Violence on the campaign trail

Trump and Vance are blaming Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for the recent attempts on Trump’s life.  For years Trump has been preaching violence against immigrants, the press, demonstrators, and his opponents.  If you want to know who to blame for threats of violence, consider this.

I have been distributing Harris signs around Carbon County.  Over 100 people have taken signs for their front yards or windows.  However, five people so far have turned down the offer of signs, even though they are strong supporters of Harris and Walz.  The reason:  They are afraid of being fire bombed, shot at, or harassed in other ways.  

I doubt if any Trump supporters in Carbon County have been afraid to take Trump signs because they worry that Harris supporters will attack them.  We don’t do that.  We don’t ride around in motorcycle gangs, threaten Trump supporters, or generally act like butt holes.  I think we all know where the talk of violence and retribution originates.
