“We may disagree on whether the federal government should have a simple flat tax or a massively confiscatory federal income tax, but those differences should not lead to demonization, vilification and personal attacks,” Cruz continued. Unfortunately, mainstream liberals have vastly contributed to this culture of hatred. From mocking the sitting President’s death in a Shakespearean play to holding up a faux, decapitated bloody head that resembles President Trump, radical leftists have openly stated that the death of the President is a humorous and comical matter. The reality is that it is not. However, in perpetuating this level of hate, liberals embolden and empower people like Hodgkinson who are demented enough to actually attempt to carry out what is being imitated in the media. It sends a horrifically wrong message.
Despite the differences that Senator Cruz had with President Trump over the past year, he never advocated for any harm to come to the Commander in Chief, which is more than many leftists can say. The 2016 election was vicious, divisive, and nasty, but at the end of the day, Mr. Trump won the nomination and he won the Presidency. That should be the end of it. Many Americans did not like President Trump and did not vote for him; that is their right. What people do not have the right to do is stage plays where the President is shot in the head or partake in graphic photoshoots where the head of a sitting President is severed, covered in blood, and held up with one hand.
