Former President Donald Trump was almost murdered on the night of Saturday, June 13, when speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. One of the bullets hit him in the ear, almost hitting his head and killing him. In the wake of the sickening assassination attempt, Senator and potential Vice President pick JD Vance called out the Biden Campaign, alleging that its rhetoric was responsible for the attack.
In his tweet on the subject, Sen. Vance argued that the Biden Campaign, in arguing that former President Trump will act like an “authoritarian dictator” if elected, an astoundingly ridiculous claim, has dramatically raised the temperature in American politics, and the premise that Trump must be stopped whatever the cost led to the attack.
Making that powerful argument about the horrific attack, Sen. Vance said, “Today is not just some isolated incident. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”
In a similar post to JD Vance, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott also blamed those who have been recklessly fear-mongering about former President Trump, saying, “Let’s be clear: This was an assassination attempt aided and abetted by the radical Left and corporate media incessantly calling Trump a threat to democracy, fascists, or worse.”
Making much the same point, Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita argued, (grammatical mistakes his) “for years, and even today,leftist activists, democrat donors and now even @JoeBiden have made disgusting remarksand descriptions of shooting Donald Trump it’s high time they be held accountable for it the best way is through the ballot box.”
Others pointed to a clip in which Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman said, in November of 2023, that Trump has to be “eliminated.” Goldman said, speaking to former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki, “His rhetoric is really getting dangerous.” Goldman continued, “More and more dangerous. We saw what happened on January 6th, when he used his inflammatory rhetoric now, and his recent truth social post is incredibly, incredibly scary for anyone that might be trying to work in government. And it is just unquestionable at this point that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated.” Goldman later apologized for his remarks.

Another account, End Wokeness, posted, “Former Senator Claire McCaskill recently declared on MSNBC that Trump is more dangerous than Hitler and Mussolini. This rhetoric is what got us here.” McCaskill, for reference, said, also in November of 2023, “A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between [Benito] Mussolini and [Adolf] Hitler and the use of the terminology like ‘vermin’ and the drive that those men had towards autocracy and dictatorship. The difference, though, I think makes Donald Trump even more dangerous, and that is he has no philosophy he believes in.”
Watch her here:
The alleged shooter’s exact motive is yet to be reported, but it is obvious and certain that rhetoric has heated up dramatically in America since Trump rode down the Golden Escalator in 2015, and the obvious conclusion to such irresponsible fearmongering has, sadly, finally been reached.
