Donald Trump was targeted Sunday in a second apparent assassination attempt in as many months.
An eagle-eyed Secret Service agent reportedly spotted the barrel of a gun in bushes a few hundred yards from where the former president was playing golf and shot at the would-be assassin, who was later arrested.
It’s a frightening development that highlights the recklessness of the hateful rhetoric constantly aimed at Trump by his political opponents, even after he was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania in July.
Last week Kamala Harris falsely accused Trump of calling Nazis “fine people”, promising a “bloodbath,” and being responsible for “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”
She and Biden and surrogates constantly exaggerate the J6 Capitol riot and use it to frame Trump as a “threat to democracy.”
Joe Biden has labeled Trump and “MAGA Republicans” as “semi-fascists” and domestic terrorists.
Tim Walz called Trump a “fascist” and “threat to Democracy” who will “put people’s lives in danger.”
On Saturday Democratic Senator Chris Murphy described Trump as “a candidate explicitly running on the promise of political violence.”
In Orwellian fashion they accuse Trump and his supporters of stoking violence, when the evidence is almost all the other way.
Conveniently, whenever Democrats are feeling the heat on a damaging issue, there are always bomb threats or phony-looking racist leaflets to distract the media and get maximum publicity.
In Springfield, Ohio, where Trump’s “They’re eating the pets” riff and a thousand memes focused attention on the plight of locals overwhelmed by a sudden 30 percent increase in their population due to thousands of Haitian migrants ushered in by “Border Tsar” Harris and Biden.
Having ignored the border crisis for three years, the media is now demonizing long-suffering Springfield citizens and portraying anyone who highlights their plight as a violent bigot.
CNN host Dana Bash even accused Trump’s running mate JD Vance on Sunday of “causing the hospitals, the schools, the government buildings to be evacuated because of bomb threats” in Springfield.
What will it take for these demented partisans to lower the temperature?
