- Time and time again, the president has condoned physical violence and divided Americans with his words and his actions: expressing support for the congressman who body-slammed a reporter, the neo-Nazis who killed a young woman in Charlottesville, his supporters at rallies who get violent with protesters, dictators around the world who murder their own citizens, and referring to the free press as the enemy of the people, they said.
- President Trump's words ring hollow until he reverses his statements that condone acts of violence, the two Democratic leaders said in a joint statement.
- Waters, California Democrat, called on Americans to absolutely harass Trump administration officials in public last summer in the wake of a furor over the separation of illegal migrant families at the Mexican border.
- The list of people targeted with suspected pipe bombs reads like President Trump's Twitter feed: Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, Maxine Waters, George Soros, CNN, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Eric Holder and George Soros, all prominent Democratic critics of the president.
- The president, and especially the White House press secretary, should understand their words matter.
- We've seen calls for incivility from both sides of the political spectrum, former FBI and CIA official Jeff Beatty said on CNN.
