It’s a good thing the news media is impartial and neutral, eh?
We should show grace to Donald Trump – and fight to keep him from office | Opinion
A man who has rarely extended grace to his opponents is receiving grace from his opponents — and he should. He must.
And we must be unified in our horror that 20-year-old Thomas Crooks tried to murder Donald Trump.
There is no wiggle room, no clinging to the safety of partisanship, no giving into our dark angels. The world is watching. Our hearts should ache, our souls shudder. History will judge if we don’t find the compassion to keep the torch lit during a difficult period the way so many others did before us, and judge us harshly.
I wonder about all the nasty things that have been published in the Raleigh News and Observer that I’ve seen since 2015.
But in a country that is just, no man would get to spend years fomenting violence then benefit when that violence visits his front door. Trump is still not worthy of leading this nation. His indecency helped bring us here. To deny that is to deny truth and undermine the greatness we proclaim but often don’t uphold.
And there you go, it’s all Trump’s Fault that someone went batshit insane and took a shot at him.
We should pray for his health just as we should for any victim of violence. We should also continue doing everything we can to ensure he doesn’t return to office. He remains a threat to democracy. The way to beat threats to democracy is with the ballot box, not the bullet.
And that’s exactly the kind of rhetoric that caused someone to take a literal shot at him. Of course, “journalist” Issac Bailey goes on to say that Democrats are selfless and none of this is their fault. Perhaps he should have read his own opinion piece.
