The ‘By Any Means Necessary’ Party Escalated Tirades Against Trump to the Assassination Attempt
The left can’t help themselves because they must win by any means necessary
By Katy Grimes, July 14, 2024 9:22 am
While creatures of the Left have been parading themselves in front of like-minded media claiming a Trump presidency would end Democracy as we know it, usher in Fascism and take away women’s rights, their projection continued to escalate to dangerous levels of rhetoric. And for some, it isn’t just rhetoric.
Even President Joe Biden escalated his anti-Trump speech. In a call to donors last week, Biden said, “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
He actually said “In a bullseye.”
And then former President Donald Trump was wounded at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania while speaking on stage. A sniper shot at Trump Saturday night in a what clearly appears to be an assassination attempt. As Trump said afterwards, he “felt the bullet ripping through [his] skin,” and that it “pierced the upper part of my right ear.”
The whole world just witnessed what some on the left are willing to do. They’ve been saying it aloud since 2016, because they have nothing to run on – northing to offer the American people.
Immediately after the attempted assignation, NBC is intimated that campaign “rhetoric” [by Trump] is the problem.
The left has been accusing Trump supporters of being violent since 2016, as they ignored Antifa’s violent riots, as they ignored innocent people killed during the summer of riots, as they ignored the escalation of calls of harm to come to the former President.
I remember when Sarah Palin was savaged by leftist media and critics for supposedly drawning a link between the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), and the fact that the former Alaska governor put Giffords on a “target list”of lawmakers Palin wanted to see unseated in the midterm elections, CBS reported.
I also remember comedian Kathy Griffin holding the depiction of Trump’s bloody decapitated head in a photo.
More recently, Democrat Congressman Dan Goldman told Jen Psaki on MSNBC, “President Trump cannot see public office again . . . and he has to be eliminated.”
The Huffington Post announced, “Supreme Court Gives Joe Biden The Legal OK To Assassinate Donald Trump.”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC last week: “Trump is such an authoritarian and autocrat, we have to win this election. This is not a normal election … This is something that is undermining our democracy. He must be stopped. He cannot be president!”
Nutty Joy Reid compared Trump daily to Hitler in ranting hysterical videos she posted to X/Twitter.
The New Republic cover speaks volumes:
The left can’t help themselves because they must win by any means necessary.
The headlines of Trump’s assignation attempt by leftist media were shameless:
- Sacramento Bee: “Trump ‘fine’ after being rushed off stage in Pennsylvania after shots appeared to ring out”
- Washington Post: Trump escorted away after loud noises at Pa rally
- Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally
- CNN says loud bangs heard at rally at 4:11
Victor Davis Hanson compiled a list of “Leftist celebrities and entertainers joking (one hopes), dreaming, imagining, and just talking about the various and graphic ways they would like to assassinate or seriously injure Trump:
By slugging his face (Robert De Niro), by decapitation (Kathy Griffin, Marilyn Manson), by stabbing (Shakespeare in the Park), by clubbing (Mickey Rourke), by shooting (Snoop Dogg), by poisoning (Anthony Bourdain), by bounty killing (George Lopez), by carrion eating his corpse (Pearl Jam), by suffocating (Larry Whilmore), by blowing him up (Madonna, Moby), by throwing him over a cliff (Rosie O’Donnell), just by generic “killing” him (Johnny Depp, Big Sean), or by martyring him (Reid Hoffman: “Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr.”).”
And Saturday they almost got their wishes.
But it’s the irony that should be front and center: We already had four years of Trump as President, and we all know that he is nothing like Hitler. The left wanted their power back so badly, they orchestrated the Biden Presidency – by any means necessary. It is Joe Biden, his appointed cabinet members, the weaponized alphabet agencies CIA, FBI, DOJ, DHS, who have through “lawfare” and unbridled collusion with leftist media, who are abusing US laws to punish opponents, putting innocent Trump supporters in prison, and exacting their revenge worthy of a tin pot dictator.
And it is pure evil.

Democrats have sowed the wind. They will reap the whirl wind.
God bless Donald Trump.
Yes, God Bless President Trump. FJB!
This is a battle between good and evil. The globalist deep state along with their Democrat/RINO uniparty minions who do their bidding are pure evil. God bless and protect Mr. Trump and his family.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier today that Investigative reporter Laura Loomer uncovered a BlackRock ad from 2023 that appears to feature Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old shooter who tried assassinating President Donald Trump at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The BlackRock ad was filmed at Bethel Park High School which Crooks attended. He would have been 19 or 20 years of age at the time the ad was filmed so he should have already graduated? BlackRock has deep ties to the Biden regime with many former executives and employees being hired to fill his administration. Maybe globalist corporations like BlackRock along with the deep state and the Biden regime were involved in this failed assassination attempt?

I have no confidence that Biden and the Democrats will change their ways…
Biden “forgot” to mention Congressman Steve Scalise who was shot by a Bernie supporter at a Congressional baseball game practice, Senator Rand Paul beaten to a pulp and Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, also the victim of an assassination attempt by Democrats and their supporters. Rep.Bennie Thompson introduced legislation to strip President Trump of his secret service protection. All these events happened after hateful rhetoric.
Everything has changed now. Much suspicion has been cast on the Secret Service and its leader for botching the protection of President Trump, and few have confidence in the FBI to conduct a serious investigation of the shooter.
Will Trump convert to a gun control advocate?
No, and neither will I.
There were bystanders who saw the would be assassin climb onto the roof but they were unable to get the police and secret service to respond to the threat, but maybe if they were armed they could have stopped the would be assassin and prevented the near assassination of President Trump and stopped the killing and wounding of innocent supporters who were attending the rally?
Fine piece this morning from American Greatness by Victor Davis Hanson.
“The Biden Titanic”
https://amgreatness.com/2024/07/15/the-biden-titanic/
I just finished reading it Showandtell. There is also a good read by Edward Ring on why Governor Climate Change should never be President.
Thanks so much, John, for pointing me to that article.
Another great piece from Edward Ring.
Guess I should post the link to that article, too:
“Why Gavin Newsom Must Never Become U.S. President”

I believe that divine intervention saved Mr. Trump’s life on Saturday. If he had not turned his head to the right just before the shot was taken, the assassin’s bullet would have killed him. DJT had an angel on his shoulder. Demoncrats will not stop with the type of hate rhetoric directed at DJT and his supporters. Their “self-reflection” is only a temporary reprieve. Don’t count on them to change their ways.
Well said, Katy.
As usual, you distill the issues and shine a light on news items worth discussing.
The accused shooter the poster boy for the NRA? WOW!
The would be assassin was the poster boy in an ad for the globalist multinational corporation BlackRock which is is the world’s largest asset manager with trillions in assets under it’s management. It was filmed a few months ago at the high school he attended. Wow, what message were they telegraphing about Trump’s MAGA movement? How utterly demonic is BlackRock and the deep state? (watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QandBO5Jdx0)
Nope. He is a poster boy for the globalist Black Rock finance company.
Perhaps a question or two might be warranted towards the CIA? There is information about the shooter being kicked off his high school shooting team because he couldn’t shoot.
How often have we heard nutty Democrats like Joy Reid comparing Trump to Hitler? Sadly, there are also some Republicans (aka RINOs) that have compared Trump to Hitler. For example, JD Vance , in Facebook texts to a former roommate, questioned whether Trump was more of “a cynical asshole like Nixon”, or worse, “America’s Hitler.” He has also publicly called Trump an “idiot” and said that he was “reprehensible.” In an October 2016 interview with Charlie Rose, Vance said that “I’m a never-Trump guy, I never liked him,” and that Trump was, by Vance’s estimation at the time, a “terrible candidate”. Vance also said that racism and a lack of faith were the reasons why Trump attracted so much support from white Americans.
Good grief? Trump’s selection of JD Vance for his running mate isn’t an improvement over Mike Pence?
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I’ll do a mini counter-argument, TJ, for what it’s worth. Will have to get up to speed on the specific details of his “journey” but Vance had converted to strong and presumably sincere support of Trump by 2020, and as we know converts of any kind are among the MOST devoted and committed and loyal of all.
Also very much respect those who are able to admit they were wrong; if they mean it, that is. Such people are not at all common, and it says a lot about their character.
Please let it be, because I don’t relish the thought of having to eat MY words one day, ha ha. Especially about such an important matter as this.
I didn’t care much for Pence as VP. He was put on the ticket by establishment Republicans and the Religious Right in exchange for their support of the ticket and the platform. During 12 years in the House, he introduced 90 bills…..none became law. The conservative media seems to want to anoint Vance as their 2028 POTUS candidate, but I have my doubts. Remember Dan Quayle? Where is Quayle now? I believe that there are too many potential candidates – De Santis, Rubio, Cruz, Haley, Scott, Bergram…..and the list goes on.
TJ – Vance recanted his early comments about Trump and apologized publicly:
“Like a lot of people, I criticized Trump back in 2016,” Vance said. “And I ask folks not to judge me based on what I said in 2016, because I’ve been very open that I did say those critical things and I regret them, and I regret being wrong about the guy.”
Vance said that he thought Trump was a good president and that “he made a lot of good decisions for people, and I think he took a lot of flak.”
“I think that’s the most important thing, is not what you said five years ago, but whether you’re willing to stand up and take the heat and take the hits for actually defending the interests of the American people.”
Trump endorsed Vance for his US Senate run.
