Good morning. It is Wednesday, Sept. 18. Here’s what’s happening in Opinion.
Over the weekend Donald Trump was the apparent target of a second assassination attempt as he played golf at his West Palm Beach, Fla., club. Who knows what might have happened had the Secret Service not spotted the suspected gunman hanging out at the edge of the course before he could take a shot or even get a line of sight.
Unsurprisingly, Trump and his allies immediately put the blame for the incident on Democrats since they will not stop talking about what might happen if a self-proclaimed wannabe dictator wins the White House. “Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at,” the former president complained in an interview with Fox News Digital — adding, with no apparent irony, that Democrats are destroying the country.
“We cannot tell the American people that one candidate is a fascist, and if he’s elected, it is gonna be the end of American democracy,” Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, said after the incident. But it’s OK to say one candidate is a fascist — and a Marxist and a communist — and if she’s elected it will be the end of the country? Because those are accusations routinely hurled at Vice President Kamala Harris by Trump.
If there were such a thing as a hypocrisy meter, it would have hit 11 this week.

Remarkably stupid and dishonest...and hypocrisy about alleged hypocrisy - because if they actually believe this, and apparently want others to believe this - then they are encouraging more of this and can't possibly believe it would be a bad thing if it were successful.

Nobody is aiming firearms at Kamala Harris.
