MSNBC this morning stated, "Trump has ALSO used incendiary language"

...the narrator made the statement after repeating Trump's phony claim that Democrat's 'rhetoric' was what encouraged the attacks and plots against him.

Democrats have NOT used any incendiary language, but Trump and Vance have made repeated threats.

Moreover, you can't find more than a couple actual republicans denouncing any of Trump's threats and inciteful lies against individuals and entire communities. But Democrats have been responsibly condemning all of it throughout the over eight years of this since Trump began his first campaign for the presidency.

Still we have this equalizing bullshit; this MSNBC narrative just adopting Trump's bullshit charge without a shred of proof, and none presented in the report.

To Morning Scar's credit, he called it an 'outright lie."

Trump’s lies and insane words carry the same equality as reality and facts by Harris. They think they’re being neutral. They aren’t—it’s their thumb on the scale making Trump look normal and rational when he is neither.
