Eight Republican members of Congress have accused current US President Joe Biden of being responsible for the assassination attempt on his predecessor Donald Trump during an election rally in Pennsylvania.
Republican Senator for Ohio James David Vance wrote on the “x” platform: “The main message of the Biden campaign is that Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. This speech directly led to the assassination attempt on Trump.”
Representative and Trump supporter Wesley Hunt confirmed on the “X” platform that Biden’s speech led to political violence.
Congressman Mike Collins wrote on the “X” platform: “The Republican District Attorney for Butler County, Pennsylvania, should immediately file charges of incitement to murder against Biden.”
Republican Keith Self wrote on the X platform: “Every American should be outraged by the current president’s incitement to violence against Trump.
Congressmen Lauren Boebert, Marsha Blackburn, Nick LaLuta and Claudia Tenney also accused
Biden of being responsible for causing the assassination attempt on Trump.
Politico newspaper reported earlier, citing a recording of a leaked conversation, in which the US president said that it was time to stop talking about the debate and focus on Trump.
Trump was the target of an assassination attempt by shooting him while he was giving a speech during a campaign rally for his supporters in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Trump was shot in the ear, another person next to him was killed, and two others were injured, while Secret Service agents were able to eliminate the shooter.
