<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hillary-clinton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hillary Clinton</a> likened Trump supporters to Nazis because they pointed in the air during a rally.
While speaking at the Texas Tribune festival in Austin, Texas, on Friday, the former first lady, secretary of state, and failed 2016 presidential candidate recounted that when she was a student, she wondered why people in the 1930s and 40s were so enthralled with Adolf Hitler. Clinton implied that a similar phenomenon was going on with Trump supporters because, like at Hitler&#8217;s rallies, people at Trump rallies raised their arms while he was speaking.
“I remember as a young student, you know, trying to figure out, how people get basically drawn in by Hitler,&#8221; Clinton <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI98TIm-r_I" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;How did that happen? I’d watch newsreels and I’d see this guy standing up there ranting and raving, and people shouting and raising their arms. I thought, ‘What’s happened to these people?’”
“You saw the rally in Ohio the other night,&#8221; Clinton continued. &#8220;Trump is there ranting and raving for more than an hour, and you have these rows of young men with their arms raised. I thought, ‘What is going on?&#8217; So there is a real pressure, and I think it is fair to say we&#8217;re in a struggle between democracy and autocracy.&#8221;

Clinton was referring to Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Save America&#8221; Rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on September 17. Trump closed his remarks with a prepared monologue set to dramatic music. As Trump was speaking, supporters in the audience raised their arms and pointed upward with their index fingers. Some commentators claimed the move was associated with the QAnon conspiracy theory, but others said the crowd was simply showing the number one in reference to Trump&#8217;s &#8220;America First&#8221; message.

Clinton was not the only left-wing figure to compare Trump supporters to Nazis after the rally. Washington Post columnist <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/19/trump-ohio-rally-qanon-media/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Rubin</a> claimed that Trump supporters pointing in the air &#8220;bore an uncanny resemblance to the infamous Nazi salute.&#8221; Other left-wingers, including feminist author <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyceCarolOates/status/1571921766393462789?s=20&amp;t=rTMfiSLBJheyqP7P7A8kHA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joyce Carol Oates</a>, Harvard professor emeritus <a href="https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1571503155204034561?s=20&amp;t=EsC-oen_6bwQvasIi0BNCQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Laurence Tribe</a>, retired Army General and MSNBC contributor <a href="https://twitter.com/mccaffreyr3/status/1571323249870671874?s=20&amp;t=v3NKX2ThGlowrASVFIz54Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barry McCaffrey</a>, and the left-wing legal organization <a href="https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/1571475307990863872" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Citizens for Ethics</a> all compared the rally attendees to Nazi supporters on Twitter.
“As usual, the media is working hand in hand with the Democrats weeks before an election,” Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich said in a statement to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/09/24/hillary-clinton-likens-trump-supporters-to-nazis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>. “It seems like perpetual-failed-candidate Hillary Clinton’s basket of deplorables has run stale, not unlike herself. It’s pathetic, it’s divisive, and it is further cementing her legacy of cringe.”
Clinton infamously labeled Trump supporters &#8220;deplorables&#8221; during the 2016 election. “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables,’” Clinton said at the time. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it.”
Clinton&#8217;s rhetoric is also similar to President Joe Biden&#8217;s recent line of attack against so-called &#8220;MAGA Republicans.&#8221;
At a closed-door event with supporters in Rockville, Maryland, in August, Biden said that the ideology of Trump and his supporters borders on fascism. “What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden said. “It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/25/biden-trump-philosophy-semi-fascism-00053831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">semi-fascism</a>.”

A leading independent pollster said Saturday that polls might seriously undercount Republican voters in the current political climate.
In a Twitter thread, Trafalgar Group chief pollster Robert C. Cahaly said that President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a>’s recent attacks on so-called “MAGA Republicans” will make polling supporters of former President Donald Trump even harder to poll than in previous years. Cahaly pointed out that in the last two presidential election cycles, name-calling and threats from prominent Democrats contributed to the phenomenon of the “shy Trump voter.” But as the 2022 midterms have begun in earnest, Biden’s escalating rhetoric against Trump supporters, accusing them of embracing “semi-fascism” and being a threat to America, will make these voters even harder to reach in polling.
“In 2016 Trump supporters were called ‘Deplorables’ and other unflattering names,” Cahaly wrote on Twitter. “This was a major contributor to the ‘shy Trump voter’ phenomenon that ‘most’ polling missed which resulted in a major loss in public confidence for polling flowing the election.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
“In 2020 people who supported Trump or espoused conservative values out of step with ‘Woke’ culture found themselves being ‘canceled’ or ‘doxed,’” Cahaly continued. “This led to ‘hidden voters’ that ‘most’ polling under counted, therefore Trump support in key battleground states exceeded expectations. Now [the] Biden administration has essentially classified ‘MAGA Republicans’ as a threat to democracy marshaling federal law enforcement to focus on them. This move has created a new type of voter that will be even harder to poll or even estimate.”

“I call this new group ‘submerged voters,’” Cahaly went on. “They aren’t putting stickers on their cars, signs in their yards, posting their opinions, or even answering polls.  At this point I think it’s fair to say that Biden’s pursuit of and attacks on ‘MAGA Republicans’ has created an army of voters who will be virtually impossible to poll (even for us) and more difficult still to estimate.”
”The 2022 Republican turnout will likely be higher than any of the polls or models are showing,” he concluded. “All polls (including ours) will understate the impact of these ‘submerged voters.’”

Other independent pollsters endorsed Cahaly&#8217;s assessment.
“Yes, call them an enemy of the state one month, and next month participation [falls],” Big Data Poll director <a href="https://twitter.com/Peoples_Pundit/status/1571132061054009347" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Baris</a> said in response to Cahaly’s comments. “And those who do claim to be ‘undecided’ across the board.”
&#8220;Voter demonization leads to devilish difficulties in surveying,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Rasmussen_Poll/status/1571237206672515078?s=20&amp;t=VCQRXt2QTG2g6SVYPNNN-A" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rasmussen Reports</a> replied, promoting Cahaly&#8217;s thread.
Cahaly’s remarks come after New York Times chief political analyst Nate Cohn warned that mainstream polling is significantly overstating support for Democrats and is headed for yet another serious polling miss.
“[The] warning sign is flashing again: Democratic Senate candidates are outrunning expectations in the same places where the polls overestimated Mr. Biden in 2020 and Mrs. Clinton in 2016,” Cohn wrote.
Cohn pointed to the example of Wisconsin, where institutional polls in 2020 overstated Biden’s support in the state by about 8 points; in 2022, polls are favoring Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes by a similar margin.
“It raises the possibility that the apparent Democratic strength in Wisconsin and elsewhere is a mirage — an artifact of persistent and unaddressed biases in survey research,” Cohn said. “If the polls are wrong yet again, it will not be hard to explain. Most pollsters haven’t made significant methodological changes since the last election.”

After she tweeted in January 2020 that “just about all” of former President Trump’s followers suffered from a “shared psychosis,” a doctor of psychiatry who taught at Yale University was terminated from teaching there. Now she’s filed a complaint against the university, claiming she was unlawfully terminated “due to her exercise of free speech about the dangers of Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency.”
Dr. Brandy Lee sent a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2019 arguing that Trump was showing “signs of delusion.” On January 2, 2020, after two of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims claimed they were forced by Epstein to have sex with famed attorney Alan Dershowitz — Dershowitz <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2019/07/epstein-lawyer-alan-dershowitz-says-he-has-perfect-sex-life.html">responded</a> by saying that since he met Epstein, he had only had sex with his wife, adding that he had a “perfect sex life” — attorney Richard Painter likened Dershowitz’s rejoinder to a remark of Trump’s, writing, “Just like @realDonaldTrump’s ‘perfect phone call.’”
That prompted Lee to tweet, “Alan Dershowitz’s employing the odd use of ‘perfect’—not even a synonym—might be dismissed as ordinary influence in most contexts. However, given the severity and spread of ‘shared psychosis’ among just about all of Donald Trump’s followers, a different scenario is more likely.”

The <a href="https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2020/01/27/dershowitz-requests-yale-to-investigate-psychiatrist/">Yale Daily News</a> reported what happened next:
<blockquote>In response, Dershowitz — a current member of Trump’s legal team and professor emeritus at Harvard — refuted Lee’s claims via a Jan. 11 Op-Ed posted on the website of the Gatestone Institute, an international policy council and think tank. The day the article went up, Dershowitz sent an email to University spokesperson Karen Peart and University President Peter Salovey’s Chief of Staff Joy McGrath requesting an investigation of Lee. He copied Lee and Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken on the email.
“Dr. Bandy Lee of the Yale Medical School has publicly ‘diagnosed’ me as ‘psychotic,’ based on my legal and political views, and without ever examining or even meeting me,” Dershowitz wrote. “This constitutes a serious violation of the ethics rules of the American Psychiatric Association. I am formally asking that association to discipline Dr. Lee. By this email, I also formally ask Yale University, Yale Law School and its medical school to determine whether Dr. Lee violated any of its rules.”</blockquote>
The chair of the Yale Psychiatry Department, John Krystal, then warned Lee via email that the department “would be compelled to &#8216;terminate [her] teaching role” if she insisted on repeatedly making statements about Trump and mental illness, writing, “Although the committee does not doubt that you are acting on the basis of your personal moral code, your repeated violations of the APA’s Goldwater Rule and your inappropriate transfer of the duty to warn from the treatment setting to national politics raised significant doubts about your understanding of crucial ethical and legal principles in psychiatry.”
The Goldwater Rule <a href="https://www.psychiatry.org/newsroom/goldwater-rule">states</a>:
<blockquote>On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.</blockquote>
On May 17, 2020, Lee was notified that she had been terminated. She appealed the decision in August and September 2020.
Lee told the <a href="https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2021/03/23/former-professor-says-yale-fired-her-over-tweet-on-trump-dershowitz/">Yale Daily News</a> of her complaint: “I have done this with a heavy heart, only because Yale refused all my requests for a discussion, much as the American Psychiatric Association has done. I love Yale, my alma mater, as I love my country, but we are falling into a dangerous culture of self-censorship and compliance with authority at all cost.”
Lee stated in her complaint that she did not diagnose Dershowitz, “but [was] rather commenting on a widespread phenomenon of ‘shared psychosis.’”
Dershowitz commented on the lawsuit: “[Lee] credits me with getting her fired. I’m not that powerful. I am pleased with the fact that I brought to Yale’s attention the facts that demonstrate her deviation from professional norms. The facts are the facts, and Yale acted on the documented facts, not on my opinion.”

Speaking about President Joe Biden holding a moment of silence for the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic on Wednesday, Princeton professor and MSNBC guest Eddie S. Glaude Jr. invoked a description of God from Psalm 147: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.&#8221; The professor also cited what he described as the &#8220;selfishness&#8221; and &#8220;greed&#8221; of Trump supporters in lamenting the death toll of the coronavirus.
Prior to his biblical characterization of Biden&#8217;s inauguration, Glaude, who is the Chair of the Center for African American Studies and the Chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University, characterized the last four years as marked by “selfishness,” asserting, “The selfishness that has kind of suffocated the land was held at arms length for a moment. We’ve needed a national ritual to mourn so that we can think about the morning.”
“And for a moment, just listening to the words of and the song and singing, the lights, President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris pulled the grief and regret out of the privacy of our hearts, if just for a moment so that we all could share it,” he continued reverently. “Cardinal Gregory put it powerfully: sorrow unites us. You know? We needed this ritual because the dead weren’t settled. People didn’t die right, Nicolle. And coming out of my tradition, when folk don’t die right they haunt.”
“So I’m thinking of Charlie, when he would slice that golf ball and cuss at the top of his lungs, or sit down and smoke cigars and talk about how bad we played and how good (sic) we would play the next round,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The thing about all of those folks who, just for the moment, the nation shared their grief. Oh what a first step, what a beautiful step. So I’m gonna — I’m reminded of the Psalmist, you know? ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.’ Maybe the [dead] will speak to us now, maybe they can rest.”
Pslam 147 begins, &#8220;Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.  He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.&#8221;
Glaude also targeted the 75 million people who voted for Trump, suggesting they were motivated by &#8220;selfishness&#8221; and &#8220;greed&#8221; and implicitly blaming them for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have died from the coronavirus:
<blockquote>You know, we’re at a crossroads as a nation, and you know, Brian, it’s easy for us to place all of the blame on Donald Trump. He makes it easy for us, you know? He does. But there were 75, 74-plus million people who voted for him. Selfishness, greed, you know, they run rampant across the land, but, you know, there’s something that President-elect Joe Biden said: “To heal is to remember. To heal is to remember.” 
So not only do we have to remember our dead, we have to remember what brought us to this moment, what got us here. And it’s not just Donald Trump. It’s not just him. And that honesty will help us walk the path that we need to walk, I hope.</blockquote>

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (SC) was verbally harassed by a group of Trump supporters at the Reagan National Airport on Friday, video from Trump supporter Mindy Robinson shows.
Robinson, who apparently took the video herself, and others can be heard calling Sen. Graham a &#8220;traitor&#8221; and calling for the presidential vote to be audited.
“You work for the people; you work for us; do you hear me?” one protester tells the senator.
&#8220;Lindsey Graham, you are traitor to the country! You knew it was rigged. You knew it was rigged, you garbage human being,&#8221; another protester screams, referring to the 2020 presidential election. &#8220;It&#8217;s gonna be like this forever, wherever you go, for the rest of your life.&#8221;
Graham was called a &#8220;piece of s***&#8221; and chants of &#8220;traitor&#8221; and &#8220;audit our vote&#8221; broke out among the Trump supporters.
Following the breach at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Graham declared his &#8220;journey&#8221; with President Donald Trump over.
“I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it,” Graham <a href="https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article248331565.html#storylink=cpy">said</a>. “From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president. But today, first thing you’ll see. All I can say is, count me out. Enough is enough. I’ve tried to be helpful.”
<div>
“He’s the legitimate president of the United States,” the senator added. “I cannot convince people, certain groups, by my words. But I will tell you by my actions that I, above all others in this body need to say this, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are lawfully elected and will become the president and vice president of the United States on Jan. 20.”
</div>
&#8220;Lindsey Graham just made the mistake walking by me and a mass of angry patriots at the airport in DC,&#8221; Robinson captioned the video of the airport incident. &#8220;All America wants is for you to AUDIT OUR VOTE and purge this election of this massive corruption&#8230;and you won’t do it.

On Friday Graham tweeted, &#8220;As President [Donald Trump] stated last night, it is time to heal and move on. If Speaker Pelosi pushes impeachment in the last days of the Trump presidency it will do more harm than good.I’m hopeful President-elect Biden sees the damage that would be done from such action.&#8221;
&#8220;Speaker Pelosi is hanging by a political thread, and Senator Schumer lives in fear of a primary from the radical left. It is up to President-elect Biden to step in and allow the nation to heal,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Any attempt to impeach President Trump would not only be unsuccessful in the Senate but would be a dangerous precedent for the future of the presidency. It will take both parties to heal the nation.&#8221;

‘Traitor!’: Lindsey Graham Harassed In Airport By Trump Supporters

On Thursday, the political director for ABC News based in Washington, D.C., who “oversees the political unit and helps steer the network&#8217;s coverage of major news events,” according to ABC News, tweeted about “cleansing the movement Trump commands.”
Rick Klein wrote on Twitter, “Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else.”

That tweet, apparently deleted later, quoted an <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/threats-outlast-donald-trump-exposed-siege-capitol-note/story?id=75075626">article Klein authored</a> that was published by ABC News on Thursday in which he wrote, “Even aside from impeachment and <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lawmakers-call-trumps-impeachment-wake-capitol-hill-violence/story?id=75097032">25th Amendment</a> talk, Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleaning up the movement he commands, or getting rid of what he represents to so many Americans, is going to be something else.”
The same article stated that the riots were an “attempted insurrection”: “Until Wednesday&#8217;s siege, when a mob of extremists engaged in an attempted insurrection and violent occupation of the Capitol, there seemed to be little cost to some Republicans in indulging Trump&#8217;s conspiracy theories, lies and fantasies.”
ABC News’ <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/WN/rick-klein-official-biography/story?id=51404">bio of Klein</a> states, “Klein provides regular political commentary and analysis for all ABC News broadcasts and platforms including ‘World News Tonight,’ ‘Good Morning America,’ ABCNews.com, ABC News Radio, and NewsOne, the network’s affiliate news service. He co-hosts the ‘Powerhouse Politics’ podcast along with ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl.”
In February 2013, when Klein was named for his current position, Ben Sherwood, President of Disney-ABC Television Group, stated of him, “Rick has established himself as a trusted voice by puncturing Beltway talking points and poll-tuned messages, staying far ahead of the curve on national affairs and political news.”
In September, Klein was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=737788240398580">asked about President Trump</a> saying he might cut funding to cities that were the scenes of violent protests. Klein answered by noting Trump&#8217;s “bluster,” saying, “It’s almost certainly going to be challenged in courts if he actually continues the machinations to do it. Start with the irony here, that he would be literally defunding the police and potentially harming his efforts to get schools to open. … So the president has put a lot of bluster behind some such threats in the past; they are rarely carried through.”
Last August, at the time of the Republican National Convention, Klein <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/note-polarization-point-trump-moves-convention/story?id=72660467">wrote</a>:
<blockquote>Were you better off six months ago than you were four years ago? That&#8217;s the awkward question that hovered over President Donald Trump&#8217;s Republican National Convention this week. It&#8217;s difficult to pose and dicey to want to have answered, yet unavoidable for an incumbent in this tumultuous election year. And so the message from Trump, in seeking to transform the classic referendum election into a choice, is to turn to partisanship and polarization.</blockquote>

President Trump Holds Rally In New Hampshire Day Before State’s Primary

ABC News Political Director: ‘Getting Rid Of Trump Is The Easy Part. Cleansing The Movement He Commands … Something Else.’

ABC News

Democratic State Rep. Cynthia Johnson (MI) threatened supporters of President Donald Trump during a Facebook live video streamed Tuesday, warning &#8220;Trumpers&#8221; to &#8220;walk lightly&#8221; and encouraging her supporters to &#8220;make them pay.&#8221;
&#8220;We got some work to do, we got some work to do,&#8221; Johnson started the video, before taking a sip of a drink.
The Detroit Democrat then thanked people who are doing things &#8220;right and in order.&#8221;
&#8220;There&#8217;s a good way to do it, and there&#8217;s a f***ed up way to do it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Always provide proof. Nobody cares what your mouth is saying, provide proof. Don&#8217;t get upset with folks and start cussing them out and all that. &#8230; it never works.&#8221;
“I wish I could be talking to y’all in a private room, because, uh, I just wish I could, but we’re public so,&#8221; she told her viewers. It&#8217;s unclear where Johnson was during the live stream, but other people can be heard talking in the background.
&#8220;Be smart,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to yell, you don&#8217;t have to curse anybody out, you don&#8217;t have to call anybody names. Hit their a**es in the pocketbook. Hit them in the pocketbook.&#8221;
&#8220;For instance, one of our &#8216;bright&#8217; citizens of our country, in Illinois, who happened to voicemail me &#8212; unknown, but, guess what? FBI, state police, they found her,&#8221; Johnson detailed.
&#8220;So, this is just a warning to you Trumpers,&#8221; the Democrat threatened: &#8220;Be careful, walk lightly, we ain’t playing with you. Enough of the shenanigans. Enough is enough.&#8221;
&#8220;And for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it,&#8221; she directed. &#8220;Do it right, be in order, make them pay.&#8221;
&#8220;I love y&#8217;all,&#8221; Johnson added before signing off the live stream.
Johnson took office on January 1, 2019, and her current term ends on December 31, 2020, The Daily Caller <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2020/12/09/make-them-pay-michigan-democrat-state-rep-threatens-trump-supporters-cynthia-johnson/">noted</a>.

Johnson has <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/12/07/whiteford-cynthia-johnson-racist-threats/6482069002/">claimed</a> to have received numerous threatening and racially-charged calls and voicemails since a Michigan election hearing, last week.
&#8220;Johnson, who is Black, shared some of the messages with fellow members of the Michigan Legislature,&#8221; the Detroit Free Press reported. &#8220;Johnson has received dozens of calls on her personal phone since the Dec. 2 House Oversight Committee hearing. Johnson is the minority vice chairwoman of the committee.&#8221;
Fellow Michigan State Rep. Mary Whiteford, a Republican, noted that Johnson had one of the witnesses at the hearing spell out her name for the public, a moment Whiteford said was intended to &#8220;humiliate or intimidate&#8221; the witness.
“First and foremost, racism and violence have no place in our society and those who sent these horrifying messages to Rep. Johnson should be held accountable,” Whiteford said, according to the Detroit Free Press.  “It was wrong, and she should never have to face such hate. In my response, I pointed out that the belittling treatment to the woman who was testifying was offensive and I feared it was also meant to humiliate or intimidate. Nobody should ever have to deal with that.”
House Speaker Lee Chatfield, a Republican, noted that threats had also been made against Republicans.

WATCH: Democrat Rep. Cynthia Johnson Threatens Trump Supporters: ‘Make Them Pay’

Democratic Party

Michigan

Early Saturday morning, a home of an avid Trump supporter in Michigan was reportedly  firebombed while the owner and his girlfriend were inside.
The home located in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, suffered a window being blown out and a hole blown in the living room floor, as NBC’s WDIV <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJaOdLdcI3I&amp;feature=emb_logo">reported</a>.
&#8220;The home security video is shocking,&#8221; <a href="https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/homeowner-speaks-out-after-explosive-was-thrown-through-front-window">Fox 2</a> noted. &#8220;It shows a man running up to a house in St. Clair Shores around midnight Saturday morning, and throwing an explosive through a front window.&#8221;
The homeowner, who acknowledged he had displayed lawn signs criticizing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and others supporting President Trump, said that at roughly midnight on Saturday, he and his girlfriend were headed to a bedroom on the second floor when they heard two successive booms.
“Smoke was filling the house,&#8221; he told WDIV. &#8220;I went up and told her to get out of the house. ‘Grab the dog and get out of the house.&#8217;”
He continued, “An explosion went off, and it kind of sounded like a transformer, I guess, from a powerline. And then another explosion went off, and it shook the house.”
“My neighbor came over from across the street and he said two blocks over they called him and said what the hell happened?&#8221; the homeowner said, according to Fox 2. &#8220;They thought a bomb went off.&#8221;
The damage from the explosive device left a hole in the living room floor and and blew out a window of the home.
The owner stated, “When we came outside, we noticed the whole window. It was completely blown out, smoke coming out. I didn’t know if the house was on fire or what was going on. I seen a truck racing down the road. When the police showed up, they went in, luckily it didn’t catch fire, but the actual implosion of the mortar, it did some serious damage.”
Video footage reportedly revealed a man exiting his pickup truck and hurling an explosive at the house. “Footage also shows a second man tossing an explosive near a car that was parked in a driveway,” <a href="https://www.ptnewsnetwork.com/michigan-trump-supporters-home-firebombed/">PT News</a> reported, adding that the homeowner said, “Everything was smoking, and I got on the phone and called 911, and they showed up pretty quick.”
“We were really scared,&#8221; the owner said. &#8220;When you feel your house shake and explode in smoke and you don’t know what’s going on…&#8221;
“Some people say it’s because I’m a pretty avid Trump supporter. I always have my sign up,” he theorized, adding that he is offering a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the attackers’ arrest. He concluded, “I mean, it’s worth it to me to find out who’s trying to catch my house on fire and possibly kill me.”
St. Clair Shores, which has roughly 60,000 people, borders Lake St. Clair in Macomb County. It is considered a part of the Metro Detroit area, located roughly 13 miles northeast of downtown Detroit.

Trump Supporter’s Home Firebombed In Michigan, Reports Say

On Wednesday night, a <a href="https://cadem.org/our-party/dnc-members/">member of the Democratic National Committee</a> ranted that everyone who voted for President Trump should be &#8220;deprogrammed.&#8221;
David Atkins, who <a href="https://www.davidatkinsdnc.com/">wrote</a> in his campaign for the DNC, “I currently serve as the Region 10 Director for the California Democratic Party,” tweeted on Wednesday a message reminiscent of the repressive Communist states around the world: “No seriously&#8230;how *do* you deprogram 75 million people? Where do you start? Fox? Facebook? We have to start thinking in terms of post-WWII Germany or Japan. Or the failures of Reconstruction in the South.”

He went on to claim that conservatives did not engage in policy debates with the left, terming Trump supporters a “belligerent death cult”: “This is not your standard partisan policy disagreement. This is a conspiracy theory fueled belligerent death cult against reality &amp; basic decency. The only actual policy debates of note are happening within the dem coalition between left and center left.”

You can&#8217;t run on a civil war footing hopped up on conspiracy theories hating everyone who lives in cities, mainlining Fox/Breitbart/QAnon, threatening to kidnap governors and shoot protesters, without people trying to figure out how to reverse the brainwashing.
[I] mean, for chrissakes, conservatives are literally giving themselves COVID just to own the libs. They&#8217;re dying in COVID wards insisting they don&#8217;t have COVID because it must be a liberal plot. People are gonna try to figure out how to defend themselves.</blockquote>

In his campaign for a DNC seat, Atkins called for the committee to &#8220;refuse to compromise on the issues&#8221;:

As your DNC member, I promise you that I will always vote to end corporate donations, emphasize Medicare for All, fight to expand affordable housing, and make sure that the existential threat of climate change gets the attention it deserves from party leadership.</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.davidatkinsdnc.com/about_me">Listing his credentials</a> for the DNC seat, Atkins described himself as a progressive activist with the goal of &#8220;advancing a more expansive reform agenda&#8221;:
<blockquote>Recently as a party activist I have: co-authored a successful resolution that the California Democratic Party passed in support key economic components of the Green New Deal &#8230; Authored progressive changes to the California Democratic Party platform, and at the county level presided as Platform Committee chair over redrafting the Santa Barbara County Democratic Party&#8217;s platform.

DNC Member Rants: ‘Deprogram’ 75 Million Trump Supporters

Democratic National Committee

A Trump supporter in Rocklin, California, fed-up with neighbors allegedly taunting him and his children after the results of the presidential election, has filed a restraining order.
Michael Mason told <a href="https://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2020/11/10/rocklin-trump-supporter-files-restraining-order-against-biden-supporti">CBS Sacramento</a>, “I didn’t want to do this. They’re making me have to do this.” He showed a copy of the order, which would require the neighbors to stay at least 100 feet away from his home, saying, “This is a civil harassment restraining order … I’m tired of getting harassed all the time. My kids don’t want to come outside.”
Video shows “Black Lives Matter” and “LGBTQ” chalked outside Mason’s home. Other video shows taunting like “Are you crying? USA!” <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8937937/Trump-supporter-files-restraining-order-against-Biden-supporting-neighbors-amid-harassment.html">the Daily Mail</a> reported.
Mason said, “I went down there and asked them, ‘Well, why didn’t you write this in front of your house, or anybody else’s house? Why mine?’ And they just laughed at me.”
Neighbor Sean Millard, who lives between Mason’s home and the other neighbors, commented, “It’s absolutely insane. 2020 has been kind of a crazy year.”
“The neighbors Mason filed the restraining order against declined to comment,” MSN <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/rocklin-trump-supporter-files-restraining-order-against-biden-supporting-neighbor/ar-BB1aSfIU?fbclid=IwAR1U7bOkHBIffA8aXIqLVuVWH09K6UCxsxB6vAxXflu3Kh1fHn1BYgWwBlw">reported</a>.
The California Court system <a href="https://www.courts.ca.gov/1278.htm?rdeLocaleAttr=en">writes</a>: “You qualify for a civil harassment restraining order. You qualify if: The person you want to restrain has stalked, harassed, sexually assaulted, or threatened you with violence; and the person you want to restrain is your: neighbor, roommate, friend, family member more than 2 degrees removed, like an aunt or uncle, a niece or nephew, cousins, and more distant relatives, or another person you are not closely related to.”
The California Request for Civil Harassment Restraining Orders <a href="https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/ch100.pdf">states,</a> “Harassment means violence or threats of violence against you, or a course of conduct that seriously alarmed, annoyed, or harassed you and caused you substantial emotional distress. A course of conduct is more than one act.”
A judge is expected to rule on the restraining order on Wednesday; Mason said he hopes that will keep the peace until he and his family move.
As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/katy-perry-encourages-harmony-with-trump-supporters-leftists-freak-out?%3Futm_source=facebook&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=fedup">reported</a> on Tuesday, pop icon Katy Perry was slammed by leftists after urging Biden supporters to reach out to Trump supporters. She tweeted on Sunday, &#8220;The first thing I did when the presidency was called is text and call my family members who do not agree and tell them I love them and am here for them. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FamilyFirst?src=hashtag_click" data-focusable="true">#FamilyFirst</a>. Call your family today. Happy Sunday.”
Along with the raft of criticism hurled at her by leftists, other leftist figures of note also chimed in with their desire to punish Trump supporters.
&#8220;Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1324807776510595078?s=20">tweeted</a> Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
&#8220;If you’re a Trumper I hope the pain and anxiety you feel now is excruciating. You voted against America and for a cult leader who has no redeeming or admirable qualities. He’s a cretin who cares nothing about this country and you don’t either. You deserve all the pain and more,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/Toure/status/1324542240266489857?s=20">tweeted</a> former MSNBC host Toure.

CA Trump Supporter Requests Restraining Order After Biden Supporters Allegedly Harassed His Family

On Monday, CNN’s Jake Tapper offered some unsolicited advice to staunch Trump supporters, whom he termed “the ride-or-die crew,” warning them to watch what they say and do as that might affect their chances at future employment.
Tapper tweeted, “I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy — but at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity.”

Tapper’s open contempt for die-hard Trump supporters is in league with his contempt for President Trump’s children, whom he recently repeatedly referred to as the president&#8217;s “spawn.” As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-jake-tapper-repeatedly-mocks-trumps-children-as-spawn">The Daily Wire</a> reported on Sunday:
<blockquote>On Friday, as the results of the presidential election were still being tabulated, CNN anchor Jake Tapper repeatedly mocked President Trump’s children, referring to them as “spawn.” Tapper referred to the “untethered and wild allegations being made by the president and his spawn” and encouraged people to “check out the Twitter feed of the president&#8217;s spawn, because it is like rantings in crayon by somebody having an LSD trip.”
The three-way conversation among Tapper and CNN’s chief political correspondent Dana Bash and CNN’s White House correspondent Abby Phillip commenced with Tapper pronouncing, “Dana, the three of us have been noting the response or lack thereof from Republican officials when it comes to the untethered and wild allegations being made by the president and his spawn and his supporters about the election, all of the crazy and false claims about it being stolen.”
Tapper brought up a statement from GOP Utah Senator Mitt Romney, referring to it as “mealy mouthed” because Romney started by acknowledging President Trump was within his rights to request recounts or call for an investigation of alleged voting irregularities where evidence exists.
Phillip commented, “And it&#8217;s worse when you watch Fox News where many of the president&#8217;s advisers and supporters and campaign aides are going on the television, speaking to the president&#8217;s supporters every single day, reinforcing falsehoods, frankly fake manipulated videos on social media, these are all things that are corrosive to democracy and not enough republicans are being specific about what the problem is.&#8221;
Tapper replied: &#8220;And you&#8217;re upset about what you see on Fox and you have every right to be, you should check out the Twitter feed of the president&#8217;s spawn, because it is like rantings in crayon by somebody having an LSD trip. I mean, is somebody — these are claims that are just so wild that they wouldn&#8217;t even make, forget Fox, they wouldn&#8217;t make Fox business where, you know, are all sorts of facts go to die.&#8221;</blockquote>

Jake Tapper Mocks Trump Supporters: ‘Ride Or Die Crew’ Might Not Get Hired

Jake Tapper

<div>
On Monday, &#8220;The View&#8221; hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar compared the Trump supporters who followed a Biden campaign bus in Texas to murderous Ku Klux Klan members of the past.
</div>
<div>
Goldberg started her descent into vitriol by referring to ‘Truckloads of You-Know-Who’s supporters,” then segued to the Texas supporters surrounding the bus, preaching, “I’m here to let you know that that is one of the most dangerous things you can do because buses can’t stop on a dime.”
</div>
<div>
“Thank God this person saw and slowed in order to let you do what you did which looked a lot like a scene out of “Mississippi Burning,” Goldberg continued.“You know, when trucks, or when trucks and cars surrounded people who are trying to drive. It was really freaky to see.”
</div>
<div>
After playing a clip of Trump speaking about the incident, she went on, “With what I’ve been seeing, his supporters have given me a flashback, as I said — (At this point the screen showed a picture of the three young civil rights activists who were murdered in 1964) — and when they talk about, oh, we think there’s going to be some issues happening, who do they think is going to start this? I haven’t seen any Biden flags trapping anybody; I haven’t seen any of that. Am I crazy, you guys? When you saw this caravan, did it remind you of a 50’s thing as well?&#8221;
</div>
<div>
Behar launched into her diatribe: &#8220;Yes. That was very reminiscent of what you were talking about, &#8216;Mississippi Burning.&#8217; You don’t see Biden people doing that. Biden people, the protesters, are tear-gassed, as a matter of fact. And these agitators are crazed, and then made up stories about, that they were protecting the bus.&#8221;
</div>
<div>
Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in:
</div>
<div>
<blockquote>I saw the fact that Trump has emboldened bigots and racists to come out from under their rocks. I mean, before we knew this kind of bigotry and racism and anger and hatred existed in the country of course, it was taboo to behave this way. He has emboldened them. He calls them patriots after an incident like this and when you learn more about the incident, you know, these were heavily armed people brandishing weapons in their trucks. They outnumbered police officers, 50 to 1&#8230;.</blockquote>

<a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kristine-marsh/2020/11/02/whoopi-trump-supporters-looked-kkk-murderers-surrounding-biden">Newsbusters</a> noted, “This allegation about brandishing weapons came from Democrat activist&#8217;s tweets and hasn&#8217;t been verified as fact; even the liberal Snopes <a href="https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/armed-trump-fans-biden-bus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">admitted this</a>.
</div>
<div>
Hostin ranted further:
</div>
<div>
<blockquote>I also started thinking about the Black Panthers and when they were in California at a state building, with their legal weapons, they were arrested and the laws were changed because of it. Yet, these people who are terrorizing others are called patriots by the President of the United States. And I say to people, do you want four more years of this? We&#8217;re on the eve of an election, do you want more four more years of bigotry, racism and hatred? Approved by the administration, by the President of the United States. Because that is what has been happening over the past four years and this is direct &#8212; this is in direct relation to the country having elected a black president. That&#8217;s what this is about. Pure and simple. It&#8217;s about racism, hatred and bigotry.</blockquote>

As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-train-incident-with-biden-bus-police-say-biden-harris-vehicle-likely-at-fault">reported</a>:
<blockquote>After researching the crash via online videos, the San Marcos Police Department (SMPD) said “the ‘at-fault vehicle’ may be the Biden-Harris staffer’s car, while the ‘victim’ appears to be one of the Trump vehicles,” <a href="https://www.wfla.com/news/fbi-investigating-incident-where-trump-train-surrounded-biden-bus/">reported</a> KXAN News.</blockquote>
