OPINION:
The recent news report regarding a man in Florida driving his van into a tent in which local Repubicans were registering voters should tell everyone that between the mainstream news media and the Democrats, the political left has accomplished its job: President Trump has been portrayed as the worst man to infect the world since the bubonic plague (“Florida man charged with driving into GOP voter sign-up tent,” Web, Feb. 9).
Mr. Trump has been demonized and maligned to the point that the mentally unstable, such as the aforementioned man, believe what they have heard, leading them to physically assault Trump supporters.
This act of revenge is squarely on the shoulders of the Democrats, who talk out of both sides of their mouths. They put out statements that acts like this one are unacceptable and we as a nation should get along, but then they turn right around and threaten us with more investigations and impeachments.
The top leaders of this con job are House Speaker Pelosi, Reps. Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler, and Sen. Chuck Schumer. They are responsible for filling the heads of the mentally ill with lies in order to provoke them into committing a crime.
As a former law-enforcement officer I have dealt with numerous people with mental issues. One thing I learned is that they can be easily led if the right button is pushed. The other thing I learned through many years of study is that a normal-thinking person can’t understand crazy.
The politicians mentioned above aren’t working in our best interests. They have violated their oaths of office and should be removed before they get someone killed with their rhetoric.
