● Her brother Eric ... called the head of the Democratic Party a “total whack job” and declared that “morality is just gone” from Democrats. “To me, they’re not even people,” he said.

● Her brother Donald Jr ... retweeted with approval a claim tying the shooting to “NY elites glorifying the assassination of our President.”

● Newt Gingrich ... tweeted a conspiracy claim that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III “is now clearly the tip of the deep-state spear aimed at destroying or at a minimum undermining and crippling the Trump presidency.”

● Her dad ... went on yet another Twitter tirade. He declared himself the victim of the “single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history — led by some very bad and conflicted people!” And he renewed his attack on his vanquished opponent, saying, “Crooked H destroyed phones w/hammer.”

I expected that. It just feels like abuse at this point and crazy-making.

Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Ailes.

These are the guys who started degrading our public discourse.
