Don’t you love the way Trump can post violent AI videos of people attacking Joe Biden or Democrats and Republicans are fine with it. But if a Democrat has a private text message in which he says something similar, all hell breaks loose.

Democrats, don’t fall for it.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.
