"Eric Trump says harsh political rhetoric 'might' be linked to violence," reports the HuffPost. Ditto here.

These headlines dutifully picked up the "might" part, but when questioned about any such link, Eric Trump actually said (to Fox), “Listen, there might be, and there might not be [emphasis added]."

Boy, there's a brainy answer: might or might not -- what an arrogant flake.

It's generally understood that too many drugs can kill brain cells; perhaps too much money does the same thing.

But this is really nothing new for Eric.

Speaking with KHOW (Denver) radio host Ross Kaminsky two years ago, Eric Trump said that a candidate for the United States Senate at the time, "deserves a bullet."

But even Eric couldn't quite keep up with Kaminsky's urging that the U.S. Senate candidate "desperately needs a bullet in the head."

In light of the current shooting in Pittsburgh, be careful what you wish for.

Something about what goes around . . .

Karma perhaps?

Like Antifa's Dwayne Dixon with his AR-15 at a political speech rally in Charlottesville, Eric Trump's incendiary violent rhetoric feeds into most any atmosphere of (political) violence.

The recent Acme "bombs" are one thing; Netanyahu's UN bomb was more threatening.

 

 

But Eric Trump's words and the Pittsburgh shooting involve real bullets, real people.
