Vance Blames Everyone But GOP for Political Violence
JD Vance blamed just about everybody except Republicans on Tuesday for stoking rhetoric he said caused a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
“It’s time to say to the Democrats, to the media, to everybody who’s been attacking this man and trying to censor this man for going on 10 years now: Cut it out or you’re going to get somebody killed,” the vice presidential aspirant said in Michigan, accusing the media and supporters of Kamala Harris of putting a “giant target on Donald Trump’s back.”
Vance echoed sentiments expressed by Trump a day earlier. In spite of Trump’s repeated threats of retaliation against his political enemies—even inviting violence against journalists—a second possible attempt on Trump’s life has given Trump and Vance a whole new line of attack on the campaign trail.
