290. Stop the "both sides" rhetoric! Republicans own the domain on calling for political violence

When it comes to actual leadership, there is no "both sides" argument to make about calls for and celebrations of political violence. As I mention here, this is all republican territory. People on the liberal side in social media spaces have indeed expressed violent ideas, but not the democratic politicians themselves. And it starts from the top with #Trump. Notice how some say we need to tone things down but never say his name? Any talk of toning rhetoric down that doesn't start with Trump is not an honest conversation to have. Both republicans and democrats and other political parties have experienced violence over the years. The scale, however, does matter and it's not even close. #mikelee #senatormikelee #upstander #elonmusk #johnhoffman #vanceboelter #melissahortman #minneapolis #mikejohnson #danbongino #kashpatel #stevebannon #stephenmiller #bystander #bystandereffect STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
