Scalise directly blaming Prez Biden and the Orange tool saying on truth social 'they tried to take me out'....this is their first rodeo when it comes to this sequence of events and I'm pretty confident freaking out and blaming Joe ain't the way to go. Makes them look like the unhinged ass clowns that they are. No self control or self awareness. In other words...anything but Presidential.

prominent Republicans began accusing President Biden and Democrats of causing the attack due to their anti-Trump rhetoricand, in doing so, issued threats of their own. All of that is despite the fact that no information has been released on the shooters identity as of Saturday eveningwhich even Trump acknowledged in his first statement after the shooting.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) claimed in a post on X that the local district attorney should immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination; in another post, he claimed, Joe Biden sent the orders, responding to a statement Biden allegedly made earlier this week that its time to put Trump in a bullseye.

My prediction is they will overplay their hand. We are already seeing tacky merchandise. They will once again remind everyone that they are not serious people. Trump himself will probably become even more unhinged.
As Ive said elsewhere, Im glad Trump is ok. He is still a bad person.
