"The left supports political violence more than the right does. That`s just a fact. And again, this could get into a sort of perverse kind of accounting that`s in some ways impossible. There`s hundreds of millions of people in America, all of whom have access to social media and can say whatever. But when you`re talking about political leadership, I thought of you because you were on the receiving end of political violence."
"I`ll tell you what I think. I think that no American politician has done more to normalize political violence in this country other than Donald J. Trump. He has used inciteful language, dehumanizing language, to describe his dissenters or his political opponents. And I would argue that in pardoning at least the 530 some odd insurrectionists who violently assaulted police officers on January 6th, 2021, he is advocating for the use of political violence in furtherance of his administration."
Former DC Metro officer Michael Fanone, who suffered a heart attack after being assaulted by Trump supporters during the Capitol riot, accused President Donald Trump of normalizing and advocating political violence. Fanone cited dehumanizing, inciteful language and the pardoning of roughly 530 insurrectionists who violently assaulted police on January 6, 2021, as evidence that the administration signals immunity for violent acts. The exchange referenced claims from figures like J.D. Vance that the left supports political violence more than the right and occurred amid finger-pointing after the Charlie Kirk killing.
