In the Tom Woods Letter, Tom Woods calls out Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for their near silence on the second attempted assassination of Donald Trump. He writes:
It’s hard to know exactly what the most bizarre or disturbing aspect of the second attempt on Donald Trump’s life in a matter of two months is, but certainly in the running are the blasé responses of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Bear in mind that this is the second time Trump has been shot at. (I might add that had Harris been the intended victim, we’d still be hearing about how “white supremacy” and “racism” had created the conditions for such a thing. But when it’s Trump? Meh.)
Here’s Harris:
“I have been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida, and I am glad he is safe. Violence has no place in America.”
Here’s Walz:
“Gwen and I are glad to hear that Donald Trump is safe. Violence has no place in our country. It’s not who we are as a nation.”
Guys, the man has been shot at twice in two months. This has never happened to any political candidate in American history. And all you can summon are these anodyne remarks about violence being bad?
You’d almost think two assassination attempts in two months wasn’t all that unusual. Hey, sorry you were shot at again! Just one of those things, I guess. See you on the campaign trail!
The would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, appears to be a deranged Ukraine partisan. That’s an issue in itself.
To be sure, it’s hard for them to reconcile their Trump-is-Hitler rhetoric with “I’m sorry someone tried to shoot him.”
