Quite a different take when democrat lawmakers and their spouses were killed and wounded.

Most of the violent rhetoric and actual political violence is coming from the right, not the left.

Still, I don't care. It's wrong no matter who perpetrates it or why. More than that, it is destabilizing and encourages only more retribution in kind.
 
It's very easy. When Democrats are killed it's a good thing, and when MAGAs are killed it's a bad thing. Not very hard to figure out the rules.
 
It is the difference between celebrity and political figure. I believe there are more parasocial relationships with the former than the latter.

They had a huge boost in numbers from J6, which was a violent illegal lies-based attack on the nation's foundation. Now they are not just off the page, they are off the page by miles, and well into fascist cult territory.
 

Nope, that article doesn’t provide any evidence of “victim blaming” by Mike Lee, but did note his false depiction of the perp as being a “Marxist”.

Has the mango mussolini ever acknowledged the killings?
 
And I ask..... how many MAGA were upset by the police deaths from the January 6 coup attempt?

Certainly Donald Trump wasn't ever upset, and pardoned all the convicted perpetrators.
 
Nice whataboutism, but that has nothing to do with what Mike Lee said. BTW, failing to comment on something isn’t condoning or supporting it.
Sure it does. Quite the difference from the wingnuts when democrats are killed and wounded.

You have yet to show (quote?) any “victim blaming” by Mike Lee.

 
The fine senator from Utah blamed the victims in that case. Hypocritical bullshit from the wingnuts as usual.
You noticed that, eh?

Not that the right gives a shit. They stopped acknowledging their hypocrisies about 10 years ago.

Does anyone know what Kirk said about Hortman's assassination? I couldn't find anything.

Why yes he had.
Will there be anything else?

It is true that he didn't blame the victim, but his belittling of the murder was so absurdly insensitive it even upset his fellow Republicans.
 
Mike Lee is an unmitigated douche.
Which is really interesting because when Adam Kinzinger was in Congress he has said that he knew Mike Lee and he seemed normal.

So was he acting then or is he acting now?
 
Does the right now have buyers' remorse? This is where we are because of the J6 attack on this country based on the lies and crimes of their criminal leader. Seriously, they don't get it?
 
Oh look at you. DP's own little Matthew Dowd.
I guess I hit a sore spot pointing out how wingnuts respond to violence against people they don't agree with. Hypocrisy at its finest. The fascists can go **** themselves.
