Karoline Leavitt: “This political violence stems from a systemic demonization…”

“Debating, peaceful protesting and voting are how we need to settle disagreements, not bullets. Nobody in recent years has has faced more bullets and more violence than President Trump. This political violence stems from a systemic demonization of [President Trump] and his supporters by commentators, yes, by elected members of the Democrat Party and even some in the media. This hateful and constant and violent rhetoric directed at President Trump day after day after day for 11 years has helped legitimize this violence and bring us to this dark moment.” (09:37–09:49)
