Saying if Trump Wins an Election 'Our Country Will End, Our Democracy Will End' Has Consequences
[Breitbart] Saturday, during CNN’s coverage of an attempt to take the life of former President Donald Trump, CNN contributor Scott Jennings
…Republican strategist and conservative voice on CNN…
told his colleagues the hyperbole from media and Democrats about a potential second presidency has consequences.

“Think about what you just said — we are one inch, one inch from something far more terrible tonight,” Jennings said. “I mean, the country is already shocked, and we are in bad need of healing and unity in this country, but we were one inch from something far worse. Republicans, I’m hearing from tonight, are shocked. They are worried about our country. They are worried about Donald Trump. They’re worried about the rhetoric around Donald Trump. I mean, I hate to say it, but the rhetoric around him over the last few weeks that if he wins an election, our country will end, our democracy will end, it’s the last election that we’ll ever have. These things have consequences, OK?”

“I don’t know what the motivations of the shooter are,” he continued. “I don’t know any of the details, but I know the rhetoric around Trump has grown really extreme. You mentioned some other violence. You didn’t mention the Supreme Court attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice or the congressional baseball game where Steve Scalise was nearly murdered—one a conservative, the other a Republican. But we have people in this country who are dedicated to telling half the country that if Donald Trump wins an election, the country will end, the Constitution will go away and so on and so forth. What I want to hear from all elected officials is this kind of hyperbolic extremism has consequences, and it must end. Yes, we are all shocked. And yes, political violence has no place. Where does it come from? It’s got to stop.”

#1 Yes, the truth has consequences. It’s not a game show. My patience for the CNN folks and the 40 percent of Americans who are leftist morons and support ANTIFA is exhausted. Have whatever federal law enforcement agency that doesn’t report to Wray or Garland sweep up all the ANTIFA militants and put them on ice for 3 years until we figure out what to charge them for.

#2 A CNN contributor said it on CNN - if anybody still watches that -

#8 “The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.” - Author Unknown.

Sadly, I feel that we are very close to this point.
