Washington Examiner Senior Columnist Salena Zito said the growing number of “dehumanizing” statements from politicians is “very dangerous,” warning that “unstable” people could take this rhetoric “to the next level.”

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner apologized Friday for social media comments he made in 2018 that included encouraging anyone expecting “to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle” to read history. Zito, who witnessed President Donald Trump almost get assassinated in July 2024, said “the bulk” of these inflammatory statements comes from “the left wing,” such as the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro’s (D-PA) residence in April.
