ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, a lifelong Democrat who worked in the Clinton administration, threw a fit during an interview over the weekend that former President Donald Trump and one of his sons blamed Democrats for the assassination attempts on the former president. Stephanopoulos had the meltdown during an interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-CA) when asked about the recent remarks. The man who shot Trump in the ear during an attempted assassination in July had previously donated to a far-left cause while another man who was arrested for an attempted assassination in September had a history of donating to Democrats dozens of times. “Is it right for the president and his family to suggest that Democrats are behind the effort to assassinate him?” Stephanopoulos asked. Johnson responded: “I don’t think they’re saying that Democrat Party tried an assassination attempt.” “I think what they’re alluding to is what we’ve all been saying,” he continued. “They have got to turn the rhetoric down. For years now the leading Democrats in this country, the highest elected officials and the current nominee for president have gone out and said that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. That the republic will end if he’s re-elected.” “It’s absolute nonsense,” he continued. “And they have incited dangerous people to do dangerous things. The rhetoric has. I think that is a fact that’s objective that everybody can agree to. We do need to turn the volume down.” Stephanopoulos became incensed that Johnson blamed the extreme rhetoric of the Democratic Party for the shootings and demanded to know if Johnson supported the remarks from the Trump family. “What they’re referring to is the absolute open attacks that have been engaged by Democrats against President Trump since the day he came down that golden escalator in 2016, OK?” Johnson said. “The lawfare is unprecedented. They have attacked him in every single way. They try to malign his character every single day. And the people have had enough of it. That’s why you have these massive turnouts at the rallies. People have had enough of this.” Stephanopoulos then accused Johnson of “repeating the charge” and again demanded to know if Johnson supported the statement. “George, I’m not going to parse the language what people say at rallies,” Johnson said. “I could give you pages and pages of crazy comments by the leading Democrats in this country. That’s not what this is about. We have to talk about the greatest collection of challenges that this country is facing probably since World War II, maybe the Civil War.” Stephanopoulos continued to harp on the issue for another few minutes before he eventually changed the subject.

Things got spicy between the two former party chairs on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos, hosted this week by its namesake Clintonite flack, over Eric Trump saying that Democrats were behind the attempted assassinations of former President Donald Trump. Watch as former RNC chair Reince Priebus and his DNC counterpart Donna Brazile argue over violent rhetoric (click “expand”): ABC THIS WEEK 10/6/24 9:41 AM DONNA BRAZILE: We need both political parties, both leaders. Do not go out there and blame Haitians. Do not go out there and blame immigrants and migrants. That is the rhetoric we hear every day, and if you cannot -- you cannot say that Joe Biden won this election? Joe Biden won the election, then you should not… REINCE PRIEBUS: This show is not a monologue, Donna. BRAZILE: …you are not…It’s the floodgate of lies.  REINCE PRIEBUS: The rest of matter is people have different opinions. BRAZILE: It’s the floodgate of lies. Lies. PRIEBUS: And the fact of the matter is… BRAZILE: Lies. REINCE: This is a former president and his son that number one, came extremely close to losing his life and losing his father. Okay? He's been called a threat to democracy from the very beginning. They got rid of a sitting president to fulfill their message that he's a threat to democracy, in order to save this country. They had a sitting president step down, put in a vice president in the summer. This is how they feel about it, and this is how everyone on the Democratic Party feels about it.  BRAZILE: Oh, I will pray for him… PRIEBUS: So don't sit here and act like holier than thou… BRAZILE: I'm not holy, baby.  PRIEBUS: …that…that…that somehow you have a corner on this message.   BRAZILE: I'm telling the truth. The floodgate of lies. PRIEBUS: Because you don't. BRAZILE: And you don’t. PRIEBUS: And that's why you're not winning -- that's why Harris is behind and that's why she's going to lose. It's the rhetoric. BRAZILE: She's not behind. PRIEBUS: People aren’t buying the rhetoric. BRAZILE: She’s not behind… PRIEBUS: People are not buying the rhetoric. BRAZILE: We’re not buying the lies. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Why can't you say…why can’t you simply say that blaming Democrats for the assassination… PRIEBUS: I would not blame Democrats.! STEPHANOPOULOS: Just say it's wrong. PRIEBUS: I just said it, OK? But it's also wrong to paint the President of the United States …President Trump… BRAZILE: The former president! PRIEBUS: As this threat to democracy that's going to end the United States of America. What does that do to people's heads when you do that? What does it do to millions- hundreds of millions of people in America? It has an effect, guys! BRAZILE: What does that do to legal immigrants? What does that do to legal immigrants when you know you're lying?  PRIEBUS: It has an effect. BRAZILE: What does it do to kids trying to go to school? PRIEBUS: We’re talking about the President of the United States practically getting killed. That’s the topic. BRAZILE: And we all condemn that.  PRIEBUS: You’re- you’re hitting 20 different topics at once. BRAZILE: The Democrats condemned that, but the lies- the floodgate of lies must stop. PRIEBUS: What lies- like that President Trump’s going to monitor women's pregnancies? Oh, that's Project 2025. It has nothing to do with President Trump, but you know what? It's a good talking point for the Democrats so they keep saying it. They lie all the time. BRAZILE: Oh, wow. Periodic reminder that all this garment-rending from Democrats and their Regime Media allies is over the words of someone whose loved one, to put it in terms the Left can understand, was almost the victim of gun violence. It is often the case that the Regime Media showcases these relatives as unimpeachable advocates for whatever policy they may be advocating for at the time, whether gun control or abortion on demand. But such advocacy and rhetoric is apparently off limits to the Trump family, notwithstanding their being spared of watching their patriarch’s head explode on national TV due to a providential last-second turn.  Brazile uses her allotted time on a question about Special counsel Jack Smith’s October Surprise filing in order to pontificate on Trump’s statement. At that point, Priebus had had enough, and let Brazile have it over the sum of incitetful rhetoric spewed by the Left.  It bears noting that the second Trump shooter literally tweeted “Democracy is on the ballot”, a common talking point that still gets repeated. Neither Trump the Younger nor Priebus are wrong.  The left is regurgitating violent rhetoric, with help from their allies in the Regime Media. The fact is that they're not as mad about the rhetoric as they are about getting called out over it.
