In a press release Monday, the Trump-Vance Campaign declared that the Democrats’ hateful rhetoric was to blame for the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life.

On Sunday,  Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, a Biden-Harris supporter, Democrat donor and pro-Ukraine activist with an extensive criminal background attempted to shoot Trump through a fence at his International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

After Trump’s Secret Service detail fired at Routh, he took off in a black Nissan, leaving his backpack, GoPro camera and AK-47 style rifle behind. He was quickly apprehended speeding away on I-95.
“Make no mistake, this psycho was egged on by the rhetoric and lies that have flowed from Kamala Harris, Democrats, and their Fake News allies for years,” the Trump Campaign s

aid in the press release.

On social media, Routh appeared to have been influenced by the Biden-Harris regime’s incessant messaging about Trump being a “threat to Democracy.”

“Your campaign should be called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic and free,” he posted on X in April. “Trumps should be MASA …make Americans slaves again master. DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose. We cannot afford to fail. The world is counting on us to show the way.”

In a 2003 self-published book, Routh described the former president as a “fool” and “buffoon” because of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot and the “tremendous blunder” of leaving the Iran nuclear deal.

“You are free to assassinate Trump,” Routh wrote in his book, “Ukraine’s Unwinnable War.”

Team Trump provided dozens of examples of Democrats and media personalities using “increasingly incendiary rhetoric” against the Republican presidential nominee.

The press release went on to note that the “commentary from Democrats and the Fake News in the aftermath of the latest assassination attempt has been even worse.”

Rachel Vindman has since deleted her post on X, calling it “flippant” of political violence.

Rachel Vindman is the wife of retired Lt. Col.  Alexander Vindman, the left-wing “star witness” in the Democrats’ 2019 impeachment farce against President Trump over his phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenksy.

Team Trump called on Democrats and their allies in the media to “immediately cease their inflammatory, violent rhetoric against President Trump.”

In a statement posted on social media following Sunday’s close call, Trump said: “Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!”
