Steve Schmidt: ‘Donald Trump Did Not Mail the Bombs, But He Created the Atmosphere’

‘We stand on a ragged edge looking into an abyss’

EXCERPT:

SCHMIDT: “A historic event. We haven’t seen anything like it since the night Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. This was a mass assassination attempt, including two former presidents, a former vice president of the United States, a former Attorney General of the United States, a former Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. The person who is responsible for sending bombs to all of those people is the person who mailed the bombs. Donald Trump did not mail the bombs, but he created the atmosphere where a sick person would look at those individuals and see an enemy. Trump makes no pretense about being the Commander in Chief of all of the country, being President of all of the people, including the people that voted against him. He is in effect a tribal chieftain who has declared war on half of the country.”
