Clinton Tweet.
Just last week, there seemed to be consensus among political leaders that it was time to cool down the heated rhetoric traded between partisans in the nation's capital, an idea pitched as a plan to show the value of building relationships across the aisle in the wake of a mass shooting that targeted Republican congressmen at a baseball practice.Forget death panels. If Republicans pass this bill, they're the death party.
Whether or not that heated rhetoric can be blamed for shooting is debatable — I believe firmly it cannot — but there is nothing wrong with taking the incident as a reminder for politicians to speak responsibly, knowing that constituents outside the circles of influence in Washington are listening.
Flash forward one week, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is saying Republicans plan to pay for their newly-released healthcare bill with "blood money."
This was no slip of the tongue, but a calculated communications strategy. The phrase showed up twice in her speech on the Senate floor and then made its way into posts on Warren's Facebook and Twitter accounts.
She made a conscious decision to accuse her colleagues of intentionally taking "blood money" from sick Americans and giving it to their "rich buddies."
Here's one portion of her Senate speech:
So Senate Republicans had to make a choice. How to pay for all these juicy tax cuts for their rich buddies? I'll tell you how: blood money. Senate Republicans wrung some extra dollars out of kicking people off tax credits that help them afford health insurance.
Warren also claimed the bill was the product of Senate RepublicansAnyone who called for Congress to approach their jobs and communicate in a more cooperative and respectful spirit last week should also call on Warren to cool it."sitting around a conference room table, dreaming up even meaner ways to kick dirt in the face of the American people and take away their health insurance."
And the same goes for anyone who believes it's dangerous for President Trump to speak in rhetoric meant to be taken seriously, but not literally.
If you were moved by the images from the Congressional Baseball Game, where Republicans and Democrats came together to honor Rep. Steve Scalise as he sat in critical condition in a nearby hospital, don't forget that Warren just told the people that Scalise's colleagues in the Senate, some of whom played in that game, are willfully sucking "blood money" from the vulnerable, just to help the rich get richer.

The Dems are disgusting pigs. When you have to demonize the opposition to make a point
your point becomes hyperbole attack done to destroy the opposition..
It's un-American, destructive and deadly

Unfortunately it's a trend that is catching on. The atmosphere, the attitude, speech, actions...it's all about promoting blood, death, violence, hate disrespect and despair. Animal instincts have taken over any remaining remnants of civility, reason and meaningful conversation or debate. Our society is on fire and the Dems are throwing gasoline on it.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
Dems support the killing of 60 million innocent Americans and Hillary calls the opposition the death party.
No wonder she can't win a national election to save her life.

Not even Obama who steers clear of denouncing violence. He's always been that way though. This rage-filled populace was what he was aiming for during his 8 years. Stir up strife, racism, anarchy and pitting "groups" against each other. He's always apologized for America everywhere he went. We're seeing the fruits now of the poisonous seeds that he, Clinton and Soros sewed.
