But of course the mainstream media had rather blame the victim. It’s really all Trump’s fault, dontcha know? If he’d just stay in his basement and post pro-Harris tweets, there’d be no problems. Right?

MSNBC anchor Alex Witt questioned Sunday whether former President Donald Trump and his campaign needed to tone down their rhetoric after the 2024 GOP nominee faced an apparent would-be assassin for the second time in three months.
Trump was playing a round and had reportedly just finished the fifth hole at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach when shots were fired, which were later confirmed to be from the scene where Secret Service agents engaged what the FBI is investigating as an assassination attempt on Trump.
At the time of the MSNBC discussion on Sunday’s Alex Witt Reports, the details were still not fully known and there was question whether Trump had been a target in the incident. Nevertheless, the conversation quickly went to the question of whether Trump’s rhetoric may have played a hand.
Witt asked MSNBC analyst and former Bush administration official Elise Jordan about the political implications ahead, to which Jordan replied that “heated rhetoric” has led to violence “on both sides of the aisle.”
“I think it’s just something that Democrats and Republicans have to be very cognizant about: What can we all do to take the temperature down?”
Witt focused on the idea that it is Trump’s rhetoric is what needs to be cooled, doubtfully asking whether he’d attempt to, or face calls from within to tone down his rhetoric.
Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to do that? Because he’s gonna reach out to his supporters and say let’s take this down. We do not know the source of any gunshots or gunshots. We do not know who is responsible for this. The whole thing has yet to be 100 percent confirmed from start to finish, how this all played out. But do you expect to hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric, toning down the violence, or would that be atypical of the former president?
Jordan replied that the July attempt on Trump’s life briefly cooled the temperature of the country. She said:
Remember back to the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, where there was talk of a new tone and the Republican convention was, by Trumpian standards, muted. It did seem like he was trying to take it down a few notches, then by the end of the convention speech, we were kind of back to where we started. So I don’t know how long this moment of unity for the country where we come together and we say I don’t want any political opposition to be under threat of violence.
Jordan predicted any unity after Sunday’s incident might ultimately prove “fleeting.”
Watch the clip above via MSNBC.
There have been 3 assassination attempts on Trump.
#1 An individual was sentenced last year to 22 years in prison for sending Trump a bio weapon, “Ricin” via mail.
#2. Butler PA
#3. Trump Golf Course West Palm Beach
Anyone who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart, mind and soul.
Anyone.
They could be people talking on tv or even people claiming to be religious leaders.
They have a criminal heart, mind and soul.

Yeah, Routh is probably a big Taylor Swift fan.

TRUMP’S RHETORIC???? How about your channel, CNN the big 3 toning down YOUR RHETORIC?????.....just Damn!!!
If you haven’t seen Dana Bash’s interview with J.D. Vance this morning, the replay is on youtube.
She looked like a deer in the headlights. Vance nicely destroyed her.
The Rats are loathsome, lying commies
They’ve tried to kill Trump 3 times and the corrupt media tells Trump to, “Tone down the rhetoric”.
Damn Trump! Stop trying to get assassinated!
Will there be calls for Democrats to tone down the EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, JUST LIKE HITLER, AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IS OVER IF TRUMP WINS, THREAT, DANGER, OMG THE WORLD IS OVER, DID I MENTION HITLER rhetoric on your side?
More than that, anyone who supports and votes for any traitorous Demonicrats has also given aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
BTW, already the word "traitor" is being banned on some allegedly conservative blog comments when it's used to describe Demonicrats.
“Look what you made me do!”
But of course the mainstream media had rather blame the victim. It’s really all Trump’s fault, dontcha know? If he’d just stay in his basement and post pro-Harris tweets, there’d be no problems. Right?
MSDNC does everything but put up a dead or alive picture. Perhaps they could look in the mirror for once.
In Islamic countries it is...............
That doesn’t include all the political “assassinations” the Rats have tried on Trump.
Trump should go digital from now to January.
Podcasts, weekly fireside chats, maybe hang with Elon, etc.
Keep a lower profile.
Yeah, he’s been calling himself hitler and a threat to democracy. He should stop that immediately and embrace the joy.
But really nice people other than that..............
