GOP, home to Trump and tea party, decries Dems’ ‘mob rule’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans are forecasting nightmarish Democratic “mob rule” to amp up GOP voters for next month’s critical midterm elections, flipping the script from complaints that it’s Trump and the tea party movement who’ve boosted rowdy and divisive tactics to dangerous levels.

Less than a month from voting in which GOP control of Congress is dangling precariously, Republicans are linking comments and actions by Democratic politicians, raucous protesters opposing Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination and even a gunman who shot targeted GOP lawmakers. The message to Republican voters: Democrats are employing radical tactics that are only growing worse.

“Only one side was happy to play host to this toxic fringe behavior,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Thursday in the latest GOP attack. “Only one side’s leaders are now openly calling for more of it. They haven’t seen enough. They want more. And I’m afraid this is only Phase One of the meltdown.”

Is it me, or does it seem that the GOP has some spine ever since McCain passed...?

Glad to read it. Glad this assertion is now coming from ALL leading Republicans (at least I hope it is).

President Trump:

“You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. Democrats have become too EXTREME and TOO DANGEROUS to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law - not the rule of the mob. VOTE REPUBLICAN!”

A quotation for the ages.....

Never understood political angst. I don’t identify with those who choose anarchy or tactics employed by communists of various persuasions. The 20th century was full of uprisings in the form of revolutions or union activism, or National Socialists. Nobody likes capitalists for some odd reason... I guess watching bunch of entrepreneurs pocketing money that those activist groups wished they could pocket, drives them to revolt.

Is this 20th century bleed over?

“Forecasting”?

The Dems are vocally on record saying they want mobs to attack Republicans in the streets.

Use the word MOB as much as possible - it really annoys democrats.

The democrat party is an angry, unhinged MOB of hysterics that is unfit to hold office and to vote.

I want the MOB that banged on the door of the court all thrown in jail.

MOB bosses: hillary, shumer, pelosi, waters, perez, booker, harris. All need to be in jail on RICO charges.

There is no tin horn communist dictatorship with which I wouldn’t trade our media. It might be an improvement. It certainly cannot be any worse.

The more power they lose, the more violent they will get. Then if they ever do get back into power, they will have no problem purging conservatives.

I sure don’t remember the Tea Party being anything more than well-behaved protesters with a grievance. Sure, there was some anger at town hall meetings but it was never anything crazy. Seriously, did they get violent or in peoples faces? Trump does use firey rhetoric, but its always in response to something the left said. Trump counter punches. The left has always been the ones using mobs, shut downs, sit downs, and sometimes violence pretty much since the 1970’s

Yes, Hannity was proving that last night. The Democrat Media tries to pretend they aren’t using mob violence - when they encourage and support mob violence.

I’m still expecting them to do an October Surprise of some sort. Maybe very early November.

Because I think your statement is rather accurate.

Is this comparing the TEA PARTY TO THE MOB??

There is no shortage of hubris on the left.

If someone had video of both groups’ protests, it would be priceless for comparison.
