President Trump warned Thursday that people on the right will get fed up with left-wing political violence that has horrified the nation, and could start to respond violently.

When asked who is responsible for Wednesday’s shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Dallas, Mr. Trump responded, “radical left rhetoric.”

“Not the right, the radical left. It’s going to get worse and ultimately it’s going to go back on them,” Mr. Trump said. “Bad things happen when they play these games and I’ll give you a little clue: The right is a lot tougher than the left.”

“The right is not doing this, and [the left] better not energize them because it won’t be good for the left and I don’t want to see that happen either. I’m the president for all the people,” Mr. Trump said. “It will get to a point where other people won’t take it anymore and that won’t be good for the radical left.”

The shooting at the ICE facility has renewed concerns about political violence in America. Joshua Jahn, who killed one person and injured two others in the attack, engraved anti-ICE messages on bullets, according to the FBI.

Authorities have not yet revealed a motive in the attack, but the Trump administration quickly ascribed a political message to the shooting.

The attack came two weeks after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at a college campus in Utah.
