Hypocritical son-of-a-bitch...

Speaker Mike Johnson Calls on Leaders of Both Parties to Turn Down Violent Rhetoric: ‘We Can’t Go On Like This as a Society’

There is only ONE Republican Party leader and he IS Donald Trump and he IS the one stoking the violent rhetoric. But now after someone tried to take out Trump, it's time to turn down the rhetoric. WTF?

The leaders of the Democratic party and most of the members, have been condemning the rhetoric ever since Trump started dispensing it. If Johnson seriously wants the temperature lowered, he'll have to talk to the ignorant, self-serving asshole who started it all.

And lotsa' luck at having any success in doing that. It's only going to get worse and when Trump loses the election, it will increase exponentially.
