In the same breath, Trump condemned Democrats' rhetoric and used that same rhetoric against Democrats, describing them as an existential threat to the U.S.
Former President Donald Trump blamed Democrats on Monday for the latest attempt on his life, saying their rhetoric about him being a “threat to democracy” motivated a gunman at his property in Florida.
In the same breath, he used the same rhetoric against Democrats, describing them as an existential threat to the U.S.
“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 told Fox News Digital on Monday.
Trump expanded on the sentiment in a post on his website.
“The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust,” Trump wrote.
