Former President Donald Trump on Monday continued to try to blame Vice President Kamala Harris’ rhetoric for the apparent assassination attempt at his golf club on Sunday. In a new post on social media, the former president pointed to Harris’ statements during the ABC presidential debate, without specifying which ones.
Trump alleged, “The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris during the rigged and highly partisan ABC Debate, and all of the ridiculous lawsuits specifically designed to inflict damage on Joe’s, then Kamala’s, Political Opponent, ME, has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust. Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump has repeatedly claimed the debate last week was “rigged” against him and has criticized the debate moderators, stating he will not participate in another debate before the election. He also continues to baselessly assert that the criminal charges he faces and his felony conviction were orchestrated by President Joe Biden and Harris due to his presidential candidacy.
In his first interview after the apparent assassination attempt in West Palm Beach posted earlier on Monday, Trump also sought to blame Biden and Harris for the incident and argued that “their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at” and labeled them as “the real threat.”
