Leftist Assassins Targeted House Republicans, a Conservative Justice and Now a President
by Daniel Greenfield

[FrontPage] “Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation,” Joe Biden tweeted. “He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”

Yesterday he declared, “most importantly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Trump is a threat to this nation.”

This kind of rhetoric depicting Trump as the ultimate threat had become normalized. Is it any wonder that it was also acted on?

There’s a pattern here.

A Bernie Sanders supporter opened fire at a Congressional baseball game and brought along a list of House Freedom Caucus members. The FBI falsely claimed that he wasn’t targeting anyone.

Justice Kavanaugh was the subject of an assassination plot by a deranged leftist.

And now a gunman opened fire at a Trump rally, wounding President Trump, killing one attendee and wounding others.

Despite that pattern, the media repeatedly claimed that the violence was coming from conservatives, and the Biden administration, his secret service brass, and Democrats colluded to deny Trump full security and protection.

Even now the media is warning that the real threat will come from a conservative reaction to the attempted assassination.

The danger to this country is coming from the Left.

The violence is coming from the Left.

And the coverup of that violence and the criminalization of conservatives is also coming from the Left.

The Left pulls the trigger and then blames those who were shot for the violence.

Yes, we know how desperate the Democrats are. But if you miss the first shot it's gonna be a lot harder to get a hit with any subsequent shots. The element of surprise is gone.

#5 Abu, you ignoring the actual process. They don't send a trained agent. They create an appeal to a certain type of personality. Once the appeal has been created, they have no further control.

#9 I have had normally kind, rational people, whom I have known for 50 years, tell me Trump deserved it, and so did anyone there supporting him.
