Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
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.

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.

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!

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.
