Ohio Rep.Michael Rulli appeared on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox Business News show to say he is appalled at Democrats’ rhetoric, which needs to be “toned down.” The Ohio Republican must never have seen Trump’s tweets or Truth Social posts before. He should check in on that! Or when Donald said in Iowa in July that he “hates” Democrats, saying, “I cannot stand them.” Or how about Jan. 6th, when Trump incited a mob of his supporters to attack the US Capitol to cling to power.
Rulli discussed the Charlie Kirk shooting, the only school shooting Republicans have cared about. The Turning Point co-founder seems even more powerful to Republicans after his death, as they use it to silence the opposition. His widow started fundraising days after his death, despite Charlie’s $12 million net worth.
“I’m going to put focus on the opposition, the Democratic Party,” Rulli said. “You can’t use this rhetoric about us all day long, where you call us Nazis, you call us monsters, you call us all these different words that are just horrific and they drive people to insanity.”
Fact check: Yes, we can. Just ask J.D. Vance, who called Trump “America’s Hitler.”
“There is not one person in the Republican Party that is in Congress right now that hasn’t had a death threat,” he continued. “I’ve had a dozen this year. Your rhetoric needs to be toned down. You need to lower the temperature.”
