Democrats go out of their way to lecture the public about violent rhetoric, but ONLY when it benefits them.
Let’s be clear: this is a one-sided problem.
They pal around and campaign with someone who called for MY MURDER. That should tell you everything you need to know. https://t.co/ZfdSrWX2YU pic.twitter.com/HhltVoFeFk

What’s funny about this is that if some lib podcaster had said “Rick Scott voted for/against XYZ so libs people are going to be calling for his shiny scalp” then it’s questionable at best that he would react at all. Instead it was that Hasan Piker rabble rouser who said “if you’re outraged over Medicaid fraud then you should want to murder Rick Scott,” referring obviously to Scott’s history of ripping off taxpayers to the tune of billions in his private sector career. The counterfactual is like a badge of honor, a sign that Rick’s “over the target” while what actually happened was Piker being over the target while ALSO saying not that it’s leftists who should lynch Scott, but Republican voters outraged at “waste, fraud, and abuse” that forced work requirements and cuts on them.
