Now, you might think the following is crazy, and it is, but it is the slant that Clinton apparatchik George Stephanopoulos and Martha Raddatz are selling. Joe Biden’s vile language, painting the right as fascists, isn’t what drives people to shoot Donald Trump. It’s Donald Trump’s criticisms of Joe Biden regarding the lawfare that cause […] The post ABC ‘News’ – Trump’s Rhetoric Caused the Assassination Attempt appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Two of those critically injured during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania on Saturday are in stable condition, according to police. During the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet the FBI says was fired by 20-year old Thomas Matthew Crooks. One man, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore of Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed shielding his family from bullets. Two others were taken to the hospital to be treated following the attack.   In a news release, Pennsylvania State Police identified the injured victims as 57-year-old David Dutch, of New Kensington, and 74-year-old James Copenhaver, of Moon Township. According to police, they are in stable condition.  “These victims and their families are certainly in our thoughts today,” said Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Colonel Christopher Paris. “The Pennsylvania State Police continue to work tirelessly alongside our federal, state and local partners as this investigation continues.” Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro ordered all American and commonwealth flags to be lowered to half staff in honor of Comperatore, who was hailed as a hero. Comperatore, a firefighter, had two daughters and has been described as a pillar in his community.  Trump authorized a GoFundMe page be set up to aid victims of the assassination attempt.  “President Donald Trump has authorized this account as a place for donations to the supporters and families wounded or killed in today’s brutal and horrific assassination attempt,” the page says. “All donations will be directed to these proud Americans as they grieve and recover. May God bless and unite our nation.” In a Truth Social post Sunday morning, Trump said it was God who saved him during the attack and expressed his love for the victims.  “Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” he said.   “Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,” he added.

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said during an interview over the weekend that the Democratic Party had not asked its members to tone down their extremist rhetoric directed at former President Donald Trump or the Republican Party after Trump was shot on Saturday in an attempted assassination. Crow made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” when asked by host Margaret Brennan about terms that Democrats have used to attack Trump. “Democrats have referred to Donald Trump as a sociopath, as a narcissist,” she said, downplaying the true extent of the what Democrats say about Trump — whom they routinely compare to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and claim will destroy American democracy. “Do you think at this moment, all of that should stop?” she asked. “I think right now, on the heels of an attempted — what appears to be an attempted assassination attempt by all the evidence that we’re seeing right now, we all need to take a step back, we all need to take a breather,” he said. When asked whether Democratic leadership had conveyed that message to members, Crow responded: “They have not.” “We are on that precipice,” he said. “So leadership requires that we all step back. And we say enough is enough. We can’t do this. And this is my call to action, both to the American people, and to my colleagues, to the American people, right now: pick up the phone, walk out your door, go talk to your neighbor, go talk to your colleague, call your friends, who don’t agree with you and tell them, we can disagree. You’re not my enemy. You’re not evil. But this is our time to come together and to reach out to each other and to my colleagues. Let’s stop creating political moments. And let’s start creating political change. That is what we need now.” WATCH: We are “on that precipice” of violence spiraling “out of control,” says Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) in the wake of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. In a message to his colleagues, Crow says: “Let’s stop creating political moments and let’s start creating political… pic.twitter.com/aa05rHVfEP — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) July 14, 2024

Too Good to Check: Biden Staffers Threatening to Knock the Snot Out of Leakers

The Washington Post shamelessly jumped right into the “no evidence” game on Sunday when Republicans complained that all of the Left’s routinely extreme demonization of Donald Trump could inspire violence. Michael Scherer’s headline jumped right in: Trump allies immediately blame Biden, Democrats for their rhetoric Supporters argued that Democratic portrayals of Trump as a threat to democracy led to the violence, though the shooter’s motive was not apparent at the time of their remarks. This is how a paper proves they're a Democrat rag at the worst possible time. Let's guess that if Trump has been seriously wounded, the Post would have done this story just the same way. They can't acknowledge that this is a favorite leftist tactic, to connect conservative speech to violence...and then suggest the tactic cannot be reversed. The story began:  Top allies of Donald Trump quickly accused President Biden and his supporters of using rhetoric that led to a shooting and potential assassination attempt Saturday at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pa., even as Biden condemned the attack and called on the nation to unite against political violence. This elides the point that Biden’s entire campaign has incessantly called Trump a grave threat to democracy that must be neutralized. The Washington Post has aggressively fanned the authoritarian fascist flames. "Democracy Dies in Darkness" was all about Trump. They never seem to admit Biden's promise to unite the country may be the most insincere campaign promise of our time. After recounting complaints from Sens. J.D. Vance and Tim Scott, Scherer underlined "At the time of those statements, there was no public reporting on the motives of the shooter." The "no evidence" line was also later in the story: "Other Trump supporters were quick to blame Biden and the media for the shooting Saturday, despite a lack of information about the shooter’s motives." It's true that the motive was still unknown. It's also true that conservatives and Republicans have been waiting for years in dread that violence would happen to Trump, after all the demonization. Journalists like Jim Acosta constantly said Trump's "enemy of the people" talk was going to lead to violence. No one said "no evidence" to that. Acosta has never been assaulted any more than Jussie Smollett was.  The worst part of this story was Scherer once again :  Trump himself often uses inflammatory language, having taken office in 2021 by describing the state of the nation as “American carnage.” He has since called his political enemies “vermin,” described some undocumented migrants as “animals” and warned of a “bloodbath” if he fails to win in November. Earth to Scherer: we know that you know that "bloodbath" was a metaphor for economic destruction, and that the "animals" in question were murderous MS-13 gangsters. And when you call Trump "Hitler" after he says "vermin," who's morally superior?  The second worst part is recounting Biden's remarkable insincerity like it still matters:  Biden announced his 2020 campaign for the presidency by explaining he was motivated by the need to quell the division in the country and prevent the sort of deadly violence that had occurred at a 2017 white nationalist protest in Charlottesville. Biden has never seriously "quelled division" as president, and neither has The Washington Post. So maybe they could have shown a fraction of humility. But there's a campaign under way, and every day of spin is precious.
