A Democrat congressman is walking back a comment he made against former President Trump over the weekend that sparked a social media firestorm.
"Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again," Rep. Daniel Goldman of New York posted on X on Monday.
"While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence. I apologize for the poor choice of words."
Goldman was referring to a comment he made over the weekend while discussing Trump’s actions on January 6.
"His rhetoric is really getting dangerous," Goldman said during an interview with President Biden's former press secretary Jen Psaki on her MSNBC show.
"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."

Will he get a visit from the Secret Service?....................Hell no..................

As they say, a “gaffe” is when you unintentionally say what you really think.
Right. It just slipped out.
No sale. Guy should get jail time.
What is dangerous is an out of control leftist bureaucracy AKA The Deep State.
That was no mistake, you lying cur. It’s just that you got caught that you regret, you degenerate.
Lock him up for Insurrection.
Jen may have subtly encouraged that kind of remark from Goldman, but she didn’t make him say it out loud and on live camera.
"Look, see!! MAGA Extremists put a hit on Goldman.....
A majority of ‘Rat Congress Critters are assistant Jihadis.
Goldman?
No. You were honest the first time. I mean as honest as a person like you can be.
Liberals always say what they think first and then try to justify it later. We hear them the first time and plan accordingly.
Lots of jail time!
NO—_WE DID NOT SEE HAT HAPPENED ON JAN 6.
THAT INFORMATION HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED.
For the rest of his life and send him to Guatanamo Bay.
The irony is over the top.
Trump’s rhetoric is getting dangerous?! Whose rhetoric is getting dangerous?
They say what they are really thinking, are surprised when there’s blowback, and then offer non-apology *apologies*.
