[HighStepper]

We now need to carry the fight against organized crime to its logical conclusion.
• Newt Gingrich suggested that the FBI might have planted evidence against Trump.

• Ron DeSantis claimed, "The raid of [Mar-a-Lago] is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime's political opponents."

I don't care how much you love Trump you know the above is just wrong. Prominent members of the  Republican Party are egging on people that are prone to violence. Based on no evidence right now, Republicans are promoting a narrative that the events of this week prove that the United States government and its chief law-enforcement agency are Nazi-like, corrupt to the core, at war with its own citizens."

I'd quibble with the statement in bold. Nearly all of the people quoted do know it's wrong, and that it's all bullshit. But a lot of Trump's followers don't know that. They're true believers, and they're the people Trump and his disgraceful allies are counting on.

Ricky Shiffer, who was killed in a confrontation with police after firing a nail gun into an FBI building in Cincinnati,
had posted online a desire to kill FBI agents shortly after former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence was searched.

Is this just the start of things to come?
Should not the prominent Republicans take steps to tamp down the inciting rhetoric?

Should not the prominent Republicans take steps to tamp down the inciting rhetoric?

They did yesterday but it has little effect on nutjobs.
Remember when Chuck Schumer made the call to arms against Kavanagh and that nutjob tried to kill him at his house?

Both parties need to tamp down the violent rhetoric.

Both parties need to tamp down the violent rhetoric.

Schumer made his remarks more than two years ago. The nutjob showed up at Kavanaugh's house this past June. It's a lousy parallel.

That said, obviously "both sides" should be more circumspect. But the Republicans and their media allies deliberately stoke hostility and paranoia.

Newt Gingrich suggested that the FBI might have planted evidence against Trump.

Jesse Watters, hinted that the FBI was setting up Trump. "How do we know they're not planting evidence right now?"

Trump Attorney, Christina Bobb, states that while staff initially complied with the FBI request to turn off the CCTV cameras in Mar-a-Lago,
President Trump's lawyers stepped in and the cameras were turned back on. The President could see everything that was going on during the FBI search.

In the comment section:
"She said she was in the parking lot.  Trump and his family watched from CCTV as the FBI executed the search warrant.  You think the FBI could plant something with Trump and Co watching and him not immediately go on TV with the footage of them doing so?"

Nut jobs are everywhere. Nut Jobs across the board..

Kinda Crazy that many media outlets are word by word the same on how civil unrest is possible.
Kinda like a organized misrepresentation to smear one side prior to midterms. They have to Make shit up to the stupid people trying to redeem themselves.
Keep believing the hype Demoncrats are projecting..

Trump himself has confirmed he took the documents... says he declassified them before he left office... soooo that means Trump knew he had the docs and knew what they were. Trump is lying through his teeth... again.  This won't be Russian Collusion, Trump is going to be hung out to dry. Trump and his Republican stooges have pissed off the DOJ and now they will come after Trump with all they got... Way to go Donald...LOL

Isn't it funny your narrative changed?  First off, there was no reason. Then there weren't any documents. Now there are documents but he declassified them

Yes a lot of the people on the list are nut jobs. I didn't think you would consider Kevin McCarthy, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Ron DeSantis as nut jobs. But if you say so.

The problem is millions of the MAGA faithful believe these people's lies. And the more fanatical are acting out violently with death threats.

Also I just realized, you were using the Republican Party line: If it's someone we don't like, like BLM, ONE incident proves all BLM is violent. If it's someone the Republican Party has as a member, well then it's someone who went crazy on their own, and thus have no connection to anyone else in that group.

This happens especially with people who are gun nuts who snap and start shooting up things, in this case a Republican who just happened to be one of those charged with Jan 6th things...

Gee, imagine that, violent extremists on Trump's side, who would have thought it?

The posts represent a tiny fraction of violent extremist content flooding far-right message boards and social media platforms in the wake of the FBI's search of the Mar-a-Lago resort. Phrases including "civil war" and "lock and load" trended across Telegram channels, Gab, Reddit and TheDonald, a popular forum among Trump supporters. Also rising are antisemitic slurs threatening the Florida magistrate judge who signed the search warrant enabling the FBI to search for and remove boxes and documents of potentially classified material from the former president's home. At this point, the volume of the rhetoric hasn't reached the same levels seen in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 riot.

The threats ranged from attacks on the FBI and those involved in the case to  calls for Trump supporters to take up arms against the government.

"Ballot box, soap box, jury box, and ammo box ... options are getting limited," wrote one user. "Time to bear arms and take down the FBI," wrote another.

Republicans Far Right Trump Lovers know Trump is in deep shit and the walls are closing in on him... All they got to defend Trump is to undermine our top law enforcement for doing their job... I agree Hilary should have been indicted for her servery and confidential material found on her server, plus the destruction of devices to obstruct justice.  Nevertheless, regardless of Hilary's not being prosecuted does not provide an excuse or reason not to pursue Trump for the crimes he is suspected of... Reminds me of little kids... well she did it and got away with it why am I being punished...
