“The Next Revolution” host Steve Hilton said Sunday that America has become too partisan and too inclined to get violent, adding that the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and recent comments by President Trump, prove civility is still around — but may be dying.<\/p>\n

Hilton noted how the moment Trump signaled he would summarily nominate a jurist to replace the Bill Clinton-appointed Ginsburg, the left erupted in threats of violence and radical behavior.<\/p>\n

He pointed to former CNN personality Reza Aslan, who tweeted that if Republicans seek to fill the vacancy, “we burn the entire f—ing thing down,” while GQ columnist Laura Bassett<\/a>\u00a0promised “there will be riots” if Trump names a successor — later clarifying: “more, bigger riots.”<\/p>\n

Aslan later retweeted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s, R-Ky., statement confirming he will seek a vote on a nominee, writing, “over our dead bodies, literally.”<\/p>\n

In contrast, Hilton said that when Trump heard about Ginsburg’s death during a press availability before a Minnesota rally, he was stunned and compassionate.<\/p>\n

“She led an amazing life,” Trump said, appearing slightly emotional. “What else can you say?\u00a0She was an amazing woman.\u00a0She was an amazing woman who\u00a0led an amazing life.”<\/p>\n

Ginsburg herself was known to be very good friends with the late Justice Antonin Scalia — a polar opposite in terms of ideology. The Trenton, N.J.-born jurist was an\u00a0“originalist” — while Ginsburg was a noted progressive.<\/p>\n

When once asked about their friendship, Ginsburg answered that Scalia always told her “I attack ideas, I don’t attack people.”<\/p>\n

Hilton said the two instances should be a model, not an aberration.<\/p>\n

“What has happened to us?\u00a0Even before the new pressures\u00a0of the Supreme Court, there\u00a0was an assumption, not a fear,\u00a0but an assumption that there\u00a0will be violent conflict after\u00a0the election,” he said. “Some are\u00a0speculating about a\u00a0second civil war.”<\/p>\n

He said that in one example, Sen. Richard Blumenthal issued what he called a “wild threat,” when the\u00a0Connecticut Democrat tweeted that “nothing is off the table” if Republicans “recklessly and reprehensibly force a SCOTUS vote.”<\/p>\n

Hilton asked Blumenthal to remember what Ginsburg and Scalia said — attack ideas, not people.<\/p>\n

“Now it’s out of control.\u00a0People won’t talk to those\u00a0they disagree with.\u00a0They’re abusive.\u00a0They call them fascists.\u00a0They’re frightened to say what\u00a0they think,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I know multiple people who\u00a0agree with Trump on the\u00a0issues.\u00a0They know he’d be better for\u00a0the country, but they want\u00a0Biden to win because they are\u00a0frightened of the violence if\u00a0he doesn’t.\u00a0The left say Trump is a threat\u00a0to democracy, but isn’t that\u00a0the death of democracy right\u00a0there when the fear of\u00a0political violence stops\u00a0people voting?”<\/p>\n

“What kind of example are we\u00a0setting for our children?\u00a0Dial it down.\u00a0Calm it down.\u00a0Back it up.\u00a0All of us, I say it to my\u00a0friends and colleagues that\u00a0this network to, everyone with\u00a0the public platform has a\u00a0responsibility right now to\u00a0lower the temperature, not\u00a0raise it…”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
