Blood in the streets

Trump told a group of evangelical preachers yesterday that if the Republicans lost in November, violence would follow. 

Here is another take. An article by Niraj Chokshi entitled “Violence Increased When Cities Hosted Trump Rallies,” noted that a city that had a Trump rally saw an average of 2.3 more assaults reported on the day of the event compared to a typical day.  The lead researcher was Christopher Morrison, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Pennsylvania.  (The article was published in the New York Times, March 17, 2018.  The study was published in the journal Epidemiology.)

By the way , one of the evangelical preachers who spoke after Trump said, “”...we love you and we believe in you.”  I thought they were supposed to believe in Jesus, but these are strange times.
