Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance — one of Trump’s top picks for vice president — pointed out the fact that the media’s and the Democrat’s rhetoric that Trump is Hitler led directly to this assassination attempt. And he’s right.
“Today is not just some isolated incident,” Vance wrote.
“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination,” he added.
