Donald Trump has blamed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for last month’s failed assassination attempt against him by accusing them of making it difficult for the Secret Service to protect him.
The Republican presidential nominee’s claim – for which he offered no evidence – was made on the television talkshow Dr Phil, hosted by Phil McGraw, on Tuesday. The remarks follow disclosures that several Secret Service agents from the Pittsburgh field office had been placed on administrative leave after the 13 July shooting.
At a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month, Trump was grazed on the ear by a bullet after a 20-year-old gunman opened fire from the roof of a nearby building. One rallygoer, Corey Comperatore, was killed and two others were seriously wounded. The gunman was shot dead by a Secret Service officer at the scene.
“When this happened, people would ask, whose fault is it?” Trump told McGraw. “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. They were weaponising government against me, they brought in the whole DoJ to try and get me, they weren’t too interested in my health and safety.
oh it absolutely is debated in good faith, unless you have pretty stout evidence that this guy was a neo nazi or something i’m content with him just being an “extremist” instead of a “right wing extremist” you might argue it’s “right wing, extremist” but no
yeah but that doesn’t make him a right wing extremist. That makes him a right winger, and an extremist.
You can be political extreme, and politically moderate, you can politically extreme, and socially moderate. He was politically moderate, and socially extreme.
What’s not in good faith? Did any reputable news source call him an outright ring wing extremist?
He was a confirmed conservative Republican voter, so right-wibg on any account. And him trying to assassinate the president makes him extreme.
So he is a right wing extremist. Doesn’t matter what the media calls him. Fox News calls Trump Mr President when he clearly lost.
