Sorry, but an allegation unsupported by anything factual is NO evidence at all.

The Democrats have no problem with canonizing people like her. Remember, this is the same party that featured illegal immigrants at their convention.

Truthful words are not empty words. Republicans got together and changed the next election. That is the way to make change.

Of course there are wacko nuts on both sides of the political spectrum but one can't help but wonder how emboldened the far left nut jobs are with things like seeing pictures of Trump beheaded, him being assassinated in a play, and some celebs promoting things like blowing up the White House. It all adds up and it doesn't take much for someone who is mentally off the deep end to think, "I'm going to be a hero today and kill some Republicans".

Please provide an example of Sanders inciting violence.

Thank you.

Okay. When Gabby Giffords was shot, they immediately decried right wing talk show host and blamed them for instigating violence. It was soon revealed the gunman was not affiliated with any right wing group and was just a nut, but they used it to attack the innocent.
Then the Pizza shooter shot a hard drive in the Pizza Place and they used that as an excuse to go after internet news sources and conspiracy theorists. The shooting was revealed to be staged, the shooter was an actor and also worked with those he allegedly was out to stop. But they still used it to go after what they felt was a threat to them.
Then the Orlando shooter made an issue about moslem immigrants. That wasn't made into a big issue but it helped Trump get elected.
So now we have this partisan extremist, a Bernie Sanders supporter who let anti Trump rhetoric fuel him into an act of unspeakable violence against republican politicians. Now Sanders has to pay the price for what he helped instigate and we also have to declare war against anti Trump protests and political attacks. Sanders needs to either step down or be forced from office, he has to go.

I'm a good counter - the count for the right was 2 and I responded to both with a "stop it", violence is no answer. I'm sure you can must have also responded to the Leftists to tell them to "stop".
