Democrat Admits Party Hasn't Stopped Extreme Rhetoric Against Trump

During a weekend interview, Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) revealed that the Democratic Party has not instructed its members to tone down their extremist rhetoric against former President Donald Trump or the Republican Party, even after Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday.

Crow’s comments came during a Sunday appearance on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” where host Margaret Brennan questioned the harsh terms used by Democrats to describe Trump. “Democrats have referred to Donald Trump as a sociopath, as a narcissist,” Brennan stated, noting the Democrats' routine comparisons of Trump to Adolf Hitler and accusations of him threatening American democracy.

Brennan asked Crow, “Do you think at this moment, all of that should stop?”

Crow responded, “I think right now, on the heels of what appears to be an attempted assassination attempt by all the evidence that we’re seeing right now, we all need to take a step back, we all need to take a breather.”

When Brennan pressed if the Democratic leadership had communicated this message to its members, Crow admitted, “They have not.”

Crow went on to emphasize the need for de-escalation, saying, “We are on that precipice. So leadership requires that we all step back. And we say enough is enough. We can’t do this.”

Key Points:

• Despite an assassination attempt on Trump, Democrats have not curtailed their extreme rhetoric.

• Crow's call for de-escalation stands in contrast to the party’s ongoing inflammatory language.

• The absence of direction from Democratic leadership underscores a lack of responsibility and unity.

Crow’s appeal for unity and constructive dialogue is a sharp contradiction to the Democrats' aggressive stance. He urged Americans to engage respectfully with those holding different views, saying, “This is my call to action... pick up the phone, walk out your door, go talk to your neighbor, go talk to your colleague, call your friends, who don’t agree with you and tell them, we can disagree. You’re not my enemy. You’re not evil.”

In these trying times, Crow’s message of reconciliation is vital, but it remains overshadowed by the Democratic Party’s failure to temper its members' extreme rhetoric.
