Matthew Dowd to Trump: look in the mirror

From today's "This Week" about the synagogue shooting:

And three, I think the president needs to at some point look in the mirror and understand that the rhetoric, the words he uses in all of this, inflame a big part of what's going on in America, give permission to the most craziest people in America, not that the president is responsible, but his rhetoric adds to that, and he needs to reflect on that, because the day -- now that we're having these shootings not only in public places and in concerts and in places where parties are, we're having them in synagogues and mosques and Christian churches.

He never will. What I do have hope for is us knowing his words incite violence and getting rid of him.

"not that the president is responsible". trump is responsible for so many believing they can follow their hate because of his rhetoric and obvious racism etc.

Trump's mirror lies to him every day of his life. There is no insight. There is no capacity for change.

Besides, Trump wants violence.

So it is up to us.

I didn't want Biden to join the race, initially, but his opening gambit was pure genius and I am now so grateful that he has put himself out there. Someone needs to say what he is saying, and as a presidential candidate with name recognition, he's the man to do it. I hope that others will follow his lead.
