Donald Trump has blamed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for last month’s failed assassination attempt against him by accusing them of making it difficult for the Secret Service to protect him.
The Republican presidential nominee’s claim – for which he offered no evidence – was made on the television talkshow Dr Phil, hosted by Phil McGraw, on Tuesday. The remarks follow disclosures that several Secret Service agents from the Pittsburgh field office had been placed on administrative leave after the 13 July shooting.
At a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month, Trump was grazed on the ear by a bullet after a 20-year-old gunman opened fire from the roof of a nearby building. One rallygoer, Corey Comperatore, was killed and two others were seriously wounded. The gunman was shot dead by a Secret Service officer at the scene.
“When this happened, people would ask, whose fault is it?” Trump told McGraw. “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. They were weaponising government against me, they brought in the whole DoJ to try and get me, they weren’t too interested in my health and safety.
It’s because of Biden and Harrises VIOLENT RHETORIC! If they weren’t so VIOLENT it would have NEVER HAPPENED! Now GET READY FOR A BLOODBATH MY FELLOW REPUBLICANS! DEMOCRATS want your GUNS!
remember guys, tucker never said on national television that joe biden was “giving a speech in front of a nazi blood red background” That never happened.
Remember guys donald trumps personal attorney joe digenova never said that chris krebs (shortly after the 2020 election statement he made) should be “taken out at dawn and shot”
remember guys, the republicans never, not once in twenty years called the dems “communists” nor have they ever accused the dems of “turning america communist” or wanting to “overthrow democracy and make america communist”
remember guys, republicans never use violent rhetoric, it’s only the dems.
Remember guys, as the dems, it’s our responsibility to fall on the knife EVERY time something bad happens, the republicans NEVER do anything bad, EVER.
