Are you perhaps forgetting about 1/6/21?

Pelosi's attacker was indeed an illegal immigrant (a Canadian who overstayed
his visa) and a conservative, but whether or not he was mentally ill is
debatable. Is someone who subscribes to unsubstantiated conspiracy theories
despite the evidence presented to them mentally ill? Is someone who refuses
to acknowledge reality mentally ill?

Whether or not he is mentally ill, politicians and other people making
publicly-accessible statements need to acknowledge that there are mentally
ill people out there who could take their rhetoric literally. There's
absolutely no need for that kind of rhetoric in our society, except to get
people riled up and primed for violence.

Jeff.
