Biden urges America to 'lower temperature' after Trump shooting
BBC News ^ | July 14, 2024 | Matt Murphy

US President Joe Biden has condemned the assassination attempt on his predecessor Donald Trump in a primetime address from the White House, telling Americans that US politics must never be a "killing field". Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, was wounded in the ear after a gunman opened fire at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One person was killed and two more were critically injured in the attack.

In the Oval Office address - just the third of his presidency - Mr Biden urged Americans to "take a step back" and warned that "political rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated". "No matter how strong our convictions, we must never descend into violence," Mr Biden said in remarks that lasted just under seven minutes.

His short, but forceful, address largely went off without a hitch, amid ongoing scrutiny following a number of high-profile verbal slips. In his primetime address, the president called on Americans to come together and warned that increasing political polarisation meant November's election would be "a time of testing". Mr Biden and Trump remain locked neck-and-neck in opinion polls ahead of the election.

Well, “Joe,” the Junta just tried and almost succeeded in assassinating Donald J. Trump. We saw, in real time, what happened. It was an inside job, we make no mistake about it. We are PO’ed beyond your wildest psychotic episode.

That’s called projection. After inciting his voters with hate against President Trump and anyone Christian and conservative, he tells US to take it down a notch. He’s so transparent.

Joe is a liar, a hatefilled angry person. In his dimentia state, he thinks all can see how great he is.. President of the US.
His abministration has jailed anyone they want to stop talking.. They don’t care about people or country. They want complete control.. They are dangerous people.

Not quite, but there was certainly a menacing tone to Biden’s speech.

But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.

You can read the entire thing here. It is a despicable pile of propaganda.

The Republican convention should splice together all of the Media clips of the attempted assassination reports from DNC “journoactivists.” The Republicans have to address the BILLIONS of $$ of DONATION IN KIND that the DNC receives from these political activists in the mainstream media and social media platforms.
Every media outlet is in the bag for the DNC.
The headlines and articles do not reflect that President Trump was shot in an attempted assassination! Biden in his address to the nation referred to President Trump as “DONALD.” The media pen at the Republican convention should have very large DNC LOGOs placed all around it. The activists that label themselves as journalists should be called out. A very large aspect of the convention should focus on the DNC DINK media! The Donation in Kind (DINK) is an issue that must be addressed!! The DINK MEDIA is the biggest problem going into these elections in the coming weeks!

So, if we are conspiracy theorists, then we can assume that the administration failed to protect Trump on purpose, resulting in an attack which almost killed Trump and now that the administration failed, they want peace.

Sounds sort of like Hamas’s attack on Israel.

“US President Joe Biden has condemned the assassination attempt...”

He was just disappointed in the failure.

Jack Posobiec states that Biden could ‘lower the temperature’ by releasing Steve Bannon from prison.
