Social media has been flooded with conservative comments targeting "liberals," "the left" and "Democrats" claiming that they are the source of radical political violence in the U.S. Those calling out fact-checks went ignored as everyone from U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to President Donald Trump alleged those on "the left" were responsible.
It infuriated Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who is retiring at the end of his term. Speaking to National Journal congressional policy reporter Nancy Vu, Tillis shamed those taking cheap shots and calling for a new war.
“What I was really disgusted by yesterday is a couple of talking heads that sees this as an opportunity to say we're at war so that they could get some of our conservative followers lathered up over this. It seems like a cheap, disgusting, awful way to pretend like you're a leader of a conservative movement. And there were two in particular that I found particularly disgusting," said Tillis.
