The latest video from President Trump on Ilhan Omar is ?????:

And this had MSNBC’s Chris Hayes accusing the president of “willfully endangering the life of a member of Congress”:
The President is actively and willfully endangering the life of a member of Congress.

Excuse me? “By quoting her?”
By quoting her? https://t.co/2Zm705CxZx

Criticism = death threat, at least according to Hayes:
Journos now count all criticism of a favored politician as death threats https://t.co/uPuvNnA65i

Does criticism of Trump threaten him?
Shut up, Chris. Enough with this.
You want to criticize Trump or say his criticism of Omar is unfair? Fine.
If you're going to suggest it endangers her, then you have to explain how your and her attacks on Trump don't endanger him. It's a blatant and garbage double standard. https://t.co/AreUO5AKiJ

The left has been doing this for several months now. It's ridiculous and it's an obvious attempt to prevent any criticism of their most extreme elements.
You can't reasonably have it both ways. If criticism leads to violence, then yours counts too.

"Chris Hayes attacks Trump a few hours after man tries to set himself on fire in front of the White House"

What about when Omar dehumanized the president?
.@IlhanMN publicly said Trump is not a human being, didn’t see you jumping up and down calling her out for endangering the life of the President. https://t.co/oHH3PB3xtb

Maybe it’s Hayes who is endangering the life of Trump:
By this logic, MSNBC's Chris Hayes "is actively and willfully endangering the life of" of the President of the United States on an almost daily basis. https://t.co/Ej7OlaZNlZ

One of the lead collusion hoaxers, and a confirmed conspiracy theorist, who has incited hatred against the President of the United States, dares to claim the POTUS is the one “endangering lives.” ?? https://t.co/slws4BX6xD

And what about when politicians like Rep. Kathleen Rice publicly criticize Dana Loesch? How is that different, Chris?
And what about this, Chris? https://t.co/lLtPITTBPc https://t.co/ZEIWw0bKyB
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 12, 2019
And this:
This is insane. Stop acting like every single criticism is a threat on the life of the target of the criticism. It's very, very silly.
And if it were true (it's not), by your logic President Trump's life would be in constant peril. https://t.co/Mhxp5ZdOeP

Hayes doesn’t see it that what, however:
Criticism is not violence. Get a grip. https://t.co/U7HyqYXHWw

Completely agree and I criticize and am criticized all the time. As is the President, as is Rep Omar. This video is not "criticism"
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) April 12, 2019
How is it not? It directly contrasts the minimalist way Rep. Omar described 9/11 with the terror of what actually happened.
— Amber Athey (@amber_athey) April 12, 2019
I mean, I think what's going on here is pretty obvious.
