The Left can’t take responsibility for their part in demonizing Donald. They’re looking for any escape hatch they can.
And now MSNBC blamed one man for the attempt on Trump’s life that will leave you fuming mad.
After a shooting outside his golf club on Sunday, MSNBC host Alex Witt questioned whether former President Trump’s campaign would call for “toning down the rhetoric.”
Shortly after initial reports of shots being fired outside Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, the Alex Witt Reports host asked whether Trump’s campaign would begin calls for his supporters to begin “toning down the violence.”
“Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to do that?” Witt inquired at the time.
“Because he will reach out to his supporters and say let’s take this down. We do not know the source of any gunshots or gunshots. We do not know who is responsible for this. The whole thing has yet to be 100% confirmed from start to finish how this all played out.”
She continued, “But do you expect to hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric? Toning down the violence? Or would that be atypical of the former president?”
MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan remarked, “Well, remember back to the assassination attempt from President Trump’s life and how there was talk of a new tone and the Republican convention was, by Trumpian standards, muted, and it did seem like he was trying to take it down a few notches. But then by the end of the convention speech, we were back to where we started.”
She continued, “I don’t know how long this moment of unity for the country where we come together and say ‘I don’t want any political opposition to be under threat of violence. We don’t want that.’ I would love for us to have a unity-type moment, but I think it is probably going to be fleeting, as we have seen in the past.”
Jordan also questioned if individuals on “both sides of the aisle” would attempt to “lower the temperature.”
“How have we gotten to this point when the demonization of the other side…it is no longer politics. It has gotten bigger than that, the calls for violence, the violent rhetoric and look at what happens. This heated rhetoric can only go so far before, unfortunately, it has led to violence on both sides of the aisle. So I think it is something that Democrats and Republicans have to be very cognizant about. What can we all do to take the temperature down?” Jordan stated.
Fox News Digital reached out to MSNBC for comment.
According to initial reports of the gunfire, two people were targeting each other, and Trump was not the target.
However, as fresh evidence became available, the FBI issued a statement indicating that the incident seemed to be another assassination attempt on the former president.
Law enforcement officials verified to Fox News that the suspect is Ryan Wesley Routh.
Agents allegedly fired at him while he was armed with a gun.
Authorities said he was able to shove his gun’s muzzle past the chainlink fence outside the golf club.
He was 300-500 yards away from Trump. The Secret Service spotted Routh and opened fire.
Routh was able to escape, but he was eventually apprehended by authorities and arrested. He was caught with two backpacks and a GoPro camera.
The gun was discovered from the bushes near the golf course.
The event occurred almost two months after an assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
