Former President Donald J. Trump was targeted in an assassination attempt at his golf club in Florida and MSNBC suggested it was his own fault that it happened.
On Sunday afternoon, Secret Service agents intervened to disrupt another potential effort to prevent the Republican nominee from getting to Election Day when they fired at the gunman at Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach, causing the suspect to flee the premises, he was later taken into custody on I-95.
As the news was breaking in what the FBI was already investigating as an assassination attempt, the left-wing news network that’s whipped up leftists with their likening of Trump to Hitler among other lies and hatemongering, blamed the victim for not dialing down HIS rhetoric.

During their coverage of the incident on “Alex Witt Reports” the host and political analyst Elise Jordan gaslighted viewers that the former president is the one responsible for the dangerous climate that now exists in the country as a result of media demonization of Trump and stirring the pot for years.
“How have we gotten to this point?” Jordan asked. “When the you know, the demonization of the other side where we simply, you know it’s no longer politics, it’s gotten you know bigger than that, the you know the calls for violence, the violence you know rhetoric that you know then you look at what happens and you know this heated rhetoric can only go so far before, unfortunately, it you know, it has led to violence on both sides of the aisle and so I think it is something that Democrats and Republicans have to be very cognizant about, what can we all do to take the temperature down.”
“Do you expect there to be calls from within the Trump campaign to do that? Because he’s gonna reach out to his supporters and say let’s take this down?” Witt then asked, again blaming Trump for being targeted, acknowledging that the details were still unknown, but asking Jordan if she expects to “hear anything from the Trump campaign about toning down the rhetoric? Toning down the violence? Or would that be atypical of the former president?”
“Remember back to the assassination attempt on President Trump’s life, where there was talk of a new tone and the Republican convention was, by Trumpian standards, muted. It did seem like he was trying to take it down a few notches, then by the end of the convention speech, we were kind of back to where we started,” Jordan said.

All they have to do is look in the mirror.
Their lies, exaggerations, and slander are to blame for this.

The Legacy Media is to blame for the narrative they have created about Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans as a existential threat to this country.

It wasn’t just MSNBC. Parent network NBC News anchor Lester Holt suggested that Trump’s debate remarks about Haitian migrants possibly eating cats in Springfield, OH may have been a factor.
See how this works everyone?
Trump almost gets shot AGAIN and the press connects it to the fact Haitians are eating people’s pets, and Trump bothered to notice.
Lester Holt is saying Trump deserved to die. That’s what this is. pic.twitter.com/7NC40wXCj3
