Former President Donald Trump's campaign insisted that rhetoric from Democrats recently was 'dangerous' and 'directly to blame' for the environment that led to two assassination attempts on Trump's life.
After Vice President Kamala Harris compared former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler from the steps of her home yesterday at the U.S. Naval Observatory, Trump's campaign said that such rhetoric is 'dangerous' and 'directly to blame' for the kind of climate that led to two assassination attempts on his life. 'She continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics,' Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said.
South Carolina's Rep. James Clyburn, the former number two ranking Democrat in the House, said following the shooting of Giffords, 'We're living in a time that all of us should begin to take stock of how our words affect people, especially those who aren't very stable.
The University of Michigan conducted research following the Giffords shooting on how charged political messaging can inflame violent attitudes, particularly among those predisposed to be aggressive in daily life. 'The results presented here clearly refute the claim that violent political rhetoric is without negative consequences,' a Michigan political science researcher said at the time.
