so the shooter was most likely radicalized by all the left wing rhetoric claiming Trump is hitler, Trump is a fascist, Trump is going to gas the trans people, etc etc. we saw politicians like Nancy pelosi calling for uprisings, staffers insisting that people "take one for the team" and shoot the president.
Now that someone has taken action on this violent rhetoric, could Trump sue for damages against Nancy Pelosi and her ilk? would he have a case?
EDIT: by just world, I mean in America where the justices actually enforce the law.
Court precedents have set the bar for incitement very high. There has to be evidence of a forseeable possibility that someone might actually act on your words. Even just saying "I wish someone would shoot that guy" is probably protected speech if there's no way you can forsee that somebody will actually act on your statement.
what about slander/defamation? multiple outlets in Democratic politicians have insinuated Trump is something he is not: Genocidal, a KKK member, murderous, etc. it stands to reason that people who listen to this garbage would fear for their lives, and be willing to take rash action to "defend" themselves. is there any chance that the people spouting this rhetoric could be held responsible?
