    Let me get this straight, it’s somehow the progressive rhetoric of universal healthcare and free education that caused a Republican voter to shoot the Republican presidential candidate?

    Make that make sense.

    They keep saying we need to tone down the rhetoric. But the rhetoric is all true. It’s directly based on what the conservatives do and say. So maybe they should stop doing and saying things that are so horrendous.

    A proviolence right wing nutjob was shot by a proviolence right wing nutjob and it’s the “anti-gun” left that did it?

    I’ll give you a hint: people without guns aren’t the ones shooting people.

      And decided to save on education and mental health care.

      It’s like leaving dynamite and matches everywhere and being shocked when stuff blows up.

    The very premier who wanted Tucker Carlson to put a minister in his crosshairs? That one? The same premier who called other politicians radicals?

    They’re just really surprised a shooter came for them instead of a Democrat first. That’s the only thing they’re surprised about. They’ve been trying to make something exactly like this happen since Trump exhorted the “second amendment people” to “do something about Hillary” before the 2016 election.

    It’s a hard line to ride in describing my hatred for this vile, shit stain of a human being… Whilst also not being put on an RCMP watch list because of what I believe she deserves.

    Smith: I always stay focused on issues

    Reporter: Smith says she only meant that Guilbaut (?) should be fired…

    So, no capability of self-reflection or consistency. Stereotypical populist.

    Is there a link to a transcript or what they actually said? That “article” is 2 sentences and doesn’t detail it.

    (I realize there’s a video. Not everyone can/wants to watch it, plus you can’t skim or copy/paste to quote anything.)
