Ah, one of those words that can mean the opposite of itself. Noted in “Trump aims low, falsely claims Dems are ‘complicit’ in murders,” Steve Benen, Maddowblog:
I’m not aware of any previous instance in which a sitting president accused a major political party of being “complicit” in murders. Indeed, the fact that Trump World’s new, 30-second ad isn’t a massive national outrage is evidence that we’re all getting a little too inured to this president debasing the political discourse and destroying American norms.
