Is there a link between political violence and leaders’ rhetoric?

There have been three incidents of political violence in the last two weeks — an attack on a synagogue in Michigan, a shooting at Old Dominion University and an attempted attack on anti-Muslim protesters outside the New York City mayor's residence. We discuss whether there are any common threads among these attacks and what role leaders can play in lowering the rhetorical temperature. This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef, and congressional correspondent Barbara Sprunt. This podcast was produced by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
