Loretta Lynch did not call for 'violence and murder,' 'blood and death in streets'

The shootings of congressional Republican baseball players by a drifter fan of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., triggered outrage among conservative media. Infowars, the conspiracy website of Alex Jones, accused top Democrats of instigating this sort of violence.

The June 14 headline basically said it all: "FLASHBACK: Tim Kaine, Loretta Lynch Called For Blood and Death In Streets."

The article said Kaine, the 2016 Democratic vice presidential candidate, and Lynch, Barack Obama's former attorney general, were part of "a stunning collection of calls to violence and murder from the intolerant, unhinged leftists in the Democrat party...

Infowars host Alex Jones threatens Adam Schiff: “I’ll beat your goddamn ass” -- Salon

Rep. Adam Schiff of California is the ranking Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee and a strong critic of President Donald Trump’s alleged connections to Russia.

After prefacing his rant by insisting he’s “not against gay people,” Jones denounced Schiff, saying that he “looks like the archetypal cocksucker with those little deer-in-the-headlight eyes and all his stuff. And there’s something about this fairy, hopping around, bossing everybody around, trying to intimidate people like me and you.”...
