Sarah Sanders told the press this morning that holding the President accountable for promoting a divisive and violent environment is as wrong as holding Bernie Sanders accountable for the left-wing nutjob who shot Steve Scalise.
She's right about the latter half of that statement, but way off-base about the first part.
The day Bernie stops strongly and immediately denouncing violent acts and starts encouraging his supporters to punch + 'knock the hell out of' political opponents and praising assault against journalists.............Sarah Sanders can make such a comparison without it being a blatant false equivalency.
What I do hope to see from leaders on the left is that they stop stooping to the President's level. Joe Biden doesn't need to talk about how he'd like to take Trump behind the stadium and beat him up. Maxine Waters shouldn't be encouraging people to circle and shout down members of the administration when they're off-the-job with their families. In my opinion.
