct violence aimed at conservatives. That fact matters because it cuts through the usual spin. You can argue about tone all day, but bullets do not care about cable news talking points.
The Rhetoric Game Cuts Both Ways
Krishnamoorthi tried to suggest that Trump’s low approval ratings and blunt style help fuel the anger around him. That is a convenient theory, but it ignores how often Democrats and their allies have pushed wild accusations that poison the well. From the Russia hoax to the Charlottesville smear, the left has a long record of turning every disagreement into a moral emergency. Then they act shocked when the political climate gets ugly. Funny how that works. If words matter, then the same people lecturing about civility should probably retire the nonstop doomsday act.
Trump Supporters Notice The Pattern
Conservatives have watched this play out long enough to spot the double standard. When a Democrat is threatened, the media calls it an attack on democracy. When Trump is targeted, a whole lot of voices suddenly discover the value of “context.” That is not an honest conversation. It is damage control dressed up as analysis. The facts remain uncomfortable for the left: the threats, the hate, and the violence have mostly been aimed at Republicans, and pretending otherwise does not make the pattern disappear.

UNREAL. Democrat Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi blames President Trump for the assassination attempts against him instead of blaming the left-wing lunatic shooter:
