Speaker 1: This is Carol Platt Lebou for town hall dot com.
Speaker 1: Our First Amendment is a cherished guarantee. Every American has
Speaker 1: the right to criticize elected officials, even in harsh terms,
Speaker 1: so long as there's no incitement to imminent violence. But
Speaker 1: having a right to say something doesn't necessarily make it
Speaker 1: right to say, and too many in our cultural elite
Speaker 1: have normalized reckless rhetoric about President Trump, among others. ABC
Speaker 1: host Jimmy Kimmel recently joked about the First Lady becoming
Speaker 1: an expectant widow. Congressman Dan Goldman called for Trump to
Speaker 1: be eliminated from public life. Former President Biden urged putting
Speaker 1: Trump in the bull's eye. None of that is illegal,
Speaker 1: nor are they responsible for a criminal's actions. But after
Speaker 1: three attempts on President Trump's life, left wing elites should
Speaker 1: ask themselves whether flirting with assassination rhetoric is morally defensible,
Speaker 1: even if they have every right to engage in it.
