Political Violence

Remember that time when Mitt Romney encouraged his supporters to storm the Capitol? Oh, wait… That didn’t happen.


Remember that time when McCain refused to concede, and his supporters sent death threats to local elections officials? Oh, wait… That never happened.


Remember that time when George H.W. Bush sent a mob to harm Dan Quayle unless he refused to certify that Bill Clinton won the election? Oh, right… That didn’t happen either.


Why is political violence unique to Trump and his supporters?
