When presidential candidate Donald Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, he jumped up and shouted “Fight, fight, fight!” and was immediately accused of trying to incite violence.

And yet U.S. Rep Jim McGovern holds a rally in Northampton and says “it’s time to fight,” and “its time to punch back” and the audience is quoted as saying, “When are Democrats gonna stop bringing knives to a gunfight?”

And yet this language isn’t trying to incite violence? The double standards just never end, do they?
