Between sobs he promised a crackdown against Democrats and liberals. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio claimed conservatives were being hunted. MAGA nuts nationwide are flooding social media platforms promising some terrible purge against Charlie Kirk detractors.
Can we back up for a moment?
First, today is a day of Remembrance for the victims that died during the deadliest assault ever on American soil by a foreign actor. During the memorial event Trump touched on the events of 911 before launching into a eulogy for Charlie Kirk.
Second, Charlie Kirk was no saint despite the right's efforts to canonize him. I urge my readers to do their own research on Kirk and to decide if he was a uniter or divider. Meanwhile Trump ordered all flags at half-mast yesterday in his honor. Personally, I see that move as an abomination. Are we going to start doing that for every MAGA moron who dies? It's a terrible look.
Just a few months ago Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered when a conservative wingnut dressed up as a cop. When they answered the front door, he shot them point blank. Vance Boelter was indicted for what Gov. Tim Walz said was "a politically motivated assassination."
While Trump called for an end to politically violence following Kirk's assassination he did not recognize or acknowledge the recent threats, violent attacks and killing of Democrats. There was no flying the American flag at half-mast or a posthumous Presential Medal of Freedom for Hortman. We all know why.
Based upon his history Trump will politicize the tragic event to further encroach upon our freedoms by demonizing Democrats.
News Alert:
As I'm writing this (4 p.m. Eastern Time) there is a potential bomb threat at DNC headquarters as Capitol Police respond. DNC staff were asked to remain clear of the building located on South Capitol Street in Southwest D.C. Authorities have surrounded the building and nearby area.
Update: No bomb was found according to Capitol Hill Police who reported their Threat Assessment Section will be working with their federal partners to find the person who sent the false bomb threat.
I'm also willing to bet that Trump downplays the seriousness of a bomb in DNC Headquarters. It doesn't take a mastermind to guess who made the bomb threat so soon after Kirk's death.
Meanwhile some historically Black Colleges and Universities are on lockdown after receiving reports of threats against them. I'm no detective but the connection between the DNC Headquarters bomb scare, and the bomb threats against black colleges are suspicious timing.
As it Stands, Americans better buckle up for the violent days ahead when the two party's clash on the streets and in Congress.
