He feels free to attack others and can't take it when he is called on it.

At a minimum so far this year, Trump has:
1. Met with Kim again with no result
2. Shut down the Government with no result
3. Declared an emergency that he claimed he didn't need to do
4. Threatened military action in Venezuela, the Russians came
5. Tried to kill the ACA with no replacement
6. Threatened to close the Southern Border entirely, and changed his mind

Reelect him, you'll get what you deserve

So then, you do seem to back up what I said. You do support the CNN reporter for suggesting that Shouting "lock her up" at Trump rallies should have been shut down by the FBI because it was hate speech that could lead to violence. But you don't consider the hateful speech against Trump, including, at a minimum as you would put it, saying he is a NAZI or supports NAZIs, that he is a racist, anti-Semite, hates women, is a traitor, anti-American in a bromance with Putin, conspiring with Russia against the US, supporter of the KKK, ettcettterraaa . . . you don't consider that any of that is hate speech that could lead to violence . . . such as assaulting people with MAGA hats, punching them in the face (it's OK to punch a NAZI) and so forth . . . ergo no reason that the CNN reporter should have suggested that the FBI shut down such speech.

You do agree that saying "lock her up" is far worse and more hateful than what is said about Trump. And, after all, any hate speech against Trump is, as you say, "on him."

There have been assaults against Trump supporters because of the above mentioned anti-Trump hate speech. Have there been any assaults against Hillary supporters because of the "lock her up" chants?
