Trump Blames Biden, Harris for Second Assassination Attempt, Demands Accountability

Former President Trump has accused President Biden and Vice President Harris of inciting violence that led to a second assassination attempt against him. Trump says the Democrats' rhetoric has created an atmosphere of fear and hostility that emboldened the gunman.

Former President Donald Trump has unleashed a scathing attack on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing them of fueling the rhetoric that led to a second assassination attempt against him.

Speaking exclusively to Fox News Digital, Trump asserted that the gunman who allegedly targeted him at a golf course in Florida was motivated by the "highly inflammatory language" of the Biden-Harris administration.

"They [the gunman] believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and they acted on it," Trump said. "Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at."

Trump cited previous comments by Biden and Harris that depicted him as a "threat to democracy" and claimed they were leaders of "unity."

"They are the opposite," Trump said. "These are people that want to destroy our country."

Democrats have pushed back strongly against Trump's allegations. They contend that Trump himself has heightened tensions with his inflammatory rhetoric and that he is attempting to deflect blame for the second assassination attempt.

"The suspect in this case has a history of violence and mental illness," said Democratic Party spokesperson Seth Bringman. "To blame President Biden and Vice President Harris is simply irresponsible and does nothing to address the root causes of gun violence in this country."

The latest assassination attempt comes just months after Trump was shot in the ear at a Pennsylvania rally. The gunman in that incident killed one person and wounded others before being fatally shot by police.

Trump has continued to hold rallies and public appearances since the first attempt on his life. However, security measures have been significantly ramped up, and he has been advised to exercise greater caution.

Trump has called on law enforcement to hold the alleged gunman responsible and to investigate the role that Biden and Harris' rhetoric may have played in the assassination attempt.

"Accountability is the key," Trump said. "We need to send a strong message that this kind of violence will not be tolerated."

Trump's supporters have rallied behind him, expressing outrage at the second assassination attempt and demanding that the perpetrators be brought to justice.

"This is an attack on our democracy," said Trump supporter Johnathan Thompson. "We cannot allow those who seek to silence dissenting voices to prevail."

The assassination attempts against Trump have sparked concerns about the increasingly polarized political climate in the United States. Experts fear that the rhetoric from both sides of the political spectrum could lead to further violence.

"We need to tone down the rhetoric and focus on finding common ground," said political scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez. "If we don't, we risk further escalating tensions and creating a dangerous environment."

In light of the assassination attempts, there has been a renewed focus on security for high-profile political figures. The Secret Service has increased its protective measures for Trump and other potential targets.

"The threat to our leaders is real," said Secret Service Director James Murray. "We are committed to providing the highest level of protection possible."

The investigation into the second assassination attempt against Trump is ongoing. Authorities are seeking to establish a motive for the attack and determine if there are any connections to other individuals or groups.

The aftermath of the assassination attempts has raised important questions about the political climate in the United States and the need for accountability and security in the face of rising tensions.
