The average yahoo is free to spew his hate speech among the like-minded, but is it too much to ask that our elected leaders at least temper theirs? Marjorie Taylor-Greene stating--with no evidence at all--that Democrats have started killing Republicans? Trump and others incessantly banging on about evil immigrants and asylum-seekers? The ceaseless anti-trans narrative that suggests they somehow harm children? A lot of public figures are on the record saying Democrats should be killed--(Ted Nugent, MTG, Trump retweet). Perfectly OK?
