Trump "fuels" but Democrats are "accused"....

Democrats accused of fueling attacks on cops, ICE with incendiary political rhetoric

From dousing police with water to doxxing immigration agents to attacking detention centers, it’s been a long, hot summer for law enforcement, and the inflammatory political rhetoric on the left isn’t helping.

Four Immigration and Custom Enforcement facilities have come under siege in the last month, most recently the Tuesday shooting at the field office in San Antonio, Texas, as Democrats upped their attacks on the administration’s immigration policies with blasts at “concentration camps,” “Gestapo tactics,” and “children in cages.”

Her viral “concentration camp” comparison was cited in a manifesto by Willem Van Spronsen, the armed antifa activist who was killed by police July 14 after he threw incendiary devices at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, which he called an “abomination.”

“It has become fashionable again, in the aftermath of the mass shooting by a white separatist in El Paso, Texas, to ascribe blame for political violence to President Trump and his allies,” said the American Spectator’s John Jiang in a Thursday op-ed. “The knife cuts both ways.”

Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, cautioned against blaming political disagreements and policy debates for acts of violence committed by unhinged activists, but said politicians cross a line when they start invoking Nazi Germany.

The difference here, of course, is that the mainstream media amplifies the allegations against Trump, while they work their best to ignore similar allegations against Democrats. Moreover, they seem to jump through hoops to "find" connections that can tie acts of violence with Trump. In the case of the El Paso killer it was his use of the term "invasion" that prompted the media to declare that the killer was acting on Trump's behalf, while completely ignoring the 90% of his manifesto which justified his actions with social issues supported by liberals and Democrats. The knee jerk reaction from the press was to declare the California shooter a white nationalist based on a quote from a book that they felt was racist, only to walk back allegations when it turned out that the shooter was not White (Iranian/Italian).

On the flip side, you hear the media downplay the fact that the Dayton shooter was a supporter of Antifa and had been involved with armed protests that were at least Antifa influenced if not purely Antifa organized. The fact that he was a liberal, hated trump, and supported Warren were declared irrelevant by a hypocritical media.

Meanwhile, almost nobody has tied the recent attacks on ICE officials and ICE facilities to Ocasio-Cortez and her gang of "concentration camp" screamers. It was nearly impossible to not hear about her visits and the criticism of AOC and others regarding the detention facilities, or the ICE officials themselves. But the media has been a quiet as a church mouse about recent attacks on these facilities or on the ICE employees themselves (can anyone here even list the four attacks if they had even heard about all four?). Certainly if a shooter uses "one term" that they can associate with Trump (even as the same term can be associated with countless others) and cast blame. When the attacker in this case references the term "concentration camps" to justify his attacks, there really isn't anywhere else to go, but to associate it with Ocasio-Cortez and gang. But the lamestream media cannot quite seem to make that obvious connection.

The double standard would be laughable, if it wasn't so dangerous. Democrats at this point can literally incite violence (Castro's doxing donor list for example), and not face much, if any, scrutiny from most of the mainstream press. In fact, most liberals welcome such attempts to incite violence against conservatives, or otherwise find ways to hold conservatives "accountable" for having a difference of political opinion. The idea of some sort of political "civil war" is discussed ad nauseum by people on the left, as if it actually a justifiable means to garner the political power that they cannot seem to achieve at the ballot box.
