Brzezinski Suggests Trump to Blame for Anti-GOP Rampage
Lifezette ^ | June 15, 2017 | Edmund Kozak

MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski implied on Thursday morning that President Donald Trump’s rhetoric was somehow ultimately responsible for the attempted assassination of Republican congressmen in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday.

While halfheartedly acknowledging a myriad of other possible factors that may have contributed to the toxic political climate (save increasingly extreme mainstream liberal rhetoric), Brzezinski made it clear that she believes — and therefore wishes her audience to believe — that Trump’s arrival on the political scene was the spark that set America ablaze.

"I think that very carefully we have to talk about the added dynamic here," Brzezinski said. "We also have a president who pushes fake news and conspiracy theories — to birtherism, to promoting violence on the campaign trail, I mean this is the new dynamic here."

"I'm not putting anything squarely on the president here, but this is a new added dynamic to a very dangerous climate," she said.

Co-host Joe Scarborough was more reasonable but also declined to acknowledge the ways in which Democrats and the left increasingly engage in rhetoric dehumanizing and vilifying Republicans.

"The heated record in this country has to calm down," Scarborough said. "There has been a disconnect in American society, in American culture, and in American politics, that … is driven in part by social media, driven in part by cable news, driven in part by fake news on the internet, driven in part by hatemongers who actually make money and become fabulously wealthy creating conspiracy theories that paint the other side as evil."

...”Look in the mirror, Mika. That is the source of the hate.”...

Absolutely. Karma will set in on these haters sooner or later. Eventually, their hate will turn inward and consume them.

We’re always to blame for Islamist terror too. If we would just kneel down and submit to tyrants we wouldn’t have these problems.

Of coarse Scarborough would be attracted to an empty headed tramp like Mika, hope she doesn’t end up like his former aide. Stay away from the desk Mika

Mika with Joe, banging her and his guitar: “Republicans! Yeah!” (from the 2012 Republican Convention)

Radical islam, buggery, pedophilia, transgenderism and every other form of sexual perversion, communism, RINOism, atheism and other anti-God nonsense, criminal behavior of all types, black inadequacy, la raza, every other form of maladjusted minority status, murder, thievery, etc....

That’s them, alright.

Look in the mirror Joe, and while you are at it, take another look at that Zbigniew-faced dope you seem to like.

You’d think the day after a shooting they caused with their rhetoric these leftists would take a break from the trump bashing. But no...

...They keep going and going...The left are the energizer bunnies of hate.

Person A is out in a very dry field for an hour shooting off fireworks. Person B drives out to the field and begins to demand that the first person stop shooting off fireworks in the field due to the danger of starting a big fire.

Person A then goes berserk accusing Person B of driving out into the field of being a danger to everyone around him because his car's catalytic converter might cause a fire in the dry grass. Person A harshly claims he has a right to be setting off fireworks if he wants to. In fact, he says, other than the catalytic converter being a potential cause of a fire, Person B's car is a cause of global warming. And, the car, when driving through the field is damaging native grasses there. The man complaining about the fireworks also has shown no regard for the poor laborers who manufacture fireworks and wants their families to starve to death.

Person B goes back home and parks his car. Meanwhile, Person A has called the authorities to press charges for harassment and to claim the man's car was spitting out sparks as it drove along and nearly caused a fire, he says. As the authorities all rush to Person B's house, Person A shoots off more fireworks and a fire is started. The fire burns the field and half of the town down before authorities can get firemen in place to put the fire out.

Some will understand the analogy and some will never get it even as their houses burn down.
