Former CNN political analyst Chris Cilizza is jumping down the throats of the Democrats, press, and RINOs who are downplaying the assassination attempts against President Trump’s life. Most of the Democrats are trying to blame Trump’s rhetoric for the attempts on his life, but that is ridiculous. If he were inspiring violence, it would be attacks on Democrats, but that is not the case. It is the rhetoric coming from the Democrats that is leading to violence.
Now, you tell me if you think the crap coming out of the mouths of the Democrats is much more likely the cause of the violence against Trump. There is not a single doubt in my mind that Democrats are stirring up their mentally challenged base to threaten President Trump’s life.
The first attempt on Trump’s life occurred on July 13th of this year in a case of total incompetence or outright criminal behavior by the Secret Service. The second attempt happened just last Sunday. Both attempted assassins were Democratic donors who toed the party line. Why would they be triggered to commit murder?

Cillizza said:
“I think it is so stupid and counterproductive to spend time trying to downplay the fact that … two times there have been people trying to kill him over the last 90 days. We are not a country in which political violence can be condoned. And just because Donald Trump helped incite Jan. 6 does not make two wrongs equal a right, right? We need to be better than that — not the same or worse. It is a bad thing that twice in 90 days the nominee of one of the two major parties was the victim or the focus of an attempted assassination, period.”
“Political violence is wrong, period, whether it’s against Donald Trump or anyone else. And yes, the attempt at political violence, even if this guy on Sunday didn’t fire any shots is wrong, period. I just think there is so much as it comes to Donald Trump that is legitimate for criticism, for dislike and for a vote against that when you spend your time mired in these waters, you are doing a disservice, not just to yourself but to who we are as a people and to our democracy. So just stop doing it. Leave it be … You beat him at the ballot box, you don’t beat him by violence or the threat of violence.”
Trump was shot in his right ear during a July 13 assassination attempt during his rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania, that left former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore dead. Some claimed following the assassination attempt that Trump got struck by glass fragments rather than a bullet, but the FBI clarified in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation that it was a bullet that hit the former president.
Cillizza said people questioning whether Trump was shot “are bringing ourselves down, way down, to a place that we don’t want to be as a nation.”
The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, who was arrested Sunday in connection with the second assassination attempt, appears to have previously donated to Democrats while living in Hawaii, according to federal campaign finance records.
