WTF? RNC chair just asked BOTH parties to calm tension?

Sorry for having no link, but I just read on Twitter that the RNC chair asked both parties to help "ease tensions" after what's gone down at the Trump rallied. NO! It's all on them. As heated as it's gotten in our primaries, no ones thrown any punches.

But we should expect this from them- if the RNC is speaking, they are misdirecting or outright lying.

When their candidates suck, all candidates suck or so any Republican will tell you. So this line of shit goes along that same line.

Cleveland is going to be bedlam in July. Then the world will know!

Actually, if he's admitting that Republicans are doing something wrong, this is progress of a sort. If Democrats were actually partly at fault, he would be blaming only us.

Unfortunately, on this one the Democrats do not have as much moral high ground as they usually do.

Everyone knows it's just a matter of time before one of the Trump "patriots" exercises his second amendment rights at a rally. They should also be worried about a George Wallace scenario. The shooter didn't have a beef with Wallace, he just wanted to be famous.
