Voters blame extreme rhetoric for the latest Trump assassination attempt. From NBC News, not Fox News or The Gateway Pundit:
Slightly more than half of respondents, 54%, agreed that “extreme political rhetoric used by some in the media and by political leaders was an important contributor” in the days after a gunman was spotted on the fence line outside Trump’s golf course and arrested after fleeing. Another 37% said it was more of an “incident caused by a disturbed person,” and 6% volunteered that it was “some of both.”
Will Democrats quit inciting violence against Trump? I doubt it. They will do everything they can to divide Americans and incite violence against Trump.
