The Hill: Trump's death wish attack on McConnell sets alarm bells ringing

[brooklynite]

Former President Trump’s penchant for violent language has bubbled to the fore again in his feud with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

Trump’s latest salvo was the ominous assertion that McConnell must have a “DEATH WISH” merely for supporting some legislation that was backed by Democrats.

The remark, posted on the Truth Social platform Friday, has drawn some degree of condemnation beyond the ranks of liberals and Democrats.

The comment will also deepen the toxicity of a political atmosphere in which many lawmakers are already taking security measures in response to increased threats of violence.

The editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal, which are reliably conservative, condemned the “DEATH WISH” comment as “ugly even by Mr. Trump’s standards.”

1. So this pathetic lying cheat, if someone attempts to attack mcconnell (just watch, it'll happen),

tRUMP will get off scot-free.

His a&& should be hauled immediately into jail for inciting any such violence. tRUMP's own words will convict him.

2. "Ugly even by Mr. Trump's standards" is now the new official benchmark for ugliness.

3. I'm a liberal, I'm a Democrat. No alarm bells here. I don't care.

Ugly is the Republican party and Mitch's own standards.
