. . .we see compilations of Trump's insanity like this?

Every "news person" interviewing a Republican pointing fingers at the rhetoric of of democrats as "over the top" just makes a general statement about Trumps extremist language. They don't confront the person with specifics or the clips like these:

"she's a fascist"

"she's rejects freedom and embraces Marxism, communism, and fascism"

"we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country"

"Biden and his band of Marxists, communists, fascists"

"Biden is the puppet of left wing extremists trying to erase our borders, eliminate our police, indoctrinate our children. . ."

"Joe Biden is the destroyer of American democracy"

"This country is finished if we don't win this election"

"If we don't win this may be the last election our country ever has"

"Joe Biden is a threat to democracy"

"If she has four more years our country will be obliterated"

and more. . .

Though Thom Hartmann today made a point to say that the suspect in TFG's assassination attempt "never got a shot off."

I can't wait until he no longer dominates the news. But then I finally quit watching the news back in 2016, figured I'd start watching again after the election was over. *sigh*
