While most politicians were quick to put out statements decrying the violence at Saturday’s rally where former president Donald Trump was shot, some Republicans, including potential Donald Trump vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance and far-right Trump-supporting firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, called out Democratic rhetoric in the aftermath.
“Today is not just some isolated incident,” Vance wrote on X. “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.”
“Democrats wanted this to happen,” Greene posted on X. “They’ve wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything to make that happen.”
She continued, calling out members of Congress who she wrote “cosponsored legislation to TERMINATE Trump’s Secret Service protection. Why would they want that? You know the reason.”
Written before it was confirmed that an audience member was killed, she continued, “Others may have been killed — innocent people that were there supporting President Trump and all they wanted was to Make America Great Again and they may have been murdered for it. Thank GOD Secret Service was there for Trump and everyone else at today’s rally.”
Both Vance and Greene are set to be speakers at this week’s Republican National Convention.

FJB said 5 days ago it was time to put Trump in the bullseye.
That witch Kathy Griffin finally got her bloody head.
All the media has been spreading hate and lies.
All the DNC-funded mom’s basement-dwellers on Reddit are treating this like a big joke.
They can all burn in hell.
Anybody here notice anything odd?
During the sham NY trial, a lot of speculation was that Trump was going to prison and he would be killed. Then talk here shifted to a direct assassination attempt on Trump.
Question, are the Democrats so transparent the we here have seen this coming weeks ago? Wonder how SS didn’t see this coming?
I agree. The Trump statement was unifying bit this is exactly what I would expect from surrogates and a VP.
Exactly. They are evil. And this is what we are up against. Do we want to sell our souls too?
I am just saying that we are better than this. We are better then them.
The sad truth is that they probably never regretted it. But people without a soul will do that.
That paranoid schizophrenic was a political lefty while the media was describing him as a conservative Palin supporter.
I ought to know. Up until a few days before the shooting I, among others, spent years debating politics against him on the old (now defunct) yahoo political message boards. He was a liberal left Democrat. Never had any criticism for democrats, only praise. Had nothing but scorn, contempt, and hatred for anything republican.
His screen name was his first name (Jared) and his avatar was a picture of himself with a full head of hair (whereas in his mugshot, hes bald). He was quite the prolific poster. He commented at least 15 times a day, 7 days a week, for all the years I knew him.
He stopped posting only about a few days before he went on his shooting spree. Because he posted so often every single day, his absence was immediately noticed by us other regulars. Everyone was asking, “Where’s Jared? Where’s Jared?”
Then the shooting occured and afterwards it came out that the shooters name was “Jared”. And people on the board were now saying, “Is this our Jared? Could this be our Jared?” As it turned out, indeed it was. The yahoo administration immediately set about trying to delete every message, every comment he ever made on the board. But they missed quite a few. They did delete his account too, but his posts, the ones they didn’t individually delete, remained.
President Biden, July 8, 2024:
“We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate; it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” Biden said. He added, “We can’t go another day, another day, without explaining what he’s doing, and we have to go after him.”
Will this cause Trump to miss any court dates?(/S for slime in NY and others).
Thank you, Liz.
Bad timing for the harsh remark.
Biden and the Dems hate Trump without restraint.
Part of low character. Whoopi (while we’re on the subject of low character) and the View laughed about hoping for Trump to go to Rikers and then to Gitmo and losing Secret Service protection as a convicted felon. Bad.
Can he attend the convention this week?
For a brain dead president, he manages to say horrid, evil BS that is fed to him.
They wanted a repeat of the 1935 assassination of Louisiana Governor Huey Long, who represented a huge political threat to Franklin D. Roosevelt.
So true.
So, this jackass wants us to feel sorry for the pooor Democrats that have been whipping up hatred for Trump for years?
“That’s exactly what these GOP attack dogs should be saying. They should take it one step further and start entering these statements into the Congressional record from the House and Senate floor.”
I agree.
This is a time for leadership.
We don’t need shrinking violets like Speaker Mike Johnson. My prediction; he’ll exonerate the left of any culpability.
Mitch McConnell is useless. He’ll make an obligatory statement then disappear for a few more days.
The fighers in the Republican party are worth their weight in gold.
See it coming? They were given directions on how not to handle an attempt. It does seem like there are good SS and not so good.
.
That rooftop being so close and no trees obstructing the path would take an 11 year old three minutes to identify as a danger.
Something is wrong.
Correction it is what the gop establishment NEEDS to be saying but won’t being to busy sucking DNC Donkey dick!🙁😪🙁
Remember some stupid lady comedian holding a bloody Trump head? They love this stuff.
