Tom Cotton, Kari Lake show how much Trump, Republicans have normalized violent rhetoric
Republicans Kari Lake and Sen. Tom Cotton both spouted outrageous violent rhetoric this week, and nobody seems to care. Americans deserve better.
One high-profile Republican, a sitting U.S. senator, suggested peaceful protesters should be thrown off bridges.
Another high-profile Republican, often mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate, told supporters to “strap on a Glock” to prepare for this year’s presidential election.
It would be nice to report that each of these public figures, Sen. Tom Cotton and U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, respectively, faced bipartisan condemnation for their violent rhetoric. It would be reasonable, in a normal society, to assume such comments would bring a swift end to their political careers.
That’s where we should be as a nation – unwilling to put up with bellicose garbage babbled by opportunistic loons.
