Trumpin puhe oli aika odotettu. Vasemmiston vika, vain vasemmiston väkivalta on ongelma ja se mitä demokraateille tehdään, ei ole maintsemisen arvoista. Maahan on niin kahtiajaettu, että en ihmettele yhtään, että politikot ja aktivistit kummallakin puolella alkavat olla tulilinjalla. Tyhmyys, mielenterveysongelmat ja aseet on aina yhtä paha yhtälö.
"President Trump condemned the left and the media for "demonizing" those they disagree with
in a video message from the Oval Office after his close ally
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed at a Utah college campus event on Wednesday."
"Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died," Trump said."
"Trump drew a throughline from the
assassination attempt at his campaign rally last year to the murder of
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the
2017 shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise at a congressional baseball practice.
Trump did not include any
examples of political violence against Democrats, such as the
June attack in Minnesota that killed a state lawmaker and left another wounded or the
2022 hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. She wasn't home at the time, but was the intended target."
Jenkkeihin suruliputus.

Mikä on tavallaan vähän outoa. Kouluammuskelut yms ei aiheuta suruliputusta. Jimmy Carterin suruliputus piti kesketyttää virkaanastujaisten takia. Liputusta ei tullut esim tuosta Minnesotan hyökkäyksestäkään. Väärät kohteet siis.
