BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

He is terrible for this country, and saying that is not condoning any sort of criminal activity. - They try to do this every time, and it never works...because, there's no causality there.

Bash often trips over her own words. Raskin pushed back with aplomb and decency. Trump is terrible for the US, in fact he is terrible for the world. He is El Diablo Destructo on the war path to hide his pedophilia. #Epstein

Why don’t they ever ask if TRUMP’S rhetoric needs too be cooled down? Maybe the violence is a response to Trump’s rhetoric. There really is one person that regularly glorifies violence. Is gleeful about it. One person that is vocally and obnoxiously both a sore loser AND somehow sore winner.

Of course Mr Trump would never indulge in nasty rhetoric against Democrats, like suggesting that some of them should be executed for reminding the armed forces not to obey illegal orders. Nor would he incite an insurrection; he'd simply recommend that tourists explore the Capitol building.

Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, Van Jones and the whole lineup on CNN are pathetic examples of what passes for “journalism” today. They put their personal “brands” before objective reporting and certainly well ahead of America and normal order.

Also Raskin: “Quiet Piggy” “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.” “Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

Hey, don't say "bar" too loudly. Kash might hear and burst through your wall like the Kool-Aid man! Same thing with RFKjr. Don't order a Coke unless you want him and his pal Kid Cuck showing up, straw in hand, looking for the closest bathroom.

Bash wants to keep her job when the sale of CNN is done and she becomes part of State TV. Maybe it's Trump's hate-filled, ugly, violent rhetoric that's putting bullseyes on him and not what the Democrats say.

So Dana Bash calls it rhetoric when in reality it’s actually factual. So she’s ok with trumps fraud , trumps orders of murder against innocent ppl. Trumps rapes. She can F off

What disturbs me is that Raskin appears to not have a problem with him personally. Seriously????????!!!! He is not only the worst president ever, he is a horrible human being.

"What rhetoric did you have in mind?" was a question she didn't seem prepared to answer but is such an obvious and important response to the initial question.

Pointing out the authoritarian & violence-inciting methodologies of Trump(ism) is NOT inciting violence toward Trump. The media disappointingly is not pointing that out. Trump UNAMBIGUOUSLY INCITING VIOLENCE: —2ndA people taking Hillary out. —Telling a cops convention not to be “nice” to suspects. 👇

Don't forget "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. " - DJ Trump, 2016

Unfckingreal. Hasn't it been shown that all these shooters, would be shooters, suspected potential shooters, and assassins (kirk), were to a man Trump supporters? They arent attempting to attack him for the rhetorical reasons Dems are. They are doing so bc they view him as too soft or pro Israel.

Notice how she never once points to the heated rhetoric spewed by Trump, his entire Administration, and the GOP as a whole. They only ever point to the mean democrats calling Trump corrupt (because he is) and a fascist (because he is)!

In the infamous 2024 Biden vs Trump debate, Dana Bash let Trump keep lying about who pays for tariffs without ever bothering to to correct him. Dana is a Trump enabler and stenographer.

Nice to know Raskin has nothing against Trump personally, it's his policies be doesn't like. The fact that Trump is a racist, a rapist, a financial fraudster, a war criminal, doesn't bother him in the least. It's just that he doesn't like his policies. 😏

The msm continues to embarass themselves with this both sides nonsense. Who was the alleged shooter? What were his politics? Both the other alleged assassination attempts were trump supporters who were tired of his lies.

Oh for goodness sake. The last three political assassins have been right wing. Let's stop pretending this was in any way inspired by a democrat.

Why should they "think twice"? In opposition you call out dog toffee policies for what they are. You call out dog toffee people for who they are. Idiots with firearms who want to shoot politicians, are not, by and large, influenced by opposition politicians. They normally have a personal animus

Let's talk about all the inflammatory insults hurled at democrats by this so-called president. Including calling for the deportation of permanent residents who came under refugee protection. Or calling reporters piggy & incompetent liars. Let's start there.

Agreed. He couldn't even bring himself to release some standard crap about thoughts and prayers. He just shrugged it off like nothing had happened, but made the murder of bigot Charlie Kirk a national tragedy.

Or the Michigan Synagogue truck ramming, or the Pelosi hammer, or the Shapiro Arson or THE FUCKING INSURRECTION !! If Trump hadn't instilled so much hate in this country, I'm pretty sure The Hortman's would still be alive !

They grade on a scale. Equal criticism regardless. Also if you ask that question to a republican they will call you fake news and berate you. Dems need to start getting tougher

After seeing Andrew Callahan talk about suits scripting his entire interview with CNN I can't help but feel it's all scripted now. Fascist machine propaganda with actors given bullet points in advance, regardless of party. They're all in the same club.

Yep. She is awful and gets to hide behind a sweet persona. She is dangerous. I hope she gets plastic surgery soon so her outsides can match her insides.

Here is the real story. A majority of Americans hate him. Some that hate him are loopy as fuck. Since it is America, everyone has guns. Therefore, when you add hate + lunacy + guns out the dick, you get people trying to kill him every once in a while. No big deal. Let's get back to the issues.

Dana Bash is a disgrace. Why doesn't she ask the same question to the republicans when they come to her show about how the president talk about the democrats. Shameful.

It makes sense when a while back, one of Trump's big rich fans, Chris Licht, owned CNN and reformatted it to favor the Republicans more, and now the admin is trying to get CNN bought up and more MAGA-fied.

Yes. CNN was responsible for his 2016 election, I've always believed. I avoid watching it like the plague and hope it dies a painful and ignominious death, or whatever is the worst that can happen to a corp. & sooner rather than later.

Now ask about Trump's nightly hours of bleeting hate, his daily hate before cameras, Leavitt's daily hate before cameras, half the Congressional GOP's daily hate in front of cameras! Dana, this is chicken s&>/. Tell Tapper to get off his lazy and do the same to dementia Trump he did to Sleepy Joe!

MAGA wants sympathy for Trump, who has never apologized for anything in his miserable life, regularly attacks people for no reason, and once said "we just need to get over it" about a school shooting.

He's never worked a real day in his life, he is a serial abuser, and has never suffered consequences for any of the endless horrible things he's done. The worst thing that happened to him the other night was tripping over his own swollen cankles. Fuck him.

Wow, she must have had a cup of maga juice in the morning! She made some shit up and acted as if it was fact just nutty! Jamie Raskin answered so perfectly left her speechless.

Fuck Dana, he’s an evil bastard who is destroying the entire country. Everyone hates him, everyone sees the costs going up, nonsense wars…it’s not Democrats fault that he did another phony assassination attempt.

accurate transcription: BASH: Talking about the fact that, you know, he's terrible for this country... nice of her to admit that it's a fact

I LOVE that Raskin asked her "what rhetoric"...and she didn't have a single thing to quote. "Oh he's terrible for the country" is an anodyne complaint for any opposition party to say about their opponent. (Feeling bitter since I/we are regularly called commie terrorists who eat babies and pets.)

“The Trumps laughed at Paul Pelosi. Mike Lee laughed at the assassination of Mark and Melissa Hortman. Literally. They all meme-ed the Whitmer kidnapping plot. Trump pardoned the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol. Trump paid a settlement to Ashli Babbit who attempted to storm the building…

Jaysus that is fecking lame. Heated rhetoric? That? Are ya barkin’ mad, love? Have ye heard the carrot-hued crapweasel speak? About anyone? Ever? I’ll see your question and raise you a fucking speak truth to power. Stop auditioning the Trump Shitspinners.

Dana, truth and facts are part of “rhetoric”. You are using the term as a negative when by definition it includes ethos, pathos, and Legos. You and your brethren using it as a derogatory phrase is disingenuous and lazy

But its the truth. He is a danger to the entire planet. We need to say it. Stop pretending like he is behaving like a normal sane human being.

So glad he asked that question. Criticizing a President should never be confused with “heated rhetoric” or suggesting violence. Now, on the other side, when Trump calls others enemies of the state or animals, that would be “heated rhetoric.”

He is terrible for the country, for the world, for whatever future we are leaving for the next generation. All of that is obviously true. He's a terrible, awful human being. A crook & a clown. Staged assassination attempt or not, those things are still true.

Hasn’t she made enough money that she could have said “FUCK YOU!” to her boss after being ordered to ask such a stupid & inane question? Send her to a home for the politically insane.

Exactly. Too many people with "fuck you" money are driven to get more, no matter what. For 99% of the world's population, being the head of FIFA would be a dream job that would set our families up for generations. And 99% of us wouldn't make a fake golden prize for trump.
