Former President Donald Trump and the Republican candidate for the 2024 U.S. presidential election claims that the recent assassination attempt on his life was influenced by the highly inflammatory rhetoric of current President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Tarz Press - On Monday, September 16, Trump spoke to Fox News, describing Biden and Harris's remarks as "highly inflammatory." He stated that the would-be assassin "believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it." Trump further added in the interview, "Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at."
To substantiate his claims, Trump referred to recent comments by Biden and Harris where they described him as “a threat to democracy”. He criticized his rivals for using “highly inflammatory language” but noted that while he could use similar language—"far better than they can"—he prefers not to.
