Chuck Schumer Blames Trump for Political Violence in Minnesota, Forgets His Own SCOTUS Threats – Twitchy

Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer is trying to blame President Donald Trump for the fatal shooting of a Minnesota politician and her husband. He does this while conveniently forgetting his own party’s relentless stream of violent rhetoric, including his own. More on that in a bit.

But first, here’s Schumer in the Senate on Tuesday. (WATCH)

Chuck Schumer blames Trump for “dangerous environment” that led to MN shoot*ngs:

“When political opponents are treated like enemies, danger follows. And that’s what Donald Trump has done.”

And the mindless left is so brainwashed, they don’t even see the blatant hypocrisy of statements like his.

Once again, the Democrats have zero self awareness. They’re the ones with the extreme, dangerous rhetoric.

Yes, zero self-awareness.

Schumer seems to forget his threats against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Someone allegedly took his words to heart.

Yea wasn’t our side rioting over the weekend.

Dems need to sit down.

Have you ever noticed that cities are never shut down for Trump supporters?

Some posters say that the Democrats’ blame game isn’t working, but they refuse to stop.

I can’t believe they’re saying this with a straight face. They know how absurd it is, but think it’s working. I’d love to see polling on this, I don’t even know how to word the question exactly, but I guarantee that people would see Democrats as the party of incendiary rhetoric.

I haven’t seen polling on this particular messaging, but the polling on Democrat party leadership in general is abysmal.

And this is right in line with everything else they do.

Polls consistently show Democrats’ approval in the teens.

Commenters say Dems always blame Trump’s ‘rhetoric’ but don’t mention specific instances of him saying anything violent.

Cite a statement of Trump’s. Because I can’t think of one.

They can’t. Never do.

Democrats can’t, so they invent ‘dog whistles,’ which only makes them look and sound even more ridiculous.
