Responsibility lies at the feet of CPC leadership who have tolerated and even welcomed the constant accusations of treason and the violent language from outlets like Rebel Media. They won’t step up and stop it. They’re either too scared or too complicit to do the right thing.
The recent assasination attempt against the PM, the constant death threats against progressive and female politicians, didn’t “just happen”. The attackers are spoon fed a diet of contestant outrage and wild accusations. Often coming right from the floor of the House of Commons.
When someone is inevitably killed, the blood is on them.
