Karoline Leavitt: Much of the Would-Be Assassin’s Manifesto Is No Different from the Left-Wing Rhetoric We Hear Every Day

‘Those who constantly, falsely label and slander the president as a fascist, as a threat to democracy and compare him to Hitler, to score political points, are fueling this kind of violence’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “The left-wing cult of hatred against the president and all of those who support him and work for him has gotten multiple people hurt and killed and it almost did so again this weekend. When you read the manifesto of this shooter, ask yourselves how different is the rhetoric from this almost assassin than what you read on social media and hear in various forums every single day. The answer, if you're being honest with yourself, is that there is no difference at all. Much of the manifesto of the would-be assassin is indistinguishable from the words that we hear daily from so many. For example, as the first lady of the United States pointed out this morning, just two days prior to the shooting, ABC's late night host Jimmy Kimmel disgustingly called First Lady Melania Trump an expectant widow. Who in their right minds says a wife would be glowing over the potential murder of her beloved husband? And having experienced what I did with the first lady on Saturday night, I can tell you that she was anything but that. This kind of rhetoric about the president, the first lady and his supporters is completely deranged and it's unbelievable that the American people are consuming it night after night after night.”
