"Last week,🚨Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade said we needed to kill 700,000 Americans by involuntary lethal injection.

Today Fox News Host Jesse Watters said we need to “Bomb” the UN Building in New York City.

Yes, Fox News suggested bombing a building on U.S. soil.
A building full of world leaders.

Just for clarity:

Even Watters own mother thinks he’s an asshole."

House Republicans Call for Liz Cheney to Be Investigated Over Jan. 6 Committee Role

Ms. Cheney defended her work on the select committee in a detailed statement, and called the report “a malicious and cowardly assault on the truth.”

Bates said it was important to distinguish people who use #guns for protection or hunting, & people who use AR-15s, which can kill a large number of people quickly. AR-15s have become a threatening symbol from the #FarRight, Bates said, & people working in #politics or #elections have been intimidated by these #weapons in the last few years. Bates pointed out the example of the #Jan6 #insurrection & #safety fears for #PollWorkers.

Long Legacy of U.S. Political Violence: RNC Begins in Milwaukee in Wake of Trump Assassination Attempt http://www.democracynow.org/2024/7/15/trump_shot_john_nichols #uspoli #USElections2024 #PolitcalViolence #GunViolence #RepublicanExtremism #TrumpFascism #USFascism
Long Legacy of U.S. Political Violence: <span class="caps">RNC</span> Begins in Milwaukee in Wake of Trump Assassination Attempt

We begin our weeklong coverage from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Saturday at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was shot in his right ear. One person in the crowd was killed, and two others critically injured. The shooter was killed at the scene after members of the Secret Service opened fire on him on a nearby roof. The Nation's national affairs correspondent John Nichols joins us in Milwaukee to detail the long history of political violence in the United States and says it may not prove as significant to the presidential election as many believe. “There is a tendency after a shooting like this to assume it's going to have a huge political impact — and it may. I’m not dismissing that. But what I will tell you is that there’s history that suggests that the country is horrified, the country reacts with sympathy, but it doesn’t necessarily say, 'Oh, well, we have to elect this wounded warrior or this wounded candidate.'”

Will Bunch does a nice job of pointing out where we, in the US, are now with respect to #authoritarianism, #bigotry, and #PolitcalViolence.

The far-right is losing. That’s why America has never been so dangerous.

A spike in antisemitism, violent protests, and politically fueled mass shootings is happening because the U.S. far-right is losing, and lashing out.
