Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris for “highly inflammatory language” he said inspired an alleged weekend assassination attempt at his Florida golf club, as the Republican nominee moved quickly to capitalize politically on the incident. #trump #harris #biden #shooting #politics
The would-be gunman “believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News Digital. “Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country — both from the inside and out.”
Trump did not provide evidence for his claims, but the remarks emphasized how the Republican nominee planned to seize on the latest dramatic turn in one of the most chaotic presidential campaigns in modern political history. The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
