@brightlights : on Sunday protestors in Kentucky hung an effigy of Beshear from a tree limb at a mock lynching at the state capitol. They attached to the effigy's shirt a piece of paper that said "Sic Semper Tyrannis," the same motto John Wilkes Booth shouted in 1865 when he murdered President Abraham Lincoln, and the same words that were on the t-shirt Timothy McVeigh wore in 1995 when he set the bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City that killed at least 168 people and injured more than 680 others.
But while some are emboldened by Trump's rhetoric, others recognize that his vitriol has become unhinged and that Americans are turning against it, and him. In response to Trump's tweets about Scarborough, Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) tweeted: "Completely unfounded conspiracy. Just stop. Stop spreading it, stop creating paranoia. It will destroy us."
to suggest the president doesn't hold sway over his fringe right following is either naive or selectively dishonest. this is what he thrives for, this is the response he loves.
yes he absolutely emboldens those who would not be so bold or brazen to put a voice to their otherwise unacceptable ideals.
