BASH On that what ░░░░░░░░ in Springfield after on ░░░░░░░░ when I interviewed Senator ░░░░░░░░ after I told him ░░░░░░░░ the mayor of Springfield ░░░░░░░░ said which is suggesting ░░░░░░░░ there is a cause ░░░░░░░░ effect between this rhetoric ░░░░░░░░ the threats that they ░░░░░░░░ he pretty aggressively pushed ░░░░░░░░ on any culpability on ░░░░░░░░ which he still is ░░░░░░░░ YOUNGS Whether or not ░░░░░░░░ s a cause and ░░░░░░░░ this has been something ░░░░░░░░ federal law enforcement officials ░░░░░░░░ been warning about for ░░░░░░░░ now The idea that ░░░░░░░░ statements put out by ░░░░░░░░ officials could incite violence ░░░░░░░░ encourage those to commit ░░░░░░░░ attacks I remember after ░░░░░░░░ attack on the Capitol ░░░░░░░░ January 6th I spent ░░░░░░░░ lot of time just ░░░░░░░░ to law enforcement officials ░░░░░░░░ just how much do ░░░░░░░░ fear that this could ░░░░░░░░ the norm this being ░░░░░░░░ officials and their statements ░░░░░░░░ people to commit violent ░░░░░░░░ And that fear was ░░░░░░░░ then and it seems ░░░░░░░░ it s only becoming ░░░░░░░░ know a norm now ░░░░░░░░ being violence connected to ░░░░░░░░ elections and to politics ░░░░░░░░ mean just the fact ░░░░░░░░ right now you have ░░░░░░░░ former president who yes ░░░░░░░░ been the target of ░░░░░░░░ assassinations twice but is ░░░░░░░░ an instigator of political ░░░░░░░░ This is somebody that ░░░░░░░░ encouraged people at his ░░░░░░░░ to go after hecklers ░░░░░░░░ his rallies We know ░░░░░░░░ happened on January 6th ░░░░░░░░ well and the encouraging ░░░░░░░░ people to go to ░░░░░░░░ Capitol and then the ░░░░░░░░ attack on that Capitol ░░░░░░░░ that fact that you ░░░░░░░░ both a president that ░░░░░░░░ a target and instigator ░░░░░░░░ this time I think ░░░░░░░░ emblematic of just the ░░░░░░░░ sort of threat environment ░░░░░░░░ we re in right ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ violence.”
