This assassination attempt feels different.
Following the previous attempts on the president’s life, progressives briefly acknowledged that their false and ugly depiction of Donald Trump as a modern-day Hitler with a penchant for rape may have inspired the violence.
One might hope for deeper soul searching this time, considering that the would-be assassin at last Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner specifically echoed left-wing talking points about the “traitor” and “pedophile” in the White House.
Instead of experiencing a come-to-Jesus moment, progressives have denied, deflected, and explained away their complicity.
Some give-no-quarter lefties claimed that Trump had staged the incident to make himself the victim, while many others blamed Trump for poisoning the nation – i.e., he had it coming.
