Michael Moore calls President Trump the inspiration for stabbing attack by Bernie Sanders supporter
President Trump was wrapping up his first overseas trip last weekend when news hit that two men in Portland had been fatally stabbed by a white supremacist who was going on an anti-Muslim rant on a commuter train. A U.S. Senator for Oregon went on record Wednesdaysaying that Trump bore responsibility for the “wave of violence” marked by the stabbings, which puts him in the dubious company of Michael Moore. Moore, of course, hasn’tlet a single opportunity slip by to tap into and amplify the anger and frustration of “the resistance,” encouraging the losers of the 2016 election, for example, to attend the Inauguration Day “Festival of Resistance” and disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
But no, he’s not responsible for setting the tone that has led to months of protests and riots and clashes between police and antifascists. It’s Trump who set the tone for that stabbing in Portland.
The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance. Our prayers are w/ them.

YOU are the inspiration for these attacks. All u need to do is apologize to the families of the dead for setting the tone that led to this. https://t.co/nThZZW1uwV

He needs to EXPLICITLY tell his supporters NOT to be violent. They probably think the word "unacceptable" is code for wink/nudge.

It shouldn’t have to be said again, but both BuzzFeed and The OregonianscouredJeremy Christian’s Facebook page for some clue to his political affiliations, and though they remain “nebulous,” Christian postedthat Bernie Sanders was “the President I wanted” because “he voiced my heart and mind.”
