Leftists who have called for violence against Trump and/or compared him to Hitler.

5. Rachel Maddow​

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow compared Trump to both Hitler and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

Last December, Maddow said Trump “keeps saying the kinds of things, the exact kind of things, that Hitler and Mussolini said.”

“There’s a reason Hitler and Mussolini said this stuff, too. It worked then, it works now,” she added. “It has worked abroad all over the world and yes, it has worked here, too. More than we like to remember.”
 

7. Keith Olbermann​

In March, Trump said that the “hostile press” treats him worse than Abraham Lincoln. The Biden-Harris reelection campaign posted Trump’s clip, noting: “Trump says he has been treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated.”

Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann reposted the Biden-Harris campaign video, saying, “There’s always the hope.”

Olbermann deleted the tweet and clarified that he hoped Trump gets treated badly, although his original post could be interpreted to mean that he hoped Trump got assassinated.

“I’m hoping Trump’s right, that he IS treated worse than Lincoln,” Olbermann said. “As I’ve said for 9 years: THAT HE’S CONVICTED, THEN DIES IN PRISON.”
 
Here is some of the violence instigated by the clowns above....



Other Violent Threats to Trump​

Both Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, who authorities say shot Trump in the right ear July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, and Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, the man suspected of planning to assassinate the former president Sunday at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, got surprisingly close to the former president.

However, New Tolerance Campaign identified five others who faced charges for threatening to harm or kill Trump.

In January 2021, a judge sentenced 53-year-old Connecticut resident Gary Joseph Gravelle to nine years in prison after his conviction for sending a letter threatening to kill Trump in September 2018.

In January 2022, police arrested and charged New York City resident Thomas Welnicki, 72, with calling the Secret Service and threatening to kill Trump. He proclaimed that he intended to “stand up to fascism” by assassinating the former president.

In August, police arrested Arizona resident Ronald Lee Syvrud, 66, and charged him with threatening Trump’s life during the former president’s campaign trip to the Copper State.

In July, police arrested and charged Florida resident Michael M. Wiseman, 68, with making written threats to kill Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, after the assassination attempt in Butler.

Last month, police arrested and charged Illinois resident Justin Lee White, 36, with repeatedly threatening Trump, police, and Republicans with violence if the former president didn’t “play fair” during the election campaign.

Where would Welnicki get the idea that standing up to “fascism” involves targeting Trump? The full list of left-leaning pundits, celebrities, and politicians who compared Trump to Hitler would be too long to compile. But New Tolerance Campaign highlighted many examples, and The Daily Signal has narrowed them down to the list below. (The worst is at the bottom.)

None of the people in the list below responded to The Daily Signal’s requests for comment by publication time.
 

9. Jacqueline Marsaw​

A former congressional aide for Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., posted on Facebook that a potential Trump assassin should try not to miss “next time.”

“I don’t condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time ooops that wasn’t me talking,” Jacqueline Marsaw wrote in the post.

Thompson said he fired Marsaw. His office didn’t respond to The Daily Signal’s request to connect with Marsaw for comment after the second assassination attempt.
 
They could be exaggerating in their minds on Trump's threats, but some will take it as his promises to seek revenge. His display of rage during the debate shouldn't be taken lightly. He will at least pardon all the Jan.6 violent criminals.

Wow! After all the examples above you focus on what Trump said during the debate.

Weird.

Joe left a message for me on him having confidence in not electing a crazy president.
He referred to the crazies on this board as perhaps not being the norm.

Then all the new threads started appearing that are demonstrating Americans' behaviour that has nothing to do with this board. The insanity here is more representative than he thinks.
 
Yet right wing threats are just as real and even Vance is denying it

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) claimed on Monday that no one has attempted to kill Vice President Kamala Harris, in an apparent attempt to portray right-wing rhetoric as harmless. The only problem? His claim isn’t true.
