"Violence has no place in America," posted Kamala Harris on Sunday, following media reports of the second assassination attempt against former president and 2024 Republican nominee Donald J. Trump. In a longer statement, Harris claimed to be "deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former President Trump," adding "I condemn political violence. We all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence."

If Harris is so very "disturbed," she should do her "part" and tell her party to refrain from dangerous pro-violence rhetoric. Since Trump's election in 2016, Democrats, including Harris' own campaign, have made a regular habit of calling the leader of the opposition a "threat to our democracy." Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.) menacingly summed up his party's message in a televised interview with former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psakilast November: Trump, he said, "has to be eliminated." David Plouffe, a senior advisor to the Harris campaign, is on record saying "It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again."
