In a new Atlantic piece, Peter Wehner writes about the Republican response to the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago and the growing online threats of violence as a response to the search.

Peter Wehner: Rhetoric Using Political Violence Often Leads To Political Violence
source
It would be nice if MSNBC recognized this in May of 2020. But now they only care when politically convenient.
Ironic. Double standard. I didn’t hear this kind of reporting during the summer of love.
Fake News Media should condemn the rhetoric Waters, AOC, and Piglosi use to stir up violence.
Trump 2024
God bless trump!!!!! God protect this good man who loves America and these evil fools trying to destroy it
You mean like trying to assinate a sitting justice because of Shumers rhetoric?
Don’t you people remover when he was elected and all the democrats were telling people to riot. You guys are insane. You were all for those “mostly peaceful protests”
Still skipping over the fact that democrats supported the BLM terrorist attacks.
Funny how they fail to recall the comments from the likes of Maxine Waters, and the like… and it's funny, because everything he quoted this guy wrote could also be applied to the libs, to a greater degree even, due to the sheer number of them that make these claims. The GOP is going to of course capitalize on the distrust of the gov, I mean they fabricated the steele dossier, hunters laptop was russian disinfo, until it wasn't, etc. They only looked at GOP senators, but failed to look across the isle, where the dems have spent years DOING THE VERY SAME THING. (a la defund the police, etc)
Such fake news ..cnn and cndnc has purposely destroyed the Trump family with ongoing lies- you all should be held legally liable for such damage
Didn't Democrats allow and even encourage the black lives matter riots. Nancy pelosi was even bailing those people out of jail. Either both sides agree to no violence but it seems the left doesn't like that idea. Even more than the GOP. Plus don't the Democrats want to defund the police? Why are they suddenly the good guys?
What about Maxine Waters?
Like threatening the nudges, defunding police, non stop looting and burning…all lefties
They seem to forget about all the democrat trash calling for violence against Conservatives like Maxine Waters and Pilosi literally calling for violence but nothing,crickets.
Its a wrap the US has turned into a oligarchy and the demoncratic party is the one pulling the strings
All this so called “documents” story…STINKS…from miles away….STINKS of political retaliation……
So trump supporters(cult) are upset with the FBI because they are doing their job?? 🤔
It’s simple when you think about it..Don’t take any Government Documents when you are leaving the White House and the Feds won’t bother you!🤷🏼♂️
Why would you need the nuclear documents if you’re not in office anymore??!??…
All of y’all that are having a hard understanding that what Trump did is wrong..Had President Obama did the same exact thing as Trump when he left the office..y’all would be “All for prosecuting Obama”. So let’s not play favoritism and prosecute Mr#45.
Wow I Just Checked Your Ratings 🤷🏻♂️ Who Is It That Watches This BS 🤣🤣🤣
Does anyone even take this government propaganda serious? I know the normies take mainstream media completely serious but I watch these videos for the laughs! What a clown show our government has been exposed to be. That's what happens when you have to deceive your own citizens to take their freedom(sovereignty according to what the UN said**clue**) away so the globalist can have their great reset.
Projection. Your 2020 summer of love, with mostly violent riots, you MSM promoted it, praised it, and covered for criminals.
Trump and his followers egos are so fragile they would rather see the US burned to the ground rather than admit they lost a free and fair election.
Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
– Maxine Waters 2018
“Everyone beware,” K. Harris exclaimed. “They’re not gonna stop before election day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after election day. They’re not gonna let up and they should not.”
Rep. Ted Lieu Warns Trump: There Will Be 'Widespread Civil Unrest' If Mueller Is Fired 2018
"Before I end, that’s my call to action here. Please don’t just come here today and then go home," he said. "Go to the Hill today. Get up, and please get up in the face of some congresspeople."
– C. Booker 2018
In 2019, when Trump was considering declaring a “national emergency” over the then-gov’t shutdown, Rep. @JoaquinCastrotx said if he did, Democrats would “fight him … in the streets”
“I mean, the truth is this guy is bad for this country,” he added.
.@SenatorTester said that in order to take on Trump, you have to “punch him in the face”
.@SpeakerPelosi, speaking at yesterday’s National Governors Association meeting, described her approach to politics: "I just came from mass, but nonetheless, when you’re in the arena, you have to be ready to take a punch & throw a punch."
Pot, meet kettle.
TRUMPS FAULT, you are the ones constantly pushing for violence.
Banana republic
Like people crowding around the homes of judges.
Msdnc is so full of crap it’s absurd. I haven’t seen any calls of violence at all, they are just setting the stage for their next narrative. The proof is in all the times Dems have used horrible rhetoric and it was Trump supporters who were assaulted for wearing a hat with Maga on it. It’s also why some crazy person shot up a gop baseball game and why another gop rep was beaten.
I enjoy waiting two or three days to read posts. It allows you the opportunity to see the intelligence level of people posting comments. This thread is just embarrassing. Have higher standards people.
Lock up Mad Maxine Waters. Also all the Democratic agitators. I understand now. You all have calm person syndrome. It's truly fearful when calm people get angry. No one's used to that. The left are always shrieking and destroying things. Well the calm people have had enough.
Sanitizer.
Trump didn’t violate the privacy of anyone. The only violence here is on behalf of Joe Biden administration that used the FBI and a crooked judge to violate the right to privacy of a former and future President.
We get it, you don’t want violence, you want peaceful submission. No.
Did you know that MSNBC is part of a massive multimedia conglomerate? Do you know what religion their CEO and her father just so happen to practice? Oh well, I’m sure it was just Austrian art school like the history books say.
He’s wrong, I’m the lone wolf that wants to eat you. I wouldn’t just eat you though, I’d take you through and through. Your last memory being my climax.
Marxist ideology and authoritarian governments often lead to the murder of millions of people.
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 Just wake me up when I can vote for Trump again! 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
YEA. REMEMBER THE SUMMER OF LOVE WITH MOSTLY PEACEFUL MURDERS?
someone posted "…there will always b a trump…" to which I say, there will not always be a trump…his once in history shot will age out, he will pass, and return to dust. WE will return to arguments about budgets, civil rights and hopefully, a level of decorum (I can dream). And this ugly time of trump will be over, forever. Time wounds all Heals.
Man that's all you media there do is jump to conclusions. PIPE DOWN ON Republicans. Is that all you do is talk trash and assume you know everything.? YOU GUYS TALK SO MUCH HATE TRASH WHAT YOU GOING TO DO IF Trump wins his case? HATE EVEN MORE AND MAKE MORE TROUBLE? I WOULD NOT PUT THIS PAST YOUR MEDIA Station.
While a few years ago tRump said hang or shoot via firing squad the whistle blower who outed him.
Right. When tRump and republiCONs accused democrats of saying defund the police was just a foreshadowing of what they were going to do and are doing now.
Holy moly, Peter Wehner's comment [08:20] – himself a republican – about republican's accommodating themselves to their environment describes the essential behaviour of….. reptiles. (just watch any doc on crocs, snakes, lizards etc). Does he not realise that?
The violent rhetoric coming from most Republicans and Trump has created threatening phone calls and emails to EVERYONE/AGENCY of government that opposes Trump and the far right extremists. If you think you cannot be tracked down, think again. Yea! You will be tracked down, arrested, convicted and sent to jail. Jan. 6, 2021 shows you exactly what these traitors to America really are. White supremacy/Republicans will eventually answer to law enforcement. It's either Trumpocracy or Democracy.
