19. Trump does the same thing..

Remember when Sarah Palin did it? Right after she showed "cross hairs" in a hate post somewhere, Gabby Giffords was shot in the head and many other of her constituents shot and killed and others injured at the same time! I do think that incident was the deadliest when it comes to backlash from some dumbass politician spouting off. Republicans get so hateful and spiteful that they become downright uncivilized.
If we ever do wrestle this country back to it's senses, we must hold people to account for hate speech. No joking!
