Any doubt which side are the violent ones? Now they are threatening to harm one of their own.

The chairman of CPAC, the Republican Party's biggest annual conference, warned on Sunday that Sen. Mitt Romney should "be afraid for his physical safety" after Romney broke ranks with GOP senators to convict President Donald Trump two weeks ago.

Matt Schlapp's warnings come as President Donald Trump and his allies peddled new conspiracy theories baselessly linking Romney to Burisma.

But yeah. Saying they were have their heads on metaphorical pikes if they voted against him was just a horrible thing for the media to report...

Too true
God damn snowflakes, all of them.
Romney is the only one with balls. I’ll give Collins and some other random I heard saying it was wrong behavior but doesn’t warrant removal from office.
While I don’t agree, I do understand that statement. Question is what if he does it again, what consequence should Collins have. Easy to make predictions, much harder to make predictions when you have skin in the game.

Things Romney should watch out for:

- Workmen setting up a pike outside RNC headquarters
- Any event where one of the guests flies in from Saudi Arabia and brings his own bone saw
- Seeing Trump approach him while they are both walking down Fifth Avenue

Thread title is inaccurate, along with most of the replies. This is the "threatening" quote.

"This year, I would actually be afraid for his physical safety, people are so mad at him," Matt Schlapp told "Full Court Press with Greta Susteren" on Sunday.

Thread title is accurate. If you fear for someone's safety that means you believe someone will try to physically harm them. Also why is threatening in quotes? If someone says to you 'if you come to my event I fear for your safety' that's a pretty clear threat. Imagine what conservatives would do if in response to a conservative speaker wanting to have an event they said 'we'd love to but if you come here I fear for your safety'. Conservatives would be apoplectic.

Also, what does it say about how incompetent CPAC is or how absolutely out of control the violence in conservative political circles has become that at a major event they can no longer guarantee the safety of sitting United States Senators? This shit is really spiraling out of control and law enforcement needs to step in.

"This year, I would actually be afraid for his physical safety" "will try to physically harm Mitt Romney"

"people are so mad at him" "people" = "trumptards" "mad at him" = "for turning on Trump"

Thread title is very accurate.

Not surprised reading comprehension is a trait of a Know-Nothing.

What's inaccurate about the title?
If someone says "you should be afraid for your physical safety", isn't that a threat?

I initially read it as CPAC threatening him (lol) but CPAC is actually warning him about attendees apparently.

it's not a direct threat, no. Indirect? Very much so.

It's a dog whistle. A (not-so) subtle message. Almost as blatant as saying "I won't talk about how trump has golfed more than Obama" to state that very fact.

As people have informed you, thread title is accurate despite not being an exact quote.
 
After Trump takes his final bow and hops and skips off the stage for being the worst president in modern times, for being the most incompetent, most corrupted, most careless, most selfish thing to have led the nation down the path to a Russian/Putin style of gov't, Romney will still be up on the Hill being Romney while Trump and his entourage of sycophants will have their horrific, criminally infected legacies burned into the pages of history.

As payback, maybe Romney should run third party just to get Trump a whole lot more pissed off at the world than usual.

OK.

Why does the head of this conservative conference admit that conservatives, in general, are likely to physically harm a US senator because of whatever disagreement they have with him?
He wouldn't be afraid for "[Mitt's] physical safety" without a reason, would he?

What do you think he is saying about conservatives, based on himself being one, and his lifelong experiences with such conservatives?

Or do you think it is more likely that liberals will attend CPAC in far greater numbers than conservatives, and he is actually accusing liberals of this likely violence? If not liberals or conservatives, then what attendees do you think he is suggesting are likely to attack Mitt Romney? (kind of a comedy question--but feel free to address that one to, if you wish.)
