ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, a lifelong Democrat who worked in the Clinton administration, threw a fit during an interview over the weekend that former President Donald Trump and one of his sons blamed Democrats for the assassination attempts on the former president.
Stephanopoulos had the meltdown during an interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-CA) when asked about the recent remarks.
The man who shot Trump in the ear during an attempted assassination in July had previously donated to a far-left cause while another man who was arrested for an attempted assassination in September had a history of donating to Democrats dozens of times.
“Is it right for the president and his family to suggest that Democrats are behind the effort to assassinate him?” Stephanopoulos asked.
Johnson responded: “I don’t think they’re saying that Democrat Party tried an
assassination attempt.”
“I think what they’re alluding to is what we’ve all been saying,” he continued. “They have got to turn the rhetoric down. For years now the leading Democrats in this country, the highest elected officials and the current nominee for president have gone out and said that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. That the republic will end if he’s re-elected.”
“It’s absolute nonsense,” he continued. “And they have incited dangerous
people to do dangerous things. The rhetoric has. I think that is a fact that’s objective that everybody can agree to. We do need to turn the volume down.”
Stephanopoulos became incensed that Johnson blamed the extreme rhetoric of the Democratic Party for the shootings and demanded to know if Johnson supported the remarks from the Trump family.
“What they’re referring to is the absolute open attacks that have been engaged by Democrats against President Trump since the day he came down that golden escalator in 2016, OK?” Johnson said. “The lawfare is unprecedented.
They have attacked him in every single way. They try to malign his character every single day. And the people have had enough of it. That’s why you have these massive turnouts at the rallies. People have had enough of this.”
Stephanopoulos then accused Johnson of “repeating the charge” and again demanded to know if Johnson supported the statement.
“George, I’m not going to parse the language what people say at rallies,”
Johnson said. “I could give you pages and pages of crazy comments by the leading Democrats in this country. That’s not what this is about. We have to
talk about the greatest collection of challenges that this country is facing probably since World War II, maybe the Civil War.”
Stephanopoulos continued to harp on the issue for another few minutes before he eventually changed the subject.

 people in the country is so vital to them that they can't bear to see
it challenged by anyone. Everyone who is a Republican or supports
Republicans is Evil or Stupid; anyone who is undecided is a child
needing their benevolent guidance to the Truth of the Democratic Party.

I'm quite prepared to believe Trump's would be assassins vot > Democrat in 2020 and/or 2022 - saying the Democratic National
Committee of the Democrats discussed and committed to assassination
attempts is totally a different matter.
It's a far cry from Princip's assassination of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand of 1914 where Princep was part of an organization dedicated
to the violent overthrow of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy for the
benefit of the Serbs.
And if Trump says anything on this subject he had BETTER be talking
the first not the second because the second proposition is a horse of
an entirely different color.
