David Urban: Roughly 40% of Dems Support the Use of Force to Oust Trump, 55% of Leftists Support Trump Assassination

COOPER: “David, I mean, is there a vast — I don‘t have Stephen‘s exact — Stephen Miller‘s exact phrasing, but, you know, a vast domestic terror network by the left, and that‘s the biggest threat in the United States today?”
URBAN: “Yeah. You know, Anderson, I don‘t believe that to be the case. However, I‘ll just cite two studies that do kind of point to some big problems. Dr. Robert Pape, the University of Chicago, was on recently, he published an op-ed in The New York Times in June of this past year saying that, you know, it was kind of prescient, saying there‘s going to be some big looming problem of violence in America because of hatred. And the statistics he cited — I just want to read this because I don‘t want to get it wrong — his survey, and he‘s been doing this since 2021, recorded — said roughly 40%, 39.7% of Democrats supported the use of force to remove Donald Trump from the presidency. And when he looked at the crosstabs, he said 55% of that 40% supported assassination of Donald Trump. Similarly, Rutgers University Social Perception Lab study found that 55% of self-described leftists — this is out of April of this year — said 55% would support assassination of Donald Trump as a legitimate means to remove him. So there is something going on, right? This isn‘t totally baked up and made up. If you look at outside on the front street — in front of, you know, whether it‘s Justice Brett Kavanaugh‘s house, you know, they caught a guy outside there with a rifle. Outside of Stephen Miller‘s house, people were writing things and terrifying his kids. You heard the vice president saying how his kids got shouted down at Hershey Park. So there is something specifically targeting kind of people on the right. If you remember, Alyssa, your colleague and my friend, Sarah Huckabee Sanders went to a restaurant where she was shouted out, wasn‘t allowed to dine, and was forced out. And you had Maxine Waters saying, ‘Don‘t give these Trumpers any quarter.’”
