Kamala Harris’ Response to Trump Assassination Attempt Gets Met with Avalanche of Backlash
The content discusses Vice President Kamala Harris’s response to a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Following the incident, Harris expressed relief over Trump’s safety on social media, stating that “violence has no place in America.” However, her message drew criticism for seeming disingenuous, given her past inflammatory rhetoric towards Trump, which some argue has contributed to a divisive political climate.
Critics highlighted her remarks regarding Trump, including labeling him a “threat to democracy” and comparing him to a dictator and a Nazi. They pointed out the irony of her statement on violence, suggesting that her language could incite hostility towards Trump. Some social media users called for Harris to step down from her position due to her perceived role in inciting violence against political opponents.
The article concludes by asserting that Harris’s rhetoric has polarized the nation and facilitated a culture of violence, implying that her comments are part of a broader, troubling trend in political discourse. The piece reflects on the current state of political attacks and suggests that the Democratic Party may feel compelled to continue this strategy leading up to the 2024 presidential election.
Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris made a statement on X in the aftermath of the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life. It seemed synonymous with the words, “I have to do this for appearance-sake, but I really don’t care.”
The second part of that statement could have been, “I’m innocent.” No, she didn’t pull the trigger, but her words and deeds before Sunday clearly fueled Ryan Routh’s attempt.
“I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America,” she posted Sunday.

Harris is right to say that violence has no place in America. But it’s ironic coming from her when her campaign is focused solely on attacking Trump as a “threat to democracy.” And after the July 13 assassination attempt, you would think she would take care to tone down the rhetoric.
She is a force of violence against her opponent, and many took to social media to point this out.
One used posted a video of Harris speaking to Ellen DeGeneres. When asked who she would rather be stuck in an elevator with — Donald Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions — Harris asked if one of them had to be alive by the end of it.

She thinks she’s funny. Her carelessness for the lives of her opponents speaks to the same carelessness she will employ for every American citizen if she somehow wins the 2024 presidential election.
Others pointed out her choice of words when describing Trump: “threat to democracy,” “day 1 dictator,” and “Nazi”
You called him a threat to democracy and a day 1 dictator. You own this.

You call him a Nazi every day.

“Kamala Harris and her violent rhetoric are to blame. She needs to drop out,” another user claimed.

Senior Editor at The Post Millennial, Andy Ngo, couldn’t have been more right in his assessment of Harris’ influence on Routh and all Trump haters: “Why would you be glad he’s ‘safe’ when you have repeatedly called him an existential threat to democracy and that he is like Hitler? Don’t you want someone like that to be killed?”

Yes, she owns this second attempt just as she owned the first. She and her party have polarized our nation through a steady diet of divisiveness, fear, economic strangulation, and violence.
The state of the nation has become so bad that it can’t be overlooked by Democratic and independent voters. Thus, the only way for Democrats to win the election is to attack Trump at every turn and deny accountability if any violence against him occurs.
Harris is at the center of this. We all see you, Harris.
