Biden kept escalating his rhetoric against Trump, claiming that Trump and his supporters “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,” while warning that “equality and democracy are under assault.”
Biden’s X account was full of such language.
Biden even used the threatening phrase “putting Trump in the crosshairs”-——
meaning being aimed at by a gun, such as a rifle that has an aiming device with crosshairs.
Crosshairs are a pair of fine wires or lines crossing at right angles.....
the focus of a gun sight, for use in positioning and aiming at a target.
“Biden kept escalating his rhetoric against Trump,”
Biden my arse. It was Obama and Biden’s other Marxist handlers, who are now incurring their most deserved comeuppance.
Not to be overly pedantic.... :-) If that's the one I think you mean, Biden actually said:
"It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."Same general meaning, of course, except that "crosshairs" (what you described) are indeed a pair of orthoganal fine lines. A "bullseye" target is a set of concentric circles, with the center circle often being called "the bullseye". Some bullseye targets also have radiating lines, such as a dart board, but the center is a cicle.
I know, picky, picky....:-)
