Eric Trump conceded to Fox News host Jeanine Pirro on Saturday that harsh political rhetoric "might" be linked to recent violence, including the shooting death of 11 people in an apparently anti-Semitic attack at a Pittsburgh synagogue earlier – or it "might not. "
"Listen," he noted, "America mourns, right?"
Pirro quizzed President Donald Trump's second son on the synagogue shooting and the pipe bombs mailed earlier in the week to Democratic political figures and other targets of his father. The man arrested for the pipe bombs, Cesar Sayoc, was living in a vanilla with photos of the president and images of his targets with gunsight crosshairs over their faces.
"We are looking at the news of the past week" and the violence … "is this a sign of the rhetoric and the outrage people are hearing? Is there any correlation between the two? "Pirro asked.

"Listen, there might be, and there might not be," said Eric Trump. "At the end of the day, this is a very sick, sick, deranged human … subhuman," he added, referring to suspected synagogue shooter Robert Bowers. Trump complained that "it seems like we've gotten to a place in life and society where everything has got to be kind of politicized. At the end of the day this is a sick, sick, sick person. "
He's going to talk about the synagogue attack, calling the gunman a "wack job" who "should absolutely get the death penalty," and he gave what he called "major shout-out" to law enforcement.
