Democrats want to talk about rhetoric, but they cannot escape one damning fact.
Regardless of who uses what words, the bullets have only flown in one direction.
In the wake of Saturday’s allegedassassination attemptagainst President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois told CNN’s Pamela Brown that Trump bears special responsibility for the inflamed passions that have produced such acts of violence.
First, Brown played a clip of Trump commenting on political violence in general before blaming Democrats in particular.
Then, the CNN host asked the congressman for his comment.
“I think that definitely the rhetoric needs to cool,” Krishnamoorthi said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. “But remember his own rhetoric has inflamed the discourse in a way that we haven’t seen before.”

For more than 10 years, of course, Trump has indeed used colorful language to attack his political opponents. More often than not, the president used that language to fight back against Democrats’ outrageous slanders.
Moreover, in many cases, those slanders have had sinister origins and purposes. When they called him a Russian agent, for instance, Democrats had already laid the groundwork for a “treasonous conspiracy” that included the manufacturing of intelligence to perpetuate a hoax that undermined the first Trump administration.
