Trump’s rhetoric has stoked violence for decades. Here are 7 examples

For nearly 10 years, Donald Trump has built and maintained his cult-like following using dog whistles and incendiary language. He’s called for the death of five Black teenagers in the 1980s as a private citizen, used unusually provocative language at his MAGA rallies, and spread repeated lies about immigrants. While there is no place for political violence in this country, Trump cannot cry wolf, or blame the Democrats for the mess he has made.

Here are seven times the Republican nominee’s rhetoric has supported or led to political violence and unrest.
