GOP Rep Demands Harris Take Down Project 2025 Ads After Trump Assassination Bid
GOP Rep. Byron Donalds tried to claim Monday that Democrats’ messaging against Project 2025, the controversial blueprint for a second Trump term penned by a consortium of conservative organizations, is somehow to blame for a pair of recent assassination attempts on the former president.
On Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, the Florida congressman framed the issue as Democrats inciting violence by merely campaigning against Trump’s right-wing agenda—a narrative that others have taken up since Sunday.
“Obviously, the story today is this is the reason why you have crazies from the left who are now attempting to assassinate him,” Donalds told host Laura Ingraham after she played a clip of former Clinton White House aide Keith Boykin saying on CNN that Trump “projects the idea of protecting white supremacy” and noting that a majority of white people support him while most minorities don’t.
