Rubio calls out Democrats for ‘clearly’ influencing second would-be Trump assassin with incendiary rhetoric

Trump, meanwhile, placed the blame on such allegedly incendiary rhetoric, telling Fox News Digital, „He [the suspect] believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it.”

Routh’s apparent attempt on Trump’s life marks the second time the former president has experienced such threats in a two-month span, the first taking place when gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July.
