The Secret Service narrowly thwarted yet another assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Sunday. This was the second assassination attempt on Trump in just 64 days.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, reportedly staked out the course at Trump’s Palm Beach golf club for 12 hours with an AK-47 in the hopes of killing the former president. In the wake of this tragedy, conservatives everywhere are trying to figure out who is to blame.
According to Trump, however, this is coming right from the top. Trump spoke out after the latest assassination attempt to blame the rhetoric of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their fellow Democrats.
From The Daily Wire:
In a campaign email sent to supporters, Trump’s team said the would-be assassin on Sunday “was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years.”“Democrats used increasingly incendiary rhetoric against President Trump in the days, weeks, and months leading up to the two assassination attempts,” the email added, before citing more than 50 instances of such rhetoric.
Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, for example, has repeatedly called Trump a “threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms.”
President Joe Biden said Trump needs to be put “in a bullseye,” called Trump an “existential threat,” and referred to “MAGA Republicans” as extremists and a threat to the “very foundations of our republic.”
It may seem extreme to blame Biden and Harris for the assassination attempts on Trump.
However, if the roles were reversed, with Biden and Harris being targeted by wannabe assassins, you can bet that Trump would be the first person that they would blame. Indeed, they would undoubtedly immediately say that it’s the rhetoric of Trump and his supporters that is putting their lives in danger.
So, why don’t we do the same thing?
Anti-Trump Rhetoric Has Gone Too Far
Biden, Harris, and the mainstream media have spent years viciously attacking Trump and his supporters. Hardly a day goes by in which you don’t hear a prominent Democrat describing Trump as being an “existential threat to democracy.” They have gone so far as to compare Trump to Adolph Hitler, and his millions of supporters to Nazis.
After being inundated with this rhetoric on a daily basis for years, it’s no wonder that multiple lunatics have concluded that killing Trump would be doing the world a favor.
It should be noted that Harris responded to this latest assassination attempt with an incredibly bland statement. She basically only said that “political violence has no place in America.”
Really, Kamala? That’s all you’ve got when responding to the heinous act of the attempted murder of a former president?!
Whether you think Biden, Harris and other Democrats are partly to blame for the assassination attempts on Trump or not, you can’t deny that their rhetoric has gone too far. If they had any decency, Democrats would tone this rhetoric down in the wake of what happened to Trump on Sunday.
Sadly, it’s become increasingly clear that top Democrats have no decency at all when it comes to Trump. Alas, don’t expect them to tone down their anti-Trump words anytime soon.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump targeted with second assassination attempt in 64 days.
- Trump fired back with 50 examples of violent anti-Trump rhetoric from democrats.
- Anti-Trump rhetoric from Democrats has crossed the line.
