It is the most disheartening aspect of the “Age of Rage.” Soon after the shooting of Minnesota politicians and their spouses, the press, pundits, and politicians leaped to capitalize on the tragedy by blaming the other side for political violence... jonathanturley.org/2025/06/15/the…
...There is a sick, almost hopeful, quality to the commentary as political pundits hope that they win this round of the assassination sweepstakes with a criminal associated with the other party...
...We should know the actual facts soon, including the contents of this manifesto. So here is a novel idea: perhaps we should wait for those facts rather than engage in this frenzy of recrimination and rage.
@JonathanTurley Perhaps half of Democrats are reasonable, and half are not. The sensationalism enrages the half of Democrats who are not reasonable, and pushed insanity on the US for the last 4 years. I'm all for keeping them enraged, and the Democrat party that brought us madness split.
@JonathanTurley Shooting from the hip.. we’re all guilty of it from time to time.. the battle of who will control the narrative..
@JonathanTurley Is somebody keeping score? In my mind it seems lopsided in favor of leftist violence. The mentally ill seem to gravitate towards the left. It has gotten particularly bad since the sexually confused got violent. And nothing on the right compares to Antifa and BLM.
@JonathanTurley You must be new to being around leftists I take it?
@JonathanTurley It’s unfortunate that we can’t ask the assassin questions directly, so we have to speculate and fabricate.
@JonathanTurley What drives some of it is dread. The right isn't devoid of nutcases and while we don't generally egg them on with rhetoric, that doesn't mean they won't ever do something stupid. When it happens, the left will make it sound like the right does it 2x/day and 3x on Sundays.
@JonathanTurley Guilty as charged man. You’re right.
@JonathanTurley The violence-promoting rhetoric from the Dems’ leadership for the past decade, and their blatant failure to condemn political violence has incentivized all those prone to violence to commit violence.
@JonathanTurley CNN spent like the shortest segment on this assassination; I think I know what ‘side’ this guy was from.
@JonathanTurley Scary to think where their limit is.
@JonathanTurley In many ways we are two countries and have been for awhile. A country divided against itself cannot stand.
@JonathanTurley I don't know if the Left has won any rounds, have they? Baseball shooting Kavanaugh attempt Lee Zeldin attack Brian Thompson (CEO of UnitedHealthcare) Donald Trump The Left has the Whitmer-FBI fednapping case?
@JonathanTurley Democrats can't help themselves! They thrive on chaos! It's hard to believe that JFK would approve or be associated with this party today! He loved America! The democrats today despise America and the Constitution.
@JonathanTurley Democrats are not normal people. Their broken.
@JonathanTurley The lunatic fringe of both parties is straight up gross.
