Donald Trump’s campaign released a damning email to supporters on Monday, Sept. 16 highlighting more than 50 instances where Democrats have labeled him a threat to democracy.
The former president was the target of a second assassination attempt in two months when a suspect was discovered aiming a rifle towards the Trump International Golf Course in Palm Beach, FL, where Trump was playing a round on Sunday, Sept. 15.
58-year-old Ryan Routh has been charged with federal gun crimes in relation to the attempt on the former president’s life. His voting record and donation history revealed him to be a supporter of the Democrats for several years.
The Trump campaign has since emailed supporters dozens of instances where prominent Democrats have used “increasingly incendiary rhetoric” against the former president. Many examples feature Trump and his supporters being referred to as a “threat” to the United States or democracy itself.
Among them include the following – to give just a sampling of the rhetoric leading up to the second assassination attempt:
And not surprisingly, after the second attempt on Trump’s life the rhetoric against him hasn’t toned down one bit. But that was to obviously be expected, as the rhetoric only escalated following the first assassination attempt. Team Trump provided plenty of examples of that too:
Also featured are a number of examples of inflammatory rhetoric used against Trump between the two attempts on his life. While including comments by lower-profile Democrats, the campaign also highlighted instances by liberal commentators and broadcasters.
“Democrats and the Fake News must immediately cease their inflammatory, violent rhetoric against President Trump — which was mimicked by yesterday’s would-be assassin,” Trump’s campaign added.
A 150-second video of notable clips was shared on social media by the End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) account on X.
Commentors online added to the countless list of examples in response to the clip.
Many also criticized the inflammatory rhetoric used by the left.
