Fossenkemper: Extreme rhetoric is dangerous

Posted

Two times in the last three months the Harris and Biden campaign rhetoric has yielded horrific results in our country. Countless times the President and VP have mouthed the cry that Trump will destroy democracy and our country if not stopped. 

Any logical person would know that words like those would find a home in the ears of some crazy people. In fact, Ryan Wesley Routh, whose alleged plans to shoot Trump in Florida, echoed those exact words on his social media site and authored a book telling foreign governments it would be okay to assassinate Trump. 

What Biden/Harris couldn’t accomplish with four years of attacks on Trump, their decision to turn to the kind of poisonous rhetoric we hear them repeatedly say now is beyond the pale. We cannot entrust our country to people who will stop at nothing to maintain power.
