First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

So, it's only politicians who you believe should not be subjected to threats and violence. Comments that offend you when aimed at Trump are OK when aimed at others. Good to know.

I disavow violent threats
 
Genuinely curious...who has been “come for”? Have I missed a mass roundup of unionists, Jews, Japanese, Muslims, illegal immigrants? Have people been dying in the street because they can’t get healthcare? Are Black Lives Mattering yet? Did the NFL shut down due to kneeling?
Who are the brown shirts here? Who’s the SS or Gestapo?
Or, is part of the problem that we are NOT rounding up people who are, I don’t know, threatening people with violence or blocking traffic, or ...?

Truth be told, 2 of those groups have never helped anyone but themselves anyway.
