Two days ago Donald Trump released a campaign ad<\/a><\/strong> that made a remarkable and nauseating accusation. The ad was rife with racist rhetoric and insults aimed at his political foes. The most disturbing part was where it charged that \u201cDemocrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants.\u201d<\/em> That is not only flaming bigotry, but it also demonstrates a totalitarian warning to anyone who might stand in the way of the Bully-in-Chief.<\/p>\n

\"Trump
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The ominous tones of that ad are reflected in the news that a terrorist threat has just been made against CNN employees. A caller to the CNN office in Atlanta made overtly terroristic threats that were filled with profanities and racial epithets. More than twenty calls were made within a two day period. The caller’s irrational outrage was expressed in terms that are recognizable to anyone who has been following Donald Trump. According to CNN<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“Fake news. I’m coming to gun you all down,” said the caller, who cursed and used an expletive directed at African-Americans, the affidavit said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I am on my way right now to gun the f****** CNN cast down …. I am coming to kill you,” the caller said a second call to CNN, according to affidavit.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sound familiar (more detail here<\/a><\/strong>)? These are sentiments that Trump has been disgorging for the past couple of years. His hostility toward the media is well documented. He has maligned them in Stalinist language as “the enemy of the people<\/a><\/strong>.”<\/em> He demeans reporters as “sleazy,”<\/em> “dishonest,”<\/em> and “horrible people.”<\/em> He advocates changing laws to make it easier to sue publishers. He has featured CNN in particular as the victim of his violent abuse in tweets where he body slams them<\/a><\/strong> or runs them down<\/a><\/strong> with a train.<\/p>\n

Trump has even speculated about literally killing reporters. It may have been his idea of a joke, but is the consideration of murdering journalists really funny? At a campaign rally in Virginia he revealed his true feelings<\/a><\/strong> about the press to his audience of drooling disciples saying “I hate some of these people, I hate \u2019em. [But…] I would never kill them. I would never do that. Uh, let\u2019s see, uh…\u201d<\/em> He eventually concluded that he probably wouldn\u2019t kill them, but he had to think about it.<\/p>\n

And now one of his devoted minions has taken it to the next level by openly threatening the same news organization that Trump has attacked with unambiguously violent rhetoric and imagery. What did Trump expect? This was as predictable as a sunrise. And just because this crackpot was foiled doesn’t mean there aren’t others waiting for their opportunities. When Trump says that Democrats are complicit for any murders committed by undocumented immigrants he is reaching way too far to make any sense. But his warped logic applies much more accurately to his own incitement to violence against the media. And if one of his twisted troops manages to follow through on his mission, there will most assuredly be blood on Trump’s hands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
