Americans Believe the Media Are As Much to Blame As President Trump For Incitement of Violence

The claim against any evidence that somehow President Trump has become something of an garden industry in some quarters.

When Bernie Bro James Hodgkinson tried a decapitation assault on the GOP Congressional caucus, President Trump was to blame.

When a homeless male stripper sent unworkable simulated bombs to several high-profile lefties, President Trump was to blame.

When a guy who hated President Trump killed eleven people in a Pittsburgh synagogue, President Trump was to blame.

The nation sees Trump and the media as being equally responsible for encouraging violence.

If within each group you subtract the "Discourages" from "Encourages," President Trump comes out marginally better than the media, though within the margin of error.

In another sharp division, 68 percent of blacks see Trump as encouraging violence in the way he speaks; many fewer whites, but still 45 percent, say the same.
