The publication noted that Trump did not provide evidence for his claims, stressing that the former president probably "plans to take advantage of the latest dramatic turn in one of the most chaotic presidential campaigns in modern political history."
In addition, Trump accused Democrats of portraying him as a "threat to democracy," saying that the "real threat" is Harris and Biden.
They do this through a combination of rhetoric and lawsuits that they wrap me in. This is the kind of stuff that dangerous fools like that gunman listen to.
An attempt on Trump: the reaction of politicians
Vice President Kamala Harris said she was "concerned" and condemned the "political violence" following the alleged assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on September 15.
I am deeply alarmed by the possible assassination attempt on former President Trump. While the facts are being gathered, I state clearly: political violence is unacceptable. We must all work to ensure that this incident does not provoke further violence.
