While most politicians were quick to put out statements decrying the violence, some Republicans, including potential Donald Trump vice presidential candidate Sen. J.D. Vance and far-right Trump-supporting firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have called out Democratic rhetoric following shots being fired at President Donald Trump.
“Today is not just some isolated incident,” Vance wrote on X. “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 wanted this to happen,” Greene posted on X. “They’ve wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything to make that happen.”
