Illinois State Senator Apologizes for Supporters Acting Out a Trump Assassination Sketch at Fundraiser

We keep hearing about the danger of violent rhetoric from fringe nobodies on the right.

But here we have the well-heeled, politically-connected respectable members of the Democrat Party staging a mock assassination at a politician's fundraiser -- not the fringe, but the very core of the Democrat Party -- and yet... no discussion about the left's rhetoric and the left's deliberate -- not inadvertent, deliberate -- cultivation of an assassination cadre.

And by the way: The Democrat Brian Sandoval posed for a picture with the guy who played the assassin role.

Photos posted by a woman who witnessed the mock assassination on Friday night show supporters of Sen. Martin Sandoval, who represents Illinois' 11th District -- which includes parts of Chicago --acting out in front of guests, according to WCIA.

One of them can be seen pointing a fake machine gun at a man wearing a Trump mask and Mexican costume. The individual appears to simulate being shot -- grabbing his chest and leaning back.

In another photo, Sandoval can be seen standing next to the person holding the gun.

"Why is this ok?" a FB user asked. "I am sickened."

Three seconds until Rich Lowry calls for someone else on the right to be deplatformed, just to change the topic from having to comment on his friends on the left.

Gotta conservate that gig at Politico!
