Discussion: Trump Campaign Aide: Omar Endangering Herself With 'Ill-Thought-Out Words'

If some right-wing lunatic actually makes an assassination attempt, I expect Fox and Trump will be falling over themselves to blame the victim, that it’s her fault for saying anything which could be misconstrued and taken out of context.

Pelosi, clock’s ticking on the impeachment stuff, I know it was too early a month ago, but when the President is egging people on to kill lawmakers, pretty sure that meets high crimes and misdemeanors…

Yep, we wouldn’t be encouraging attacks on her if she hadn’t endangered herself.

Yes, we can’t have people saying “Ill-Thought-Out Words”…

And this is coming from the Trump Campaign…

Right…we ‘know’ those Deplorables would NEVER put 2+2 together and think Donnie is inciting violence with a 9/11 video superimposed on a pix of Omar. NEVER. It’s all HER fault.

"Those are her words. That’s what’s making the threats.”

Newspeak.

I suppose it’s important to have an official response from the Trump team, but it is dispiriting to have to start the day with yet another baldfaced lie.

Orwell was quite the lazy writer. All he did was time-travel to the future, copy down what the Trump administration was doing, and take it back with him.

Thus being hailed as a visionary, rather than a time-travelling thief of intellectual property.

The whole pack of trumpanzees belongs in jail.

It’s the kind of “defense” men who abuse women use.

What “ill-thought out words”? The faux outrage attacks on Rep Omar are criticizing for what she did not say rather than her actual words. The precious right wing snowflakes are trying to enforce their brand of PC on Omar because her shorthand reference to 9/11, “some people did something”, did not meet their standards

Does this president ever make a move to reduce the potential? Nope, boldly or with elliptical statements, he amplifies it.

Omar may have put herself into controversy. Trump is putting her squarely in the cross hairs.

It is deliberate and not only disregards the possible outcome, but encourages it completely. This is the measure of the man that he takes no concern to diminish the harm that may come to her. As he does with so many other people.

Poorly chosen words? What about your fucking boss?

The Trump Campaign is exempt on the grounds that few, if any, of its words are thought out in any manner.

Happens a lot.

People criticize someone for allegedly having said something – without ever quoting what was actually said.

You have to wonder why they do it.

(Or maybe you don’t.)
