The threats to Donald Trump’s life should be unequivocally denounced. But the Left did away with decency long ago.
And now Democrats just made a disgusting announcement about Trump’s assassination attempts.
The Trump campaign didn’t hold back in calling out the latest attack from “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), after its season premiere took an alarming jab at former President Trump with a skit referencing assassination attempts against him.
Once again, the liberal media is showcasing its reckless disregard for the safety and dignity of conservatives.
James Austin Johnson played Trump in the skit’s cold open, referencing a real-life assassination attempt from July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, as he mocked Trump at one of his iconic rallies.
Johnson, doing his best to mockingly impersonate Trump, said, “Where the hell is everyone going? Where are you going? I see you trying to leave, but the doors are locked. Come on back — we’re having fun. We love my rallies, except when someone does the ‘bing, bong, bing, bing, bing’ right at me. You know that happened because of the rhetoric of the radical left? They say that me blaming the Democrats for inciting violence is the pot calling the kettle black.”
The Trump campaign swiftly responded on social media, posting: “There were two assassination attempts against President Trump within a span of seven weeks. @nbcsnl apparently finds that funny. Disgusting.”
And that’s exactly what it is – disgusting. The left-wing entertainment industry now stoops so low as to joke about attempts on the life of a former president who continues to fight for the American people.
The show didn’t stop there, doubling down with their tasteless humor during the “Weekend Update” segment.
Colin Jost, who seems to revel in taking cheap shots at conservatives, made a smug remark after showing a clip of Trump discussing his superior physical condition compared to President Biden.
“I’m starting to worry that bullet got a little more than just the ear,” Jost quipped.
He didn’t let up, even dragging former first lady Melania Trump into the fray, referencing her recent interview.
“Speaking of, Melania Trump gave a rare TV interview this week in which she blamed Democrats for creating conditions that led to Trump’s assassination attempts, which is ridiculous. When Democrats want to take out a presidential candidate, they get the job done,”
Jost added, showing just how far the left is willing to go with their dangerous rhetoric.
Let’s not forget the grim reality.
Trump barely survived an assassination attempt in July at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A bullet grazed his ear, and the shooter tragically killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a respected husband, father, and former fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department.
Two other rally-goers were critically wounded by the same gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks.
And then, on September 15, Trump faced another assassination threat while golfing in Florida.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested after allegedly pushing the muzzle of an AK-47 through a chainlink fence near the golf course.
Fortunately, Secret Service agents intervened, and Routh was arrested later in Martin County after fleeing the scene.
