For years, the Left has referred to Donald Trump as a fascist and a dictator. President Joe Biden has referred to him as being like Hitler. Last week, Biden told supporters to stop talking about Biden’s disastrous debate with Trump, and put a bullseye on Trump.
“So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” he told supporters last week, according to POLITICO.
When Gov. Sarah Palin once published in 2011 an image of a bullseye on the district of Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the media and the Left blamed Palin for the attempted assassination of Giffords during a constituent meeting in Arizona.
But the media has fought the idea that the president and his followers who spout “fascist” and “Hitler” rhetoric are responsible for the gunman’s actions on July 13, when a bullet grazed the ear of the former president as he was speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania.
“You cannot repeatedly and endlessly label a major party candidate and former president Actual Hitler, a full-scale threat to democracy, without radically increasing the danger of violence in America. This danger has been obvious for years — and engaged in by nearly everyone on the Left, up to and including the current president. We are in a hideously ugly new era,” commented conservative Ben Shapiro.
Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, said what many Republicans have been thinking — that Biden’s campaign taking points have “led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”
Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat, commented, “The assassination attempt on President Trump is a logical consequence of repeatedly comparing him to Adolf Hitler. After all, if Trump truly was another Hitler, wouldn’t it be their moral duty to assassinate him?”
Meanwhile, in an early morning press conference, Federal Bureau of Investigation officials from the Pittsburgh field office referred most questions about security to the Secret Service, which was not at the press conference.
The FBI has been put in charge of the investigation, a condition that may give conservatives little confidence, as it’s the same agency that had to be forced to admit that the Hunter Biden laptop was real and not a Russian disinformation operation.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced Saturday that he has contacted the Secret Service for a briefing and is also calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear for a hearing. He is opening up an investigation into the shooting.
The FBI early Sunday morning identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pa. Crooks crawled along the roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards from the rally stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.
