As RedState reported, another attempt on Donald Trump’s life occurred on Sunday, this time at his golf course in Florida. Shots were fired after the Secret Service spotted the would-be assassin in a treeline and he was taken into custody.
Information was released nearly immediately, revealing Ryan Wesley Routh as the culprit. His background shows dozens of donations to far-left Democrats and a penchant for posting that “democracy is on the ballot,” a favorite rant of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Given the gravity of the situation, some introspection on the left was warranted. Instead, the equivocations and outright blaming of Trump came fast and hard. One exchange on MSNBC called the attempted assassination “exceptionally unfortunate” not because the former president was nearly killed again, but because it might help him politically.
That was just a warm-up, though. Given the shooter’s obsession with supporting Ukraine, it was just a matter of time before the most Ukraine-centric political hacks among us chimed in. On that front, Adam Kinzinger decided to lock replies and post that it was Trump’s fault Routh tried to kill him.
There’s no sugar-coating it. Hours after another attempted assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Kinzinger decided to wink and nod at his crazed followers that everything would be fine if the former president went away. That is the kind of rhetoric that has led us to this point. The idea that commenting on what is happening in Springfield, OH, is somehow an excuse for political violence is insane.
Alexander Vindman and his crazed wife weren’t any more diplomatic in their responses.
That is one sick family. There has never been a politician I’ve disliked enough to wish death on them. Yeah, I think Joe Biden is a bad president. No, I don’t want him to be hurt. Someone who stoops to that level has serious mental issues and shouldn’t be trusted to offer commentary on anything. Remember, the mainstream press lionized the Vindmans as selfless heroes. They told you these were the best America had to offer. Does any of the above read like anything other than derangement?
But understand, these people don’t care about lowering the temperature or returning civility to politics. Their equivocations and deflections serve only their pursuit of power. If Trump being killed helps them, they are fine with that. I know that’s a pointed, perhaps controversial thing to say, but why should I assume any differently given their own words?
