MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said on “Deadline” Monday that the connection between political violence and former President Donald Trump's “rhetoric” is “undeniable.”
Wallace said, “We were talking about a community in Ohio where two elementary schools and two middle schools were closed and older students and college students were learning online because of bomb threats because the people who ran the schools felt they couldn't keep their students safe in the face of racist slurs about Haitian-Americans eating cats and dogs. Donald Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance, can best be described as having no remorse or apology for the words that created that environment of intimidation. Is there any reporting that indicates they have reconsidered their own rhetoric against vulnerable communities in this country?”
“To answer your question, no,” reporter Vaughn Hilliard replied.
He added, “The political violence and instability in our communities extends beyond the threat to Donald Trump himself. We're seeing that in Springfield, Ohio.”
“In all these tragic mass killings, mass shootings, the perpetrators themselves have pledged, in their own words and in their manifestos, to adhere to the Great Replacement Doctrine. This is the ideology that underlies a lot of anti-immigrant, anti-immigrant, anti-asylum seeker rhetoric, of course the Buffalo Massacre, the Tree of Life Massacre, the El Paso Massacre. The connection between words, guns and actions is undeniable,” Wallace said.
