Charlie Sykes: “For Trump, this is hardly a new theme. His enthusiasm for violence — including torture, extra-judicial murder and shooting both migrants and protesters — has been a consistent feature of his politics for years.”
“Trump has long cultivated cruelty as a political weapon. But he has not confined his cruelty to mere rhetoric.”
“Indeed, the ‘pro-life’ former president makes no secret of his passion for actual violence — including the maiming, wounding, flesh-tearing, shooting and killing of human beings.”
“And this appetite for brutality will soon become a litmus test for right-wing politicians, including any of his GOP challengers.”
