Mark Halperin’s guest Ray says 39 minutes in: “From a MAGA perspective, the Democrats should all be killed.”
I’ve never heard a Republican or a conservative express this desire.
YT comments:
* “Sorry for the bad word” said with such sarcasm and disdain – give me a break, Rich.
* Mark, I have to give you full marks for calling out Rich immediately. The sad part is, if you hadn’t, do not believe that he would have even noticed that he had said something so horrific. It seemed like it really was him just saying the silent part out loud. He didn’t really apologize for saying it… It was more of those. I’m sorry what I said offended you types of ghoulish remarks.
This is exactly what we have been talking about. It’s exactly what Sean has been talking about. It is not the same on “both sides”.
* Rich was hard to watch but extremely valuable to see. It wasn’t about a “bad word”. It was about the fact Rich actually thought Republicans want to do that. He’s clearly put himself in a bubble and surrounded himself with only people who thinks like him. Then he proceeds to take in irresponsible “journalists” like Maddow and the like who make monsters out of MAGA. What’s dangerous is that when people convince themselves the other side wants to kill them, it can lead to accepting killing of the other side out of “self defense”. MAGA thinks there are crazies among the Left that want to kill us. That’s because it’s actually happened. As Charlie Kirk’s wife sadly can attest. But we don’t think all of the Left want to kill us. It’s astounding a grown man can think that of the Right. But it’s what happens when you cocoon yourself into an ideological bubble. It’s dangerous to yourself and others.
