Published | Video Starts at 01:06

So there's a sitting member of Congress who over the weekend on some talk shows was saying that President Donald Trump putting National Guardsmen on the streets was an unlawful order. We have people on CNN at competing network saying that putting National Guards people on the street is equivalent to Nazi Germany. So this inflammatory rhetoric by the left has to stop. Now. Did this drive this shooter? We don't know the answer to that question, but did it prevent him from doing it? (01:06–01:15)

CLAIM
