Is Biden-Harris ‘Rhetoric’ to Blame for Second Assassination Attempt on Trump?

Christina Lewis • September 16, 2024

When the liberal media compares Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, is it really a surprise that someone would want to get rid of him?

After the second assassination attempt on Trump on Sunday in Florida, the former president said in an interview with Fox News Digital that the arrested suspect in the shooting, Ryan Wesley Routh, “believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it.”

The former president was referring to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, who replaced Biden as Democrats’ nominee for president in the Nov. 5 election.

“Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country—both from the inside and out,” Trump said.

After news broke Sunday on the second attempt to kill Trump, liberals and conservatives took to social media to voice their opinions.

Here is a sampling of what they had to say.

He had a Biden-Harris bumper sticker and spent years posting on X how much he hated Trump and wanted to die for Ukraine

Media: “Unclear ideology”

Lester Holt is trash who should be taken off the air for this. Trump has nearly been assassinated twice now, and regime media—who are deliberately inciting the violence—have decided it’s Trump’s fault that deranged Democrats keep trying to murder him. https://t.co/b0tt82JFhS

I said it before and I'll say it again: Barack Obama was the FIRST one who compared Trump to Hitler. The entire hate campaign against Trump was started by Obama! https://t.co/yexJ8TDz8X

Kamala knows exactly what she’s doing.

She compares Trump to Hitler. She says he’s a danger to democracy.

Then, when someone takes a shot at him, she talks about non-violence.

Naw. She needs people in a state of hysteria.

She craves their violence. She incites it. https://t.co/Oih5yEP30L

We were taught in kindergarten that words have consequences.

When you spend every moment of every day comparing Donald Trump to Hitler and calling him a “threat to democracy”, the result are two attempts to take his life by your supporters.

This is disgusting. pic.twitter.com/vWHodmGPMm
