Democratic Representative Mikie Sherrill attributes the recent assassination attempt against former President Trump to a confluence of Republican misinformation, fear-mongering, and easy access to assault rifles.
Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., said on Monday how the second assassination attempt against former President Trump was a 'confluence' of Republican 'misinformation' and 'fear-mongering' alongside the 'complete availability of assault rifles .' Sherrill spoke to CNN’s Jim Acosta one day after Secret Service agents successfully thwarted the assassination attempt at Trump International Golf Club, opening fire on the suspect who was later taken into custody.
So how did this man, who already had some convictions for barricading himself with a weapon, have access to weapons of war that I was trained on when I was in the military?' Merrill asked. Acosta later referenced a since-deleted post from X CEO Elon Musk asking, 'Why they want to kill Donald Trump?' and remarking, 'And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala.' He asked Sherrill whether Musk could be in 'legal jeopardy' from his post.
