Fox News
FOX News' Howard Kurtz explains why the rhetorical blame game is certain to rear its ugly head following a deadly shooting and assassination attempt at former President Trump's rally in Pennsylvania.
I am especially grateful that President Biden, who called Trump Saturday night, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and many other Democrats have united in declaring that political violence is absolutely unacceptable, in wishing Trump well, in praying for him, and in immediately putting partisanship aside.

Trump having the instinct to pump his fist several times in efforts to reassure his supporters that he was all right despite the blood on his face – an image that may have changed the campaign – is naturally part of the story.
