Former President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., recently criticized corporate media and Democrats who are attempting to “both sides” the assassination attempt on his father. In a tweet, he expressed frustration with the left-wing media and Democrat political hacks that seem to be trying to blame Republicans for the political violence and bloodshed surrounding the incident.
For years, Trump has been compared to Hitler by both corporate media and far-left Democrats, who have framed him as a “threat to democracy” and to the American way of life itself. During this time, several high-profile figures have called for Trump’s “elimination,” including President Joe Biden himself.
However, following the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, left-wing talking heads were quick to point the finger at Republicans and Trump supporters. Some expressed concern about the former president’s reaction to almost being shot to death and potential retaliatory violence.
In response to this incident, CNN Special Correspondent Jamie Gangel said that people are hearing a message they don’t want to be sent right now, while other media figures have blamed Trump for inciting violence with his “fight” rhetoric after the assassination attempt. Even prominent “Never Trump” pundit David Frum published an article in The Atlantic blaming Trump for his own attempted assassination.
Despite this criticism, many believe that political violence has been a part of American history and will continue to be an issue in the country’s politics.
