Government, private think tanks hype right-wing threat, ignore left-wing violence: experts
Fox News
Amid a second assassination attempt on Trump, government agencies have condemned far-right extremists but fail to address escalating left-wing threats.
Regarding threats against Donald Trump and his associates, Smith said, "We've seen condemnations of violence on the left, that's good, and that's appropriate." Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics. She leads Fox News Digital coverage of the Senate.
"And yet we still hear many on the left saying things like, ‘Donald Trump is a threat to democracy,’ that type of heated rhetoric," Smith said. "Unfortunately, I think it was foreseeable that it would lead to these types of actions against Donald Trump and potentially others who support him, which I think, very tragic. And so, if those on the left want to focus on something, I think certainly ratcheting down the rhetoric would be a good place to start."
