![]() With our country coming as close to a successful coup in its history, peeling off people from willing fascist supporters and enablers is important. Nicolle Wallace, Steve Schmidt, and other help build them a rope when they reach their individual tipping point. Many timid Republicans are staying with their party because of peer pressure. These comments from former Republicans carry quite a bit of weight. You gave me the building block for this morning’s video blog post to be played on my Monday’s Politics Done Right show. I had not seen the clip even though I love her show and watch it in the background all of the time. This is as close as I remember to what she said on her MSNBC show today: “I worked in Republican politics my whole adult life, and the Democrats were right about everything.” It is poetic justice watching many Republicans call out those who remain in the filth that is the Republican leadership and political structure.Ĭommenter Youffraita posted the following. MSNBC contributor Clint Watts saying that if what President Trump said had been said by fellow US citizen Anwar Awlaki, "we would be talking about a drone strike," was sponsored in part by NewDay AT&T.I posted the article “ Joe Scarborough ridicules Kevin McCarthy & his Democratic list: The 4yrs of McCarthyism are over” on. Wallace teed up Watts to make his extreme statement by suggesting that you have to deal with domestic terror by dealing with those inciting it. His killing via drone strike was ordered by President Barack Obama. Note that Awlaki, a recruiter and organizer of terrorist attacks for al-Qaeda, was a US-born, US citizen. So that's one aspect of our political leaders talking about this rhetoric. If you took what President Trump said, and you instead put it in Anwar Awalki’s mouth, we would be talking about a drone strike overseas. So, as Myles was talking about, he's exactly right. Which is, can you get way up, up the stream of an attack and start to root out all of the confluences which bring about that attack? We had a period after 9/11, where we were trying to get "left of boom" as they would say in counter-terrorism. You’ll always be on your heels, you'll always be reactive. How do you deal with a domestic-terror threat without dealing with those inciting it and spreading it?ĬLINT WATTS: Nicolle, you can’t. It always starts at the other end of the fish’s head, and goes to the incitement, the people sending out messages. I don’t know of any examples where they simply go to the crime scene and deal with the person who was radicalized to carry out violence. There are not two sides to be taken on the question of incitement.Īnd Clint Watts, I'd like you to speak about fighting terrorism, just generally, and as an art and a science. And this should come from every Democrat: you're either with them, or with us. NICOLLE WALLACE: I wouldn't waste my breath with them And I'd say to Democrats, it's time to roll out a terrorism-era choice for Republicans. WHAT? How is that not incitement to violence? How is that not inciting left-wing extremists to believe that President Trump deserves to be assassinated? According to Watts's bio, he's " a national security contributor for NBC News and MSNBC."
