Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) tore into Republicans as many of them blame the Democrats’ rhetoric for the second assassination attempt on former President Trump.
Trump was the target of an apparent assassination attempt while he was golfing at his resort in Florida on Sunday. No one was hurt, but Trump has since blamed Democrat rhetoric for the second attempt on his life in just two months.
CNN’s Jim Acosta on Monday asked Sherrill Monday whether the protection around the former president needs to change in the wake of the latest incident. She suggested that the attempted assassination stemmed from the GOP’s rhetoric and the availability of assault rifles in the country.

Yeah. His actions were unwise and influenced by the violent rhetoric of the far right, but he was right to feel betrayed. I want other trump cultists to come to those realizations, but instead of choosing violence to choose to stand up, speak to those still in, and try to help heal this country and bring it onto the right path.
