George Stephanopoulos on Sunday reacted to the information that President Trump was shot in a failed assassination try, ignoring the divisiveness and violent rhetoric from the left and claiming, “President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as nicely.”
Chief World Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz, within the clip beneath, mentioned the tried assassination with Stephanopoulos and stated that it doesn’t matter what, “you’re going to hear conspiracy theories going ahead.” Identical to we did after the JFK assassination, proper?
They couldn’t take Trump out with lawfare and prison fees, and now Trump has been shot two days earlier than the RNC conference, the place he’ll settle for the Republican Social gathering Nomination for President of the USA. It’s oddly suspicious that the main presidential candidate was virtually murdered final night time in entrance of tens of 1000’s of supporters and thousands and thousands watching at residence as he faces off towards Joe Biden, a person who can’t string a sentence collectively and has weaponized the federal government towards political opponents and dissidents since day one in workplace.
Right here’s a clip of Democrat media personalities, celebrities, and politicians fear-mongering, calling for violence, and even calling for Trump’s assassination over time:
After all, if random Trump supporters or Republican politicians stated this about Biden, we might count on the media to drop all protection of Biden’s troubles and run this story wall-to-wall to rescue his marketing campaign. Nevertheless it’s at all times completely different when Democrats make vile statements.
Right here’s one other clip of Joe Biden, in his blood-red-themed 2022 dictator-style speech, warning in regards to the risks of “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans,” who he stated are a “clear and current hazard” and enemies of the state. The clip is ready alongside Democrats rioting and assaulting folks they disagree with:
Why ought to we consider the Democrats didn’t play a task on this or at the very least encourage it with their violent rhetoric?
The left at all times blames Donald Trump’s so-called “violent rhetoric,” however we haven’t seen any tried assassination of a prime Democrat.
Nonetheless, Raddatz and Stephanopoulos instructed their viewers that Trump and his supporters are accountable, citing a number of statements Trump has made and the left misrepresented. After all, they continued mendacity about what Trump stated, together with his feedback a couple of “massacre,” which was hyperbole to characterize what Biden’s insurance policies will do to our nation. It’s additionally true in a literal sense when utilized to what’s taking place because of the murderers and rapists that Democrats are permitting to kill harmless Individuals.
Raddatz additional ranted about January 6, which is able to possible be introduced up much more now as the reality about violent Democrats is delivered to the forefront. Donald Trump Jr., early this morning, known as everybody nonetheless speaking about January 6 “stuffed with sh*t!!!!”
If J-13 doesn’t get the identical consideration J6 did you guys are all stuffed with shit!!!! https://t.co/PZpq6yTdn3

Watch beneath:
Raddatz: Additionally George we have now to level out, regardless of who the shooter, what the shooter’s motives had been, regardless of who the shooter is, you’re going to hear conspiracy theories going ahead.
Stephanopoulos: No query about that. However as you level out, these statements from JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy, in fact, President Trump and his supporters have contributed to this violent rhetoric as nicely.
Raddatz: Effectively, completely, George. We had been simply wanting again this morning at a few of the issues that former President Trump has stated. He warned final March of potential loss of life and destruction if he had been charged by the Manhattan District Lawyer, our nation is being destroyed as they inform us to be peaceable. Trump, in January, warned of bedlam within the nation if the prison fees towards him succeeded. And naturally, in March, he stated, If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a massacre for the entire, that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a massacre for the nation that would be the least of it. He stated he was partly joking and that that was taken out of context, however these are certainly his phrases, and you’ve got heard it from supporters as nicely. And supporters are definitely, in some elements indignant. And let’s keep in mind January 6. In so some ways for the marketing campaign, January 6 will in all probability be within the background after yesterday’s occasion. This can be a very tough time for this marketing campaign. I’m positive this week in Milwaukee that President Trump will spotlight this, and President Biden goes to have to determine the right way to go ahead together with his marketing campaign and what precisely they are saying.
