Leading the vengeful posse is Donald Trump, blaming 'radical left political violence,' before we even know who shot Kirk, ignoring Trump’s own long history of inflamed political rhetoric. True to this history, Trump is now promising to “find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity, and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it” (who knows how wide he will cast that net). Yet, five minutes research would make clear that the vast bulk of recent political violence in America comes from the right and much of it is in Trump’s name.

Trump supporter Vance Luther Boelter murdered Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman and her husband in June (incidentally, after that murder, Trump said he wouldn’t ‘waste time’ making a condolence call to “whacked out” Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz). Trump supporter Cody Balmer tried to murder Democrat governor Josh Shapiro, and his family in April. Cesar Sayoc, who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden was a Trump supporter. Solomon Peña, who was found guilty in March of orchestrating attacks against state Democrats, was a Trump supporter. David DePape, who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband with a hammer was a rightwing conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter. I can ignore the pathetically poor state of political discourse in the US because I don’t live there but I can’t ignore partisan garbage on my FB wall.
