"The President in no way form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence. If anything, quite the contrary." – @SHSanders45 6/29/17

If you’re keeping score at home, political rhetoric only inspires violence if it’s a Republican saying it:

Media then: violent lefty rhetoric had nothing to do with the Scalise shooting
Media now: Trump's wrestling GIF will get journos killed.
