The Democrat’s Insincere Condemnations of Dangerous Political Language

We’re at a tipping point in our country, if we continue with this increasingly violent rhetoric and [it] turns into action, then it really threatens not only our safety but our form of government so we have to … find a way to express our political differences in ways that don’t result in [such] terrible violence.

                                                Senator Tina Smith (D-Minnesota), 6/16/25

Trump’s tax bill “is the end of the world.  The debate on health care is like death.  This is Armageddon.”

                                                Democrat House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi, 1/11/2018

Democrats like to accuse President Trump of violating institutional democratic norms, and often he does with his rhetorical broadsides. But at least he’s never directly threatened the U.S. Supreme Court the way Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did …

They…Have to “Put a Bullet” in Donald Trump,

Frequent MSNBC guest, Rick Wilson, 11/1/22

[Trump’s] rhetoric is really getting … more and more dangerous …. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and has to be eliminated.

                        Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman (NY 10th District), 11/21/23

[Trump is] willing to sacrifice our democracy, put himself in power.  He calls those who oppose him “vermin.” He talks about the blood of Americans being poisoned, echoing the exact language used in Nazi Germany.

                                    Alleged US President Joe Biden, 5/1/25

Democrat VP Kamala Harras said Trump wants “unchecked power” and, when asked if she believed he was a “fascist” said “Yes, I do.”

                                    BBC, 10/24/24

There is a “need to look out for … everyday Americans under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda …  We’re gonna fight it legislatively, in the courts [and] in the streets,”…

Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, 1/31/25 

Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets in unmarked vans wearing masks. Being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons … and disappeared.

Democrat Minnesota Governor and Kamala Harris’ 2024 VP choice, Tim Walz, 6/12/25

[M]aybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner, …  a little more fierce. … When the bully is a child, you teach them why bullying is wrong, but when the bully is an adult like Trump, you bully… him back.  At heart, this is a weak, cruel man.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, 6/1/25

My dad … fought the Nazis in Northern Africa [and] the Italian peninsula.  I think he’s looking down right now happy that I’m fighting today’s Nazis [in the Trump administration].

Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch (Mass.), 6/12/25

If we roll [the] clock back 75 years, we’d be looking at a time in Nazi Germany where people ran around with signs, like this new ICE [Immigration Customs Enforcement] sign that says ‘report all foreign invaders to ICE’ … This could have been a Gestapo member 75 years ago,”

Democrat Rep. Kweisi Mfume, (Md.), 6/13/25

                        We’re living in a gangster state:  A corrupt monarchical system. 

Democrat Rep. James Raskin, 6/16/25

I grew up in a dictatorship [Somalia] and I don’t remember ever witnessing anything like [Trump’s America].  To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, be turned into … one of the worst countries, where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights … is really shocking.

Democrat Rep. Ilham Omar, 6/17/25

Democrats Urge People to Stop Inflammatory Rhetoric Unless It’s Against Trump, The Next Hitler Who Must Be Stopped Now

                        Babylon Bee, 6/16/25

After the recent horrific assassination of several Democrat politicians in Minnesota, it has suddenly occurred to the Democrats and the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective or DPPC (aka the “Mainstream” or “Legacy” media), to promote the impression that they believe we need to tone down the sort of inflammatory rhetoric that might lead to violence.  For example, Sen. Tina Smith of Minnesota has piously claimed that we need to find safer ways to express our political differences. 

That is touching, but one wonders if Smith is aware of the constant stream of inflammatory rhetoric coming from her own Party, for example, Nancy Pelosi’s silly apocalyptic wailing about Trump’s 2017 tax bill, that it is “death” and “Armageddon [the end of the world]”.  One may have noticed that whenever the Democrats don’t get what they want, it is the “death” itself and end of the world.  Thus, professional MSNBC charlatan and thug Rich Wilson wants to put a “bullet” in Trump.  Do the Democrats even remember that someone did just that in Butler and another kook tried to finish the job in Florida?

During one of his rare waking episodes in his alleged presidency, Joe Biden had to misquote Trump’s remarks on immigrants poisoning the blood of Americans and a “bloodbath” if he is not elected in order to convict Trump of hateful language.  I have earlier refuted Biden’s blatant dishonesty in a Conservative Daily News article (7/24/24) titled The Murderous Leftist Psychosis:

Trump’s remark about vermin and positioning the blood was not racist Hitlerian rhetoric but was explicitly about medical diseases coming across the open southern border, measlestuberculous, plague, etc.  Trump’s remark about a “bloodbath” … was not about literal bloodshed but was explicitly about an economic bloodbath in the car industry. 

But doesn’t Trump do the same?  The WSJ has it about right when it admits that Trump sometimes “violate institutional democratic norms … with his rhetorical broadsides but at least he’s never directly threatened the U.S. Supreme Court” like Senator Schumer. 

Although Trump does say some things he should not say, it is instructive that the Democrats and their media shills have to make things up to put an actual threat in his mouth.  For example, on 11/1/24, in his CNN propaganda role for the 2024 election a few days away, Jim Acosta, who actually alleges to be a “journalist”, but has since been booted by CNN, stated that “[Trump] is now saying former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney should be fired upon and have guns, quote, trained on her face ….”

Of course, Trump said no such thing.  What Trump did say is that “[Liz] Cheney wouldn’t be ‘war hawk’ if ‘guns were trained on her’”.   That is simply a colloquial way of saying that she’s a war hawk because she’s not herself in the line of fire.   Duh!  One wonders if today’s “journalists” can even read.

Thus, Sen. Smith’s call, along with similar calls by other Democrats and members of the DPPC, to tone down the inflammatory violence promoting language is touching.  However it is not to be believed until she and those other Democrats call out their own colleagues for saying that Trump is “death” or “Armageddon,” that Trump is a Nazi or fascist, that someone needs to put a bullet in Trump, that Trump needs to be eliminated,” that Democrats are going to “fight [Trump] in the streets”, that Democrats need to become “meaner” and start bullying people, that ICE is the “Gestapo” and “disappearing” people or that Trump’s America is a “dictatorship [and] one of the worst countries” in the world. 

We can thank Omar for making explicit that, as Mark Levin has pointed out, The Democrat Party Hates America.  We’re glad she cleared that up.

Until Sen. Smith, Democrats and the DPPC condemn, in unequivocal terms, their own Party’s dangerous hateful rhetoric, their calls to tone down the language are just so much self-serving virtue-signalling theatre that will have no effect whatsoever ending the violence.

  1. The Dems were the ones burning down cities in 2020 and are creating demonstrations with mayhem and cursing cops (peaceful assembly??!!). Dem lawmakers are creating violent disturbances — even a Senator disrupted a Secy Noem event and then claimed he was a victim of her overly zealous guards. I’m 84 and last year I casually mentioned to a 40+ year old neighbor as we exited a local sandwich shop that I would be voting for Trump. He became incensed and almost apoplectic and it intensified as we walked. When we arrived in front of his house across from mine, he was so upset that he walked away from me in another direction even though he actually had intended to go home. I actually thought he was on the verge of ding assaulted after I mildly told him about my voting intention.

  2. The truth is that all the hate comes from the Democrats who have been inciting violence against Republicans for years; from Obama constantly calling police racists that were murdering blacks to Hillary calling half the country “deplorables”, to Biden saying the MAGA supporters are a dangerous existential threat to America and “garbage”. And their rhetoric actually causes violence.

    And you don’t hear this kind of hate speech coming from the right. Remember the mass shooting at a Republican Congressional baseball game in 2017 that almost killed Steve Scalise and wounded four others. And the attempted assassination attempt on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Senator Rand Paul being attacked and hospitalized. And, of course, two assassination attempts on President Trump; all incited by the never ending rhetoric of the Democrats like Maxine Waters who encouraged Democrats to publicly confront and harass Trump supporters and tell them that “they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere” and so-called “journalists” who routinely refer to MAGA supporters as cult members, Nazi’s, Fascists, etc., etc.. Even a former FBI Director that publishes “86 Trump” and now they all shout and protest “No Kings” and say that Trump is an authoritarian dictator. It’s all so bizarre when the truth is that the Biden/Harris administration were the real Fascists that weaponized the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA and the IRS and are literally locked up members of the political opposition.

    Thank God for President Trump who never stopped fighting against the unending onslaught from the Biden/Harris Stasi DOJ, corrupt state prosecutors and the Pravda like mainstream media. I understand and support free speech but there are laws against inciting violence and riots. There must be some prosecutions and jail time for inciting and fomenting the violence from Bondi and Patel if we are ever going to be able to restore “equal justice under the law” in America.
