Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sparked outrage online over her response to the second attempt on former President Donald Trump\u2019s life in as many months.\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere never is a place for political violence of any kind in America. As the investigation into today\u2019s incident continues, let us commend law enforcement for their actions to keep the former President safe from harm,\u201d she wrote.\n\n\n\n
Online users and supporters of the former president immediately pounced, with most of them blaming her and fellow Democrats for using violent rhetoric against Trump, accusing him of being a \u201cthreat to democracy\u201d and \u201cdangerous\u201d to the country.\n\n\n\n
\u201cNancy, you and the democrats are responsible for this. Your obstruction during J6, your constant attacks against Trump, etc. Hypocrites,\u201d Valentina Gomez, a former GOP candidate for Missouri secretary of state, wrote, adding: \u201cThis wasn\u2019t an incident, this was an assassination attempt.\u201d\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat a Democrat did to Trump today was 100x worse than anything any Trump supporter did on January 6th. Yet you call J6 the worst day in American history and today\u2019s assassination attempt an \u2018incident\u2019 \u2013 Resign,\u201d conservative podcaster Benny Johnson\u00a0wrote.\n\n\n\n \u201cYou tore a President\u2019s speech [sic] up during his State of the Union speech live for the world to see. You are a large part of the violence against Trump,\u201d another user wrote.\n\n\n\n \u201cSame cookie cutter BS. Stop acting like you give a sh*t,\u201d another said.\n\n\n\n \u201cIt [was] an ass*ss*nation attempt. Shame on Nancy Pelosi for trying to minimize it,\u201d said another.\n\n\n\n Advertisement\n\n\n\n One more\u00a0wrote: \u201cYou are a pathetic human scum! You don\u2019t give a damn and you and your cult party are the ones inciting this violence every single day!!\n\n\n\n Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced on Sunday that state law enforcement agencies will investigate the assassination attempt that took place at his golf course on Sunday near his Mar-a-Lago estate.\n\n\n\n \u201cThe State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club. The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP nominee,\u201d DeSantis wrote on the X platform.\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, as Axios reported, the FBI is also investigating what it says \u201cappears to be an attempted assassination\u201d against the former president \u2014 the second since July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pa.\n\n\n\n During a briefing on Sunday, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw stated that former President Trump was approximately 300-500 yards away from the suspect when a Secret Service agent \u201cengaged\u201d with the individual, who was subsequently taken into custody. \u201cSecret Service did exactly what they should have done, and their agent did a fantastic job,\u201d he said during a press conference.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sparked outrage online over her response to the second attempt on former President Donald Trump\u2019s life in as many […]\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4599,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4598"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4598"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4600,"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4598\/revisions\/4600"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/runeecho.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
