‘The Left have blood on their hands and questions to answer’ | World | News

What do we know so far?

A 20-year-old man tried to kill President Trump but failed.

Apparently he’s a registered Republican, but the only party he has ever donated to is the Democrat Party, and he did so on the day of Joe Biden’s Inauguration.

The murderer failed to kill President Trump, but by less than an inch.

Instead he murdered an innocent bystander and critically wounded two more of the former President’s supporters.

How did it happen, who’s to blame and what will happen next?

At the operational level, the Secret Service appears to have failed in all sorts of concrete ways. The most egregious of which was failing to secure the building used by the wannabe assassin which is less than 200 yards from where the President was standing.

On top of that, if we are to believe the eyewitnesses who have already gone on camera, multiple attendees saw the shooter scale the building during President Trump’s rally, alerted the authorities as he did so, yet no decisive action was taken.

Lastly, unlike earlier instances, most notably, when Ronald Reagan was shot, the agents responsible for the life of the President failed to immediately move their charge out of the “kill box” and rush him to a hospital, waiting instead to be given a putative ‘all clear,’ despite the fact that they did not know the extent of President Trump’s injuries, or whether or not the first assailant had an accomplice in the crowd ready to take another shot or detonate an explosive device as he remained in situ.

But what about matters above the tactical and operational? Who bears culpability at a national and the strategic level?

It is quite remarkable that even some well-know Conservatives have joined in the “let’s come together,” bromide, calling for unity and for their MAGA compatriots to avoid divisive rhetoric. President Trump was shot yesterday, and apparently it’s Conservative who have to “behave.”

Well I reject that wholeheartedly because there is only one party that has normalised political violence in America, and it’s not the Republicans.

No matter how hard you try, there is no Conservative politician, let alone President Trump, who did any of the following:

Threatened Supreme Court Justices because they had different views to their party over abortion as Senator Chuck Schumer did.

Publicly tell her followers to surround and harass any member of the Trump cabinet they see in public like Congresswoman Maxine Waters did.

Call for physical violence against President Trump as the former Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi has done.

Raised funds to pay for the bail of BLM rioters arrested for arson and vandalism as Kamala Harris, the Vice-President has done,

Or just five days ago tell an audience of his political supporters that they have to put a “bullseye” on President Trump, like Joe Biden did.

No, if there is one political party in America that has enflamed passions and dehumanized those they politically disagree with, especially President Donald Trump, it is the Democrat Party.

Sadly this irresponsible and dangerous rhetoric is not confined to one side of the Atlantic. Hopefully the UK’s new Secretary of Foreign Affairs will refrain from ever calling my former boss a bigot and a Nazi, or joking about assassination, especially if he is re-elected in four months time to a second term as our President.

Otherwise I can guarantee you that the “special relationship” between 10 Downing Street and the White House will be special, but for all the wrong reasons.

In the meantime, please keep the former, and possible future, President in your payers. Along with the other survivors and our Republic, and hope that the extremists are rejected by all decent Americans.
