Republican Congressman Mike Collins of Georgia has responded to the attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life with a comment many may be thinking in the stunned aftermath of the horrific act.
Collins blamed President Joe Biden and by way, his total entourage — the Biden administration, the Democrats, the liberal left media, and the rest of the vile conglomerate — for the incident. Well beyond the shooter himself, it is the toxicity they’ve relentlessly perpetuated that, in Collins’ opinion as well as many others, caused Trump to be harmed.
This includes the remarks the president made on July 8. Biden said, “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we are done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
Biden could have chosen any other word than “bullseye.” He didn’t. He chose that specific one.
You’d have to be a moron and politically naive to believe that was by accident. Not only was the statement divisive, but the single word gave a green light to any person with a screw loose to latch onto and wreak havoc.
Collins posted Biden’s remark on social media platform X after Saturday’s shooting and commented, “Joe Biden sent the orders.”
Literally, Biden didn’t call for Trump’s assassination, but figuratively? It is hard to argue that Biden and the left didn’t push the shooter 99 percent of the way up the ladder and onto the roof, whether or not the shooter thought up the idea of assassinating Trump alone or was part of a larger plan.
The Washington Post reported that no fewer than eight Republican lawmakers have blamed Biden and at least 21 blamed “Trump critics” for Saturday’s bloody attack.
Republican Congressman J.D. Vance of Ohio, who also happens to be a front-runner for Trump’s vice presidential pick, seconded Collins’ conclusion, posting on social media platform X, “Today is not just some isolated incident. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”
“Democrats and liberals in the media have called Trump a fascist,” Sen. Rick Scott of Florida chimed in on X.
“They’ve compared him to Hitler. They’ve tried to lock him up. They tried to remove his Secret Service protection. Just this week, @JoeBiden said he wanted to put Trump in the crosshairs.
“This isn’t some unfortunate incident. This was an assassination attempt by a madman inspired by the rhetoric of the radical left.”
Much of the political violence that has escalated to the climatic moment that nearly cost Trump his life should be owned by the left — including the legacy media outlets, which have been gleefully one-upping each other to paint an exaggerated portrait of the 45th president as a tyrant who intends to become a dictator and destroy democracy.
It cannot be forgotten, though, that the shooter ultimately made the final decision to act himself.
I think more important than finger-pointing, although quite instinctive, is to refrain from allowing ourselves and our Republican leaders to cast themselves in the same damning light Biden and the left covet.
Politics have now been placed before life. The resulting blame game could very well lead to additional traumatic events, including a civil war.
Leaders on the right should purposely attempt to lower the temperatureof our nation — to bring calm and unify. Otherwise, they will simply be playing into Biden’s and the Democrats’ hands — helping to muddy history in the process.
We don’t need any more poor examples running or ruining this nation. Our government already looks like a joke on the world stage.
The loudest statement and best revenge is to put Trump back into the White House. That is where conservative voice and Republican leadership need to concentrate their efforts now. source
I fully agree on all parts! I don’t believe this kid acted on his own, why would he think he could hit the president when he couldn’t get on the rifle team in high school? How could a kid get past all security and end up on top of a building, where several people saw him, but no Secret Service or FBI went over there to check it out? I believe that the kid was a fall guy, if he even made the shot and he was meant to be taken out an immediately. ? I believe that the kid was a fall guy, if he even made the shot and he was meant to be taken out immediately by a sharpshooter so he couldn’t Spill his guts to anyone. I believe that the Democrats thought that Biden going on television and. Being concerned about President Trump And Providing Secret Service to be upped for President Trump’s next rally, I think The left thought that would all go In their favor. I don’t think they expected the tables to turn like they have. I mean, I know they didn’t expect that! But I think they literally shot themselves in the foot by having someone, be it that kid or someone else, shoot President Trump.
I agree with your every word………
