THE DEMOCRATS, WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THREAT TO DEMOCRACY AND ALL OF THIS, AND IT SEEMS THAT BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE WERE RADICAL LEFTS. THE INVESTIGATION IN PENNSYLVANIA HASN’T UNCOVERED THE POLITICAL LEANINGS OF THE SHOOTER. WHILE THE SUSPECT IN FLORIDA EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS. NO ONE HAS TRIED TO KILL KAMALA HARRIS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND TWO PEOPLE NOW HAVE TRIED TO KILL DONALD TRUMP IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE LEFT NEEDS TO TONE DOWN THE RHETORIC AND NEEDS TO CUT THIS — OUT. WHILE IN WASHINGTON, IN AMERICA, OUR DEMOCRACY FLOWS FROM THE BALLOT BOX, NOT FROM THE BARREL OF A GUN.
