The Schloss-Blog has been listening to Trump and sycophants talk about the Charlie Kirk shooting, you know, the one that took the life of a man who spews hatred, racism and vile.
They, on Trump's due, have been denouncing The Left" as the party of murder (Elon Musk says).
What they didn't say, what they conveniently forgot to say, speaking of murder and violence, is what the Radical Right has been doing this and more for many years, (per Frank Bruni in the NY Times):
He made no mention of the assassination this year of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic former speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, and her husband by a gunman who also shot and seriously injured a Democratic state senator and his wife. No mention of an assailant’s attempt to burn down the house of Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, a Democrat, as he, his wife and their children slept inside. No mention of the plot in 2020 to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, a Democrat whom Trump then reveled in vilifying. No mention of the man who broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home in 2022 and struck her husband, Paul, with a hammer, an incident that many of Trump’s allies — including his son Donald Trump Jr. — made fun of.
No, the Republicans are the party of peace and love, right after they're done persecuting and maybe even killing all the "Lefties" they despise.

From the CATO Institute: Neither side is immune. Liberal attacks are real; an activist shot the House Republican whip in 2017. But most of the recent attacks came from the right. MAGA assailants targeted Mike Pence; Nancy Pelosi and her husband; and the Democratic governors of Michigan and Pennsylvania. They sent pipe bombs to the homes of Barack Obama and Joe Biden in 2018. In the spring, a right-wing gunman hunted Minnesota state lawmakers, killing one as well as her husband.
