Blagojevich: Dems' Rhetoric brings Violence Against Trump

Sunday, April 26, 2026

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich told Newsmax on Sunday that political rhetoric from Democrats is contributing to threats against President Donald Trump, pointing to the security scare at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner as part of a broader pattern. Appearing on "Sunday Agenda," the former Democrat governor reacted to the incident Saturday night at the Washington Hilton, where a suspected gunman was detained before reaching the ballroom where Trump and other officials were gathered. Blagojevich, who served three terms in Congress and two as governor, said the situation reflects what he described as escalating political hostility.

----------- has spoken and the Democrats will be here shortly to condemn their own.

The "political rhetoric" against Trump is overwhelmingly true:

Rapist, thief, traitor, liar, abettor of child sex slavery.

I'm not going to lie about him to make him safer. The fact is, he's made himself the most hated man in the world.

The most interesting thing about being here remains people like you.

This mania you have to pull moral superiority out of a person and movement blown with maggots is something to behold.

Keep it up. You're someone's doctoral dissertation.

Blagovich is a criminal pardoned by Trump, another criminal.

If Donald manages to build that stupid arch, I'm going to pee on it.

I would never ever ever condone violence, but the world would be a far better place if Georg Elser set his clock 15 minutes earlier.

Trump kills children hundreds of children in Iran, and hundreds of thousands of children in Africa... but other people are responsible for causing him to be vilified and hated; that's your brain on the Cult of Trump.

Donald Trump uses the same playbook as Israel. Say evil ----, do evil ----, get a violent response, play the victim, say and do even more evil ----.

Wash-rinse-repeat.

Trump rhetoric about the Left:
The Radical Left
Enemy from Within
Vermin
Scum
Animals
Angry, Left-Wing Mob
Absolute Lunatics
Left-wing lunacy
Far-left fascists

"But it's the Left who uses violent rhetoric, not Trump!"

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, as in "Blago," as in saying "I've got this thing, and it's ------- golden. I'm just not giving it up for ------- nothing." Impeached, convicted, barred from office, slapped into a federal slammer, pardoned by fellow scammer and convicted felon MAGAJesus, now has his nose up Trump's gargantuan buttocks, along with a slack-jawed army of other assorted freaks, geeks, perpetual losers and felons. Happy 250th!

@ScottJenningsKY

The reporting is now clear: a left wing lunatic came to kill the president & his team. We have a violence & rhetoric problem on the Left that must be acknowledged.

Kyle Kulinski
@KyleKulinski

Trump has called the left:
- Enemy within
- Scum
- Terrorists
- Vermin
- Radical
- Lunatics
- Demonic
- Evil
- Fascists
- Marxists
- Communists
- Garbage
- The enemy of the people
- The enemy within
- Treasonous
- Animals
- Degenerates
- Jew haters
- Lowlives

Shut the --- up you smug closet case.

From CNN. Would-be Trump assassin Cole Allen:
1) Compared Trump to Hitler.
2) Urged Trump haters to buy guns.
3) Wanted to nullify 2024 election result.
4) Suggested the Butler assassination attempt was faked.

Sounds like any Lumper here on the DR.

#29 | POSTED BY CLOWNSHACK
Yeah but has anyone been/attempted an assassinated?

Just because you have a lot of words, doesn't mean anything.
Calling someone "garbage" is hardly going to make people go out and kill a person on a college campus.

What word in that list is so extreme to you, that it would make someone go out and kill someone?

This really isn't that bad of a list, its actually quite comical. Would you say calling someone "NAZI" or "Hitler" is worse or better?

It's the same rhetoric or worse in some cases.

He also called for violence against protestors and reporters.

He called for the hanging of people, including members of congress, who said soldiers shouldn't obey illegal orders.

The list goes on.

But mention the FACTS about Trump and it's violent rhetoric?

Neither is "Hitler."

Let me be crystal clear:

DEMOCRATS SHOULD RAMP UP THE RHETORIC UNTIL IT MATCHES DONALD TRUMP'S RHETORIC.

Democrats should START talking about watering the Tree of Liberty just like Republicans did.

And ---- the consequences. ---- the playing by one set of rules while Republicans play without any.

#39 | Posted by Sycophant at 2026-04-28 04:25 PM

The consequences most people are fearful of is a more unbridled ICE agency.
