Have you ever asked yourself why very few if any democrats will condemn the violence of their lunatics or cool it with the hateful, violent rhetoric? Democrats who just a few years ago were for law and order and immigration control, now have been forced to abandon their beliefs. Now they are afraid of a small group of bullies led by AOC, Jasmine, the squad and their allies. Scared silent. Not allowed to give their views because the 15 percent radicals have the other 85 percent scared into submission. Total fear. Itâs like that episode of the twilight zone where the adults of the town were afraid that the child will banish them to the cornfield. Iâve never seen anything like it. So weird. So cultish.
Example. Sheâs afraid to say â â â â â
This is a 48 second video and to be fair I would not expect any politician on either side to answer a question like that from what appears to be just some joe public.
This is actually media training 101. Now could she have handled the interaction better sure but these types of questions are rarely asked in isolation they tend to be setting up another question which is the real gotcha.
Even if she answered yes then the follow up could be and how do you define political violence, if she said nothing the story is dems cannot define political violence. If she starts to talk about defining political violence then she is openeing up a whole slew of questions and possible gaffes.
These types of questions for any politician are dangerous and tend to be a trap.
I guarantee if any of us were politicians we would quickly learn to keep our mouth shut.

Yup.
As an example: Have you stopped beating your kids?
Yes⌠She should answer him. Sheâs trying to get a job working for him.
So your spin is that sheâs not afraid to answer the question? She just needs somebody more important to ask it? Hogwash. Theyâre all afraid to be subject to the wrath of the bullies led by AOC, Jasmine, the squad and their allies.

Oh man. Youâd hate watching literally every interview this current administration gives.
Answer: I never started and never will.
See how easy that was?

From my perspective it is understandable why a Democratic candidate will not engage with a random person on the street asking about condemning dangerous political rhetoric. Who is this person? Just a stranger with a camera. Is he even eligible to vote in her election?
Voters can watch the interaction and form their own opinions, but any politician (dem or rep) with even basic media training is advised to avoid these types of impromptu questions. In contrast, a press conference or town hall is a more controlled environment where candidates expect and prepare for tough questions. There is an element of control.
The reality is, no matter what answer she gives, it is not goong to satisfy you or the right.
While some may claim Kirkâs murder was his own fault, those voices are really just random social media posts, not representative of any major stance. Both sides, however, are eager to capitalize on the tragedy for political gain.
Kirks murder is sad and wrong however social media thrives on outrage and division. This is how these platforms are monetized. Expecting a return to the more respectful politics of the past is unrealistic and that era is gone for good.
No, because only a blind partisan righty with a need to be hateful to people they donât agree with politically would phrase a question this way.
The straightforward answer is yes.
Even that is easily and succinctly answered. Itâs violence that is done to convey a political message.
Now I agree that the initial question is likely a setup for subsequent gotchas. It could go in all sorts of directions. Example: âDo you condemn so-and-so saying this-and-thatâŚ?â (Where so-and-so is a political ally.)
A good politician â especially one running for something like a Congressional seat â should have the capacity to handle questions, and to gracefully sidestep those that really donât apply to him/her.
The initial question should have had a quick and direct answer.
Except Trump. That, he will never learn. Seriously.
Yeah, that part bothers me. Age of cellphones. Anyone can tape anything (and maybe even alter it) and post it on the internet, and ⌠as far as I am concerned, that sort of âmediaâ shouldnât drive any meaningful narrative.

I think the Radicals are the Mainstream Dems now.

You would think a simple yes would be sufficient but with this type of interaction that would not be enough. The person asking the question was not interested in gaining a honest perspective of her thoughts he wanted a social media gotcha.
Speaking of spying on people with devices.
