Who is to Blame for Attempted Trump Assassinations? The Democrats and their Media Allies

Just ahead of the second assassination attempt on ex-President Donald Trump, the media, Hollywood, the lefty Internet and Democrats had been continuing to push their hateful rhetoric steeped in violent imagery.

As the Daily Signal reported, “the New Tolerance Campaign, a nonprofit watchdog aimed at confronting “intolerance double standards” practiced by “establishment institutions, civil rights groups, universities, and socially conscious brands,” compiled a list of extreme rhetoric against Trump that may have contributed to the second assassination attempt.”

“New Tolerance Campaign research has shown two kinds of consistent and consistently charged rhetoric surrounding President Trump: insistence that his reelection would lead to the collapse of the country, and calls for the former president’s death,” Gregory T. Angelo, New Tolerance Campaign’s president, told The Daily Signal in a written statement Monday. (New Tolerance Campaign has taken to exposing extremism on the Left, to balance the impact of left-leaning groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center.)

“These proclamations aren’t sarcastic; they’re literal, and they’re being spoken by high-profile politicians and members of the mainstream media with massive audiences,” Angelo added. “It’s shocking that there have been two attempts on President Trump’s life, but not surprising given the existential hyperbole about him pounding Americans’ ears day in and day out.”

The Daily Signal went on to show example after example of the violent rhetoric being doled out to the public by members of the left.

The Trump campaign has also pit out a fact check on social media showing the number of Democrat politicians who have declared that Trump is a “Hitler” who is a “threat to America” and who needs to be “eliminated.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) also placed the blame on the left for an increase in vitriolic rhetoric.

According to the Tennessee Republican, Democrats were inciting those who he described as “on the edge,” and they knew “exactly what they were doing,” Breitbart News reported.

“[C]learly, we have got to be careful because the power of suggestion is what we’re seeing right now,” he said. “The left has just ramped up their vitriol. You’ve seen the tweets that y’all are saying something about ‘they need to learn how to aim better’ and things like that. Those are the types of things that incite somebody who is on the edge. They know exactly what they’re doing. This establishment, the swamp, whatever you want to call it, it’s an open sewer. They have thrown down the gantlet. They know if Donald J. Trump is elected, their days are over. We’ll get this country back in order, and they will throw anything and everything at it.”

“The problem is you’ve got a Secret Service, at least in my opinion, and in the public’s eye, that is compromised and that it lacks in leadership,” Burchett added. “And you’ve got brave agents on the ground, obviously, one who took that shot. But why in the world would anybody be anywhere near the perimeter of this? This line of sight that we talk about is just beyond me. So we’ve got to get some answers. I don’t think we’re going to get them during this administration, but hopefully, under the Trump administration we will clean this rat’s nest out. I mean, we’ve got to go through these departments like Grant through Richmond, brother. We cannot put up with this anymore.”
