MSNBC’s Rhodes on Violence: Gov’t Makes People ‘Feel Unsafe’, ‘Worry’ What Trump Will Do with Guard After Kirk Murder

During a discussion of political violence on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” MSNBC Political Contributor Ben Rhodes stated that “We obviously have a government that makes a lot of people in this country feel unsafe.” He also stated that “we already have the United States military deployed in the streets of an American city, and getting ready to move into another one. And so, you worry about, frankly, kind of a government overreach here in terms of what kind of authorities Donald Trump may claim,” and “we just have to be honest that that’s part of the dynamic here that is so worrying.”

While discussing political violence, UC-San Diego Political Science Professor Barbara F. Walter gave the conditions for political violence, host Chris Hayes then said, [relevant exchange begins around 36:40] “Ben, the first point that Barbara made there about sort of declining democracy, declining faith in institutions as a part of this breakdown, this sort of spiraling feeling that I think a lot of people are having, aside from a feeling of deep sadness, but also a kind of darkness tugging on us, I imagine that’s been in your thoughts today, given what you’ve been writing about recently.”
