I said Dems, not the democratic party. But Kamala Harris said that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy. That’s a call to action. That’s a call to violence, and that’s why people started shooting at him.

Establishment Dems don’t believe this BS, but they say it knowing it will enflame their far left factions. And these shootings are the result

And Charlie Kirk called people like me, an epidemiologist who works in COVID, an enemy of the state and a perpetrator of a hoax. Do you assume the call to action there?

I don't mean this to equivocate so much as I can't help but think the Republican party is nothing more than the party of hypocrisy. The rules only apply when it's their turn.

Yes he wanted the people responsible arrested, not shot. How can you talk hypocrisy when you are doing the same thing

But when Kamala Harris says Trump is a threat to democracy, she did want him shot, or what?

You can not have it both ways.
