Chicago Political Violence: Whose Fault?

by | Mar 14, 2016

Violence and the threat of violence let Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to cancel his scheduled rally in Chicago recently. Organized groups, some funded by “regime change” donor George Soros, have vowed to prevent Trump from holding rallies at all. Meanwhile Trump has used inflammatory rhetoric at rallies, urging supporters to use violence against disruptors. The other presidential candidates have blamed all the violence on Trump, but their admonishments ring hypocritical. For example, while Hillary Clinton condemns Trump’s words that may have resulted in a few punches being thrown, her own words — in particular her tireless advocacy for a US attack on Libya — resulted in tens of thousands being killed. Which is worse? Likewise, Ted Cruz condemns Trump’s rhetoric while at the same time he openly speaks of using nuclear weapons against the people of the Middle East. What is worse? The others are no different. We cover this difficult topic in today’s Liberty Report:
