Dick Durbin Shuts Down Trump’s Claims Of Democratic Mobs With 3 Words


Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) had three words that shut down Trump’s projection that Democrats are an angry mob.

Durbin was asked on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper about Trump’s new attack on Democrats, and he said,

“I listened to the president’s plea at these rallies, and rallies are kind of standard fare as we get close to an election. I can’t believe this mob rule charge. I have three words for the president. Lock her up. Rally after rally, his supporters are out there screaming lock her up, every time he mentions a Democrat, particularly if it’s a Democratic woman. And here we have a situation where the president goes to Montana and praises, again, a Republican congressman for body-slamming a reporter and we’re supposed to be the mob? Give me a break.”

Trump is playing on the Republican persecution complex

Trump knows that Republicans will only show up to vote if they feel threatened, which is why he cooked up this allegation that Democratic mobs are coming to get Republicans. Democrats aren’t mobs. They don’t use violence or threaten violence against Republicans. When Donald Trump and his followers chant lock her up or punch protests, no one calls the old white men in Trump’s audience a mob. To Trump, only minorities and women are capable of being mobs.

The only thing more absurd than Trump’s claim is the mainstream media tying themselves in knots trying to explain how it might work.

8. I Have a Little Formula When It Comes to Trump.

Whenever he says anything, no matter what he says, I automatically assume that: A) the exact opposite is true; B) What he is accusing others of he is at least ten times as guilty of himself; or C) both A) and B). So far, my little formula is working very well.

9. Once again, whatever he/they say we are doing, ...

... is EXACTLY what THEY are doing (and they are turning reality on its head. The gas-lighter in chief and his angry mob, including the GOP, are evil.
