Another assassination attempt on Donald Trump has sparked outrage and concern, not least because this is the second time in just over two months that someone has taken a shot—quite literally—at the former president. It seems that while Democrats continue to push their incendiary rhetoric, they may inadvertently be creating the very atmosphere ripe for these violent threats. Just on the same day of the latest attempt, Rep. Jasmine Crockett from Texas took to the left-leaning airwaves of MSNBC, branding MAGA supporters as domestic threats. One wonders if there’s any correlation between such statements and the recent uptick in hostility toward Trump.
Crockett’s appearance on “Inside with Jen Psaki” showcased her unmistakable contempt for Trump supporters. She extended her finger to point at the MAGA crowd as threats to the safety of the nation, while simultaneously proclaiming Kamala Harris as the only qualified individual to lead. It’s quite a jarring juxtaposition—claiming to protect democracy while proclaiming half the country as a threat. Ironically, this narrative comes just hours before the former president faced a life-threatening encounter. It’s as though the Democrats are playing with fire and are shocked when someone gets burned.
The Trump campaign was quick to respond, laying out an elaborate case demonstrating how Democrats’ rhetoric—filled with gaslighting and inflammatory statements—inspired the recent acts of violence. It seems the campaign cataloged every incendiary remark made by leftist politicians to establish a direct line between the words used on air and the life-threatening attempts made off it. One has to question the sanity of a party that emboldens such accusations while downplaying the consequences in public safety.
In a twist of irony, while Crockett expressed her disapproval of political violence later that evening—accompanied by a USA Today article—no equivalent statement came from her political account after the assassination attempt. Instead, the sight of her reposting Psaki’s show only served to fan the flames of skepticism toward her sincerity. Critics on social media were not shy in pointing out the hypocrisy, reminding us all that political violence cannot be selectively condemned.
Here Are the Chilling Remarks Jasmine Crockett Made Hours Before Assassination Attempt Against Trump https://t.co/FTGvqTVyU3

The situation only deepened after the first attempt at Trump’s life in July, when Crockett had the audacity to support legislation that would strip the ex-presidents of their Secret Service protection. This “Denying Infinite Security” bill, designed to deny Trump protection, speaks volumes of her intentions toward those she seems to vilify. With Democratic leaders more occupied with Twitter clout than actual governance, it’s no surprise that the safety of the former president is now a pivotal talking point among Republicans who are demanding robust protective measures.
Republican Senators Tommy Tuberville and Roger Marshall recently held a press conference urging the necessity of greater security for Trump. The clarity of their message cut through the Democrat fog of misdirection, spotlighting how a serious issue has been trivialized by rhetoric. As calls for enhanced security resonate, it becomes more apparent that the left’s incendiary discourse may be the real threat to democracy—not the MAGA supporters they so eagerly malign. After all, ensuring the safety of all citizens, especially a former president, should not come at the cost of political gamesmanship.
