GOP Sens. Ron Johnson, J.D. Vance, Tim Scott tried to blame Democrats and the media for rhetoric they claim without evidence led to the Trump shooting.
Not long after the attempt to assassinate former president Donald Trump, Republicans began to blame the Democrats; the media; diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts; and critical race theory as responsible for the shooting, even though law enforcement thus far has not shared information about the shooter’s motivations.
Twenty-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, a registered Republican who once gave $15 to a progressive anti-Trump political action committee, opened fire at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” the Ohio senator wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Another GOP politician on Trump’s shortlist for VP, Sen. Tim Scott, on Saturday baselessly claimed that the “radical left” and the media “aided and abetted” in the shooting.
“This was an assassination attempt aided and abetted by the radical Left and corporate media incessantly calling Trump a threat to democracy, fascists, or worse,” Scott wrote on X.
Johnson wrote on X that the House will “conduct a full investigation of the tragic events today,” including seeking testimony from Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle “and other appropriate officials from [the Department of Homeland Security] and the FBI.”
