Snopes: Did Donald Trump Encourage Violence at His Rallies?

[spanone]

There is a 2 minute video on the Snopes website at link that has everything on the cartoon....live and in-person
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trump-incitement-violence/

CLAIM
A viral cartoon accurately reproduces statements made by Donald Trump on the presidential campaign trail.

ORIGIN
Donald Trump faced criticism during his successful 2016 presidential campaign based on the aggressive atmospheres of many of his rallies, where tension and intimidation repeatedly spilled over into violence.

Some of that violence has resulted in lawsuits. In one ongoing suit, Kentucky protesters who attempted to disrupt a rally in March 2016 are suing the president in federal court for incitement to riot after he urged “Get ’em out of here” from the stage, upon which members of the crowd attacked and forcibly removed the protesters.

As part of these criticisms, a cartoon emerged in June 2017 which appeared to accuse White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders of misinforming the public about Trump’s record on encouraging or condoning violence.

8. That illustration is too flattering...

he is much more ugly, on the inside and outside.

[spanone]

10. I think we need an equivalency test...quote by quote.

[smirkymonkey]

9. He is a sick, sick man.

And a coward. If anyone ever challenged him to a fight, he would curl up in a little ball and wet himself.

[ProudLib72]

16. What happened to the fight Biden challenged him to?

That must have been a three Depends day for the old orange fart blaster.

[smirkymonkey]

17. He bravely ran away, away! Brave, brave Sir Shartman!

[bdamomma]

11. What a hateful

POS he is. He is totally horrible, if there is a higher power take him please.

[yonder]

20. I'd settle for the lower power, too.

13. They try to gaslight us by denying he said what we know he said.

How do we know what we said? We heard it with our own ears. And there are video tapes of the events where he encouraged the crowd to act in violent ways. He urged them to do things that he would never have the guts to do. He is a big coward, but has no problem telling others to fight.

How dare they tell us we did not hear him say those things? This is a no brainer. He did encourage violence and he is STILL doing it.

[FM123]

26. Gaslight is right.

What is that old saying...
"Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

[Hekate]

14. Kick and Rec

[spanone]

15. Anyone who says 'both sides do it' needs to be handed that cartoon

it's actually a docu-toon

[kag]

36. Did you just coin that?

I think I'm gonna use it! Docu-toon. Love it!

[Wawannabe]

18. 1,000 rec

OMG!

[JHB]

19. True

[PufPuf23]

21. Trump tells the lies to manipulate the insane mass that support him as POTUS.

He knows how vile he is to most and makes the statements and tells the lines as in your face spite towards those that do not provide support.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders should be ashamed to consider herself a moral person as she is a lying sack of shot and knows it and catapults the lies anyway.

[Initech]

23. Snopes is fake news!

[spanone]

24. Bwahahahahaaa

[Blecht]

25. Of course it's true

He's the worst ______ ever. So many choices for that blank ...

[thegoose]

28. The mark of a fucking coward

Standing there shrieking while his idiots roar in ecstasy. There will be more violence, that's for damn sure. I weep for this country.

[mr_lebowski]

29. Trump doesn't even have one good ball ... let alone a set ... (nt)

[spanone]

30. one. sick. fuck.

[peekaloo]

31. That question should be the 21st Century equivalent to

"does a bear shit in the woods?"

37. His narcissistic "Me NOW" pea-brain probably remembers none of it

Sad, really...

[bitterross]

38. None of my Trump-humping friends have disputed it.

On FB, I have a lot of "friends" from my home town in TN. If there is even a whiff of inaccuracy to something I post about Trump they call me on it.

I posted that 'toon and not a one of them has said a word. Everyone knows it's true.

[Achilleaze]

39. It's evil to advocate violence

But republicans worship and submissively follow a five-time draft-dodger who advocates violence. They are complicit.

40. Is water wet? Do fish swim?

Sheesh

[calimary]

41. Man, the cartoonists are having a field day with this bastard.

So are the late night comedians. If there’s one thing trump actually does well, it’s the part about generating material.
