Eric Trump is ‘sick and tired of seeing bullets flying,’ but …

Eric Trump, executive vice-president of the Trump organization and son of President Donald Trump, minimized right-wing political violence during Tuesday in CNBC’s “Squawk Box”.

In the midst of a discussion on the right -wing podcaster killed Charlie Kirk, Eric Trump was invited to know where the country should go from here, and he said“I am sick and tired of seeing bullets flying on people’s heads.”

“On both sides,” added co-host Joe Kernen.

“Well, I don’t know,” replied Eric Trump. “I mean, of course, both sides, but I don’t do it – I don’t really see the balls flying in one direction.”

In reality, Right violence is much more widespread than violence on the left. A recent study revealed that between 1990 and 2020, 15.6% of homicide incidents with political motivation were led by extremists from the far left, while extreme extremists were responsible for 84.4% of these incidents.

Eric Trump’s decision to ignore the violence on the right against liberal politicians is grotesly insensitive, especially the same day when Minnesota is ready to hold a special election To fill the seat of the former Democratic President of the State House, Melissa Hortman, that an anti-abortion extremist murdered in June.

But Eric Trump’s voluntary dismissal of the right political violence is not surprising. Under President Donald Trump, the Republican party moved to Fix the rights of the first amendment dissidents in a wider campaign To silence any opposition to his unpopular National and foreign policies.

Eric Trump’s dismissal is a reminder that Protect power, Not people are the highest priority for the GOP.
