The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Sunday afternoon in Florida, just nine weeks after a previous attempt in Butler, Pa., has reignited concerns about the violent and hateful rhetoric coming from the political left.
Mere days before Trump was shot in Butler, Joe Biden declared, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.” Of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the violent rhetoric from the left.
For years, Biden and the Democratic Party have relentlessly compared Trump to Hitler, branding him a threat to democracy and a would-be dictator. Such rhetoric has continued to this day. Kamala Harris has been using incendiary rhetoric against Trump, just like Biden has. In fact, she once openly joked about killing him.
In 2018, during an appearance on « The Ellen DeGeneres Show », DeGeners asked Harris a lighthearted question. « If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be? »
Kamala’s response, however, took a darker turn: « Does one of us have to come out alive? »
The audience responded with nervous laughter, but the quip underscored the casual nature with which some on the left have discussed violence against Trump.
