Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions
The left, bizarrely, is blasting Republicans and blaming Donald Trump himself after the most recent (thankfully foiled) attempt on his life.
“GOP seethes,” a Hill headline scorns. Trump is a “danger,” warns Hillary Clinton. Sorry, lefties: It isn’t Republicans or Trump’s alleged “hate speech” that’s inciting lunatics to try to kill him. Non-stop claims that he’s a danger to the country and a threat to democracy certainly might be doing just that.
Below, a sample of some of the most outrageous responses to the latest Trump assassination bid.
