Letter: Did Victor Davis Hanson forget Trump threatening protesters?

Hanson argues that threats from Democrats, such as Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), are dangerous.

Flawed argument that Dem
hopefuls threaten violence

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read Victor Davis Hanson’s commentary on the threats of physical violence against Trump. He was arguing that those threats coming from the Democratic candidates for president were dangerous.

Has Hanson forgotten repeated threats of physical violence against protesters at his rallies? His threats of violence against his political opponents, including the press?

I do not condone threats of violence either from our president or the Democrat candidates for president. Threats of violence against anyone cannot be condoned. They are especially dangerous, when coming from our president. That rhetoric inspires more violence. It appears Trump thinks that inciting violence the norm.

Victor Davis Hanson either has short-term memory problems, he hears what he wants to hear or he lives in an alternate world. Whatever the cause of his selective memory, his recollections are seriously erroneous.
