After years of labeling former President Donald Trump a “threat to democracy,” Democrats now condemn violence and appear stunned that someone has acted on their rhetoric.
Leaders in the Democratic Party have rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to denounce Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
“There is no room in American democracy for political violence,” Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, D-Miss., posted on X. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies said, “Political violence of any kind is never acceptable.” Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called it a “horrifying incident.” Adam Schiff declared he was “horrified by this apparent assassination attempt.”
“There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it,” President Joe Biden said in a statement on X.
But for almost a decade, Biden has been one of the primary proponents of the view that Trump is a “genuine threat to this nation” and “literally a threat to everything America stands for.”
Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation.
He's a threat to our freedom. He's a threat to our democracy. He's literally a threat to everything America stands for.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) June 28, 2024
Nearly two years ago, the president addressed the entire nation, expressing strong disdain for his fellow Americans, stating, “Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
“He really could become the dictator that he promised to be on day one,” Biden wrote following the Supreme Court’s ruling on the presidential immunity case Trump v. United States.
Now, Biden is feigning surprise at the assassination attempt on the former president and leading presidential candidate. You can’t call someone a threat to democracy and expect no consequences.
Biden, however, is not alone in this hypocrisy.
Schiff has consistently labeled Trump as “the central threat” to our democracy, repeatedly spreading hateful rhetoric about the 45th president.
During Trump’s impeachment trials, Schiff falsely asserted to Americans, “He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again. … You cannot constrain him.” Schiff claimed voters cannot trust Trump “to do the right thing” “for the sake of our country.”
The California congressman even went so far as to insist on MSNBC that “if Donald Trump becomes president again, that could be the end of our Democratic Republic.”
Because their policies are disastrous and fail time and time again, the only thing they have to rally votes is fear porn. As the polls show the ineffectiveness of their fear porn, they continue to ratchet up the rhetoric. They don’t give one shit which of their demented lemmings takes their calls for violence seriously and stupidly acts on it. No matter what, they will exploit the attempt or success for their own political needs.
Democrats are the party of political violence. They need to be held accountable.
It must be killing joe right now that he had to pull all his threatening ads that “targeted” Trump.
So be it.
This is exactly what they wanted. Their goal was to inspire one of their antifa soy boys to assassinate PT so they could sit back and claim no responsibility. They are just upset that he didn’t accomplish the mission.
AND, ideally, use the event to enact more onerous gun control.
Funny how they haven’t raised that topic at all yet. It just goes to show how hellbent they were on seeing him assassinated.
That is exactly why the Democrats tried to remove SS protection from President Trump.
Yep. They wanted to make him an easy target for one of their minions. RFK Jr. best watch his back as well. The dems’ internal polls must show PT is well outside the margin of fraud for them to be able to pull off another 2020 so assassination is the only game in town.
As if Trump has been sowing peace, unity, harmony, and respect for the law.
Judges, court clerks, election workers, and public officials and their families have been subjected to threats of violence because of his irresponsible rhetoric.
Your new hero. What don’t you get lost? Your presence here only shows what a problem the democrats are for this country. biden will not win in November, not after trying to have his opponent assassinated.
You are hated here more than you hate President Trump.
A dumb kid easily influenced by leftist violent rhetoric. Probably sought to impress fellow crybabies by taking out Trump. We’ll get the details, but beyond any argument, Democrat calls for violence is what brought this on. Since you deny it, we see the situation is not likely to improve any time soon.
It’s not our fault the DNC and Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden are disastrous failures. Maybe you should try to correct that issue instead of trying to have anyone that points the failures out killed.
The democrat party and the ilk that support it are a threat to this country.
Those who cheered the attempt, including greg are nothing more than human excrement
You make an excellent point about how easily influenced to action this would be assassin was.
He was a die hard liberal BUT he registered as a Republican to “mess with the Trump supporting candidates down ballot.”
He certainly was influenced by the constant drumbeat of “Trump=Hitler,” “Trump will be a dictator,” etc.
Was he “targeted” to be groomed to be a violent assassin, or was he just one of many who respond to liberal brainwashing?
So are you going to keep a picture of him on your Nightstand to kiss each night?
Nothing Trump has said is anything close to inciting violence and there is no actual proof any of those DNC operatives actually received any “death threats”. Pointing out the TRUTH is not inciting violence. You should learn the difference.
Take your Trump shit and shove it up your ass. You bring nothing here of relevant to reality.
Presented with video proof, you still deny what is before your eyes.
Never did Trump ever call for violence against Biden you Moron
And Trump called those that voted for Biden “liberal extremists” when? And if you will remember, it was not Trump, or any conservative that threatened two USSC justices and said they would “reap the whirlwind.” Then what happened, Comrade Greggie? Crowds protested in front of the Justices home, which is illegal, and the Democrat AG did NOTHING ABOUT THAT.
Remember January 6?
Yeah
Pelosi hijacked a constitutional effort to prevent biden from usurping the presidency.
Is there a purpose for you being alive?
Someone apparently asked that question regarding Trump, but you’ve learned nothing. All you want to do in response is turn up the anger and hate.
You are despicable. You and your ilk are the source of the hate in this country. There is no purpose for your existence.
Pot, meet kettle. Ever since you made your debut on this site, you have spewed nothing but left wing hatred. For 10 years plus you have shown how hate filled your black heart is.
Whose buried in Grants Tomb. Knucklehead
Get a Life Pinhead
Condemning an assassination attempt IS NOT a confession that your criticism of the person was unjustified, idiot. It’s a condemnation of assassination attempts.
If he is evil incarnate as you suggest over and over then why wouldn’t you want him dead? If he’s Hitler then why wouldn’t you want him dead and praise this assassination attempt.
greg is stuck between a rock and a hard place. He does want Trump dead but is too chicken shit to admit it. But, when his bluff is called he retreats to a corner like a little girl.
You have more tolerance than I for this person. I would have shitcanned his ass back when he called for the assassination this first time.
There’s a difference between not wanting someone to be president and wanting them dead. Is it really necessary to explain that to you?
Might be true but not in your case. You have made you case here. Curt has the receipts skipper.
Yeah. Like I said yesterday, feel free to repost them.
Maybe you’re confusing my comments about Putin with those about Trump. It’s an understandable mistake.
Every one of you leftists are pieces of shit. You need to try and redeem yourself.
No I nor anyone else is or has. Your hatred of President Trump is in line with that of the intended assassin. It might as well have been you on the roof except that unlike the assassin, you are still spewing hatred.
05/14/24 – Trump blasts his trial judges. Then his fans call for violence.
Trump never called for violence against any judge unlike Chuck (the schmuck) Shumer.
Violence is all you on the left have.
Yeah, calls for wanton violence are always inappropriate (as opposed to calls for actions that require due process). But people on the right don’t carry them out. The LEFT does. BLM, ANTIFA, Hamas terrorist supporters and mentally ill trannies do. THAT’S the difference.
If you DON’T want him dead, why do you support the party of political violence and fascism? It is a proven fact that the unhinged violent criminals reside on the left. What do you EXPECT to happen when you say an opponent should be “take out”, “put in the bullseye”, “kept from winning by any means possible” and so many celebrities coming right out and enacting murder? How stupid ARE you?
How stupid is it that firearms can’t be lawfully prohibited outside of the Republican National Convention site tomorrow?
Is it stupid to expect people not to try and kill other people? Why do you accept that as common human nature? Oh… because that’s in the Democrat DNA. I carry a weapon almost everywhere I go. Care to take a guess how many people I have killed?
You stupid, ignorant moron.
Yes, it’s stupid, as yesterday’s event demonstrated.
The left has a lot of work to do to raise the level of civility and lower the temperature of rhetoric. Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden just gave a wonderful speech… if only he meant it. Of course, he had to try and water down the assassination attempt by trotting out some disproved tropes, but only time will tell if he and his team of liars are going to permanently stop with the incendiary lies. He should have accepted his responsibility for the rhetoric and pledged to reform.
“Wouldn’t a clear-eyed political calculus tell you it’s going to be much tougher to win in 2024?” Stephanopoulos asked Biden referring to the abysmal polls.
Biden responded:
“Not when you’re running against a pathological liar. Not when he hadn’t been challenged in a way that he’s about to be challenged,”
Tell us that Biden is a good and honorable man, why doncha?
Sorry, but Trump IS a pathological liar. He’s going to be challenged by assertively pointing that out, and backing it up with his own recorded statements as proof. He’s going to be hit with an avalanche of campaign ads doing precisely that, with no punches pulled for the sake of decorum.
Biden IS, in fact, a good and honorable man.
Let’s review.
Those aren’t real Washington Post headlines, you lying little weasel.
They did exist at the time.
If so, they only existed as minute-by-minute news flashes as the story was coming in.
Yes they existed. You can do a search for Washington Post headlines from yesterday and see it. Look at the wording of the link below. Read the link because the page it brings up changed. So you are the weasel here.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/trump-rushed-offstage-from-rally-after-loud-pops/ar-BB1pW2f2
Apparently you have already done such a search. Why don’t you go ahead and share your links?
Yeah, that’s what I thought. Nothing.
I love it when you coward that NEVER answer a question expect your sources and answers IMMEDIATELY. Typical leftist.
Still nothing.
More for you. Don’t choke on it.
Are you really that dense? First of all the video I linked showed the headlines. Second YOU can look them up but seems you need to be spoon fed. Again the link from my last post has the words “loud pops” in it. As i said if you open it the story has changed because they modified it. Which does not change the fact how they first reported it. So here’s a list of 10 of them. Can you prove they are false? .
It’s not that people like Greg don’t believe such stupidity has been created, he just doesn’t want YOU to know about it. This is all standard leftist propaganda for Democrat morons.
Yes, they are. And CNN. And MSNBC. All trying to underplay the event hoping it will simply go away. That’s how simple minded your propagandists are.
That is a crock of shit God, why are you still among the breathing?
Listen to yourself.
Comrade Greggie, you need to heed you own advice. Rhetoric like yours is the reason Trump was shot.
You do know biden has no chance in November.
I think Trump will lose the election.
So, you are convinced the left will continue trying to assassinate him until they succeed and Democrats will employ more election fraud than ever before seen in history? Because that is the ONLY way they can win with their dismal record of utter failure.
Judge Cannon dismissed Jerk Smith’s phony, bogus, lawfare documents case. So, why don’t you just SUCK IT?
Enjoy.

Of course, he is referring to responding to physical attacks on rally attendees by leftists working for Bernie, but the truth and context never has any meaning for lying, violence-justifying leftists.
Why you never listen to yourself.

BTW Biden still has to deal with his own party trying to give him the boot. So much for honor among thieves.
Now they need to get rid of him even more. Trump just doubled in strength.
We just had a preview of what the future holds for America if Trump is reelected.
Oh, you mean the left will, again like they did before, embark on another rampage of violence? That only works in blue cities and states and I would recommend you think twice about trying it this time around.
Nice of you to openly admit where all the violence and chaos comes from, but that is not exactly news to me.
You should be shitcanned from this blog.
I’m probably not the one who fits the profile to be placed on an FBI watch list.
But you are. You have called for President Trump to be assassinated.
But the new trouble is that who, in his right mind, would want to replace joe now?
I mean, it is a guaranteed loss.
Dems with any political savvy will let joe take this death blow rather than themselves.
But then TRILLIONS are at stake.
Only chance for dems is Big Mike obama.
I’m sure it must look that way to you with your head all the way up there, but I’m sure your ass is getting sore by now, so how about popping it back out into the fresh air and sunshine and stop all your fucking lying. You have no idea how stupid and deranged you look.
joe just spoke to a VERY SMALL group yesterday.
He told two lies in less than two minutes of speaking.
One: He lied about being a full professor.
Two: He lied about the “very fine people” hoax, but called them “very good people,” this time.
Also, within the two minutes he misnamed two of his fellow elected dems, conflating one’s first name with the other’s last name.
And he then (again falsely) claimed that misnamed woman looked just like Jill.
(Neither women did, at all.)
Then, what you are saying is Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden deserves assassination? A corrupt, treasonous pedophile is NOT a “good and honorable man”. That is a total scumbag.
biden and honor are not inextricably linked.
Those two words in this context is like trying to push the positive poles of two magnets together. They repel each other.
If you didn’t want this to happen, why constantly LIE about Trump with the absolutely predictable result of someone trying to make a hero of themselves by ridding the world of a “tyrant”? All the left’s insane rhetoric sets up perfectly for another Operation Valkyrie. Take some responsibility for your own behavior.
biden lost the election in debate night. Then on big boy press conference night it was confirmed. After last night, there is not one democrat politician who would commit political suicide by replacing the cognitively brain dead biden
joe is toast.
He almost said “Make America Great Again,” during his wh speech.

No dem wants to take joe’s spot on the ballot because it is a done deal, dems lose.
Whether joe’s senile or has Parkinsons is off the front pages now.
Keep him and lose.
How many people here have been to any Trump open air rallies?
I went to one that was indoors, so, no, on my part.
But in open air venues, how would a shooter know in advance where the stage would be?
These areas are blocked off long before the stage and other components are put up.
A would be shooter would have to have a way in (officially) or some advance intel from someone else.
This guy was 20 and had no friends.
Who told him where a rooftop was that would give in a clean shot?
He wasn’t seen just walking around with his gun for however long it would have taken him to find that spot to shoot from.
And why wasn’t SS or local PD already up there, securing that roof?
Hard to believe he got so lucky at the last minute, or acted alone.
This guy as a SS agent protecting a President.

Was it the executive staff that left a rooftop less than 500 feet from the stage unguarded?
With a DEI hire as Chief of the Secret Service, what do you expect?
What makes her a DEI hire?
Maybe the fact that she is obviously unable to do her job. In case you haven’t noticed, this isn’t the first severe lapse in USSS performance.
Yes, she advanced the person that left that rooftop open allowed a person to gain access with a rifle. She only wants to put women in jobs they cant handle, 30 % is the goal for SS, The VP had a female agent removed, https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/secret-service-agent-removed-kamala-harris-detail-distressing-behavior-rcna149462
Are good SS being passed over because they dont have tits?
Yes. It was. Has anyone ever explained “responsibility” to you?
I believe Trump is what he says he is. You’re just not listening.
You are right. He IS a leader.
We don’t follow the leadership of Morons
Orange Man Badass.

When the left speaks of “unity” what they have meant in the past is we all fully sign onto and endorse the left’s full agenda. If they somehow mean something different now remains to be seen.
When Trump calls for unity, as he did in 2016, on, he means to stop attacking him and the country and give his policies a chance. The left never did that.
The rhetoric from the left is unmistakable as a dog whistle for impressionable, perhaps medicated disaffected young people.
