And I will say that's just not accurate. It is true. Both sides should treat each other with respect. That's right. But this is not a problem that occurs on both sides. Two assassins tried to murder Donald Trump. It was a left wing radical antifa assassin, the who was living with a transgender that was transitioning from male to female, who murdered Charlie Kirk. This is a left wing phenomenon because they have spread poison. And if you tell people over and over again, the other side is Hitler, it justifies acts of violence and we need to say enough is enough and we need to shut it down. (00:51–01:08)
