This needs to be discussed on air. Trump says so many crazy, offensive things that it's been normalized. This deserves a conversation. It's not only a lie, it's mean, ignorant, incites violence and has only been uttered as a form of entertainment for his base.

would at least mention it, so far nothing. My fear is if they don't address this, they will try to use it as a campaign issue, which is beyond absurd and extremely dangerous.
It is terrifying to me that a portion of our population believe something so utterly ridiculous, I knew there were stupid people amongst us before 2016, I am dumbfounded by just how many there are.

Trump won by being negative. Trump is going to call Democrats baby killers in his reelection campaign.

Just pretending out of hatred of our side. But there really are some that are dangerously dumb. How do these people have children? Drive cars? Do anything that you need half a brain to do. It is scary af.

dangerous. tRump working these people up intentionally is treasonous and should be treated that way. We will never heal from this. I fear the best we can hope for is to squelch his supporters. The reality is we did that before. It’s called the Civil War and we’re still fighting it. tRump is but a symptom of that reality.

OTOH, they may be trying to avoid giving Donny Rottenmouth's "Pro-Ghoul" base any more raw meat.

I hope the medical folks skewer him and throw him into the coals.

should handle differently, it is too dangerous and apparently 30 percent of us are seriously uneducated and need to be brought up to speed.

Trump accused ALL of the doctors who deliver babies in the state of Wisconsin of first degree murder upon request. He made it sound routine!

He should be sued immediately for malicious slander against the docs, nurse midwives, and nurse practitioners in Wisconsin that he publicly accused.
