So, we're to blame for Trump inciting that crowd?

He say “it was an appropriate speech that he made”? But never once did he vilify the mob murdering people nor how he put many other people in harms way. And let us not forget he has always had perfect phone calls, talks, speeches and chocolate cake! How is the Democrats fault?

Plus its all about changing the framing by putting Democrats on the defensive.

Its important that our politicians and spokespeople call out Republicans on what they are trying to do rather than go on defense.

I just read on a friend’s Facebook page that the domestic terrorism riot was caused by MSNBC and CNN fake news, Adam Schiff’s lies (he didn’t specify), the Scalise shooting, Nancy Pelosi’s lies (again, not specified) and Obama/Biden illegal wiretaps using info from Hillary. He then gave a rock/glass house analogy.

Another Facebook friend decided that the riot was ok because those who protested Act 10 in Madison, WI in 2011 did the same thing.

There is no reasoning with these idiots. 🙄
