Democrats, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in particular, often accuse former President Trump of “inciting violence” among his supporters. Yet, the only one who has been the target of violence is Trump himself. As conservative talk show host Dan Bongino says, that isn’t hyperbole…we have the receipts. It is clear that the dangerous and violent rhetoric coming from the mouths of Biden, Harris, and numerous other Democrats has inspired people to attempt to kill Donald Trump, and this should be a cause for concern.

“Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms.”
“It’s on us to recognize the threat [Trump] poses.”

Meanwhile, let’s turn our attention to what happened AFTER the SECOND attempt on Trump’s life:
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y., House Minority Leader):
“We must stop [Trump].”
Rachel Vindman, wife of Alex Vindmann, disgraced impeachment hoax witness: “No ears were harmed. Carry on with your Sunday afternoon.”
Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-New Jersey):
“This really seems to be a confluence of two very bad things going on in the Republican Party…the attempts to divide, to enrage the population.”

“The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil, but here we are.”
Lester Holt, NBC Nightly News:
“Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail. Mr. Trump, his running mate JD Vance, continue to make baseless claims…”
Republicans, President Trump, in particular, is continually blamed for inflamed rhetoric. Yet, neither Trump, nor JD Vance, nor any other prominent Republican has called for violence against Biden, Harris, or any other Democrat. It's crucial that the media provides a fair and balanced portrayal of Republicans rather than perpetuating biased narratives.
President Trump has already survived two assassination attempts, one narrowly missing him and the other only thwarted by a vigilant Secret Service agent. Yet, the Democrats continue to stoke the flames of their radical base, creating an environment where further attempts on Trump’s life are not a matter of "if" but "when."
