I can't think of a single prominent Democrat that has even remotely suggested the threat of violence against anyone. On the other side you have numerous sitting and past Republican members of congress that have made repeated public statements about "2nd Amendment solutions". You have dipshits like Ted Nugent who makes repeated threats of violence against numerous elected Democrats and even a sitting President, yet is appointed to the board of the NRA, invited to speak at CPAC, and gets an invite to the White House and a chat session with Trump. Meanwhile speaking of Trump he openly incites violence against protesters at his political rallies. So there's really no mistaking that Trump is the anointed one (both figuratively and literally) of GOP violence against Democrats, and it's not as if there aren't countless examples of their cowardly words inciting action up to an including the death of numerous people.

He has occasionally done this during the past when he correctly attributed causes.
