Magats are sick, twisted and disgusting. They better hope their words don't incite more violence. Legitimate republicans should condemn these nut jobs publicly.
"In the aftermath of a shooting that injured former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, several Republican lawmakers and conservative media personalities jumped to blame President Joe Biden for the assassination attempt against his rival for the White House.
"Joe Biden sent the orders," Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) wrote on X, formerly Twitter, minutes after the shooting.
The details surrounding the shooter and their motives remain hazy. According to the Associated Press, the incident is being investigated as an attempted assassination. Despite the lack of information, Collins and other Republican figures have seized on the portion of Biden's statement referencing a "bullseye" as proof that the president ordered or tacitly endorsed an attempt on Trump's life.
The X account of the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee attempted to connect the same statement to the shooting, "Joe Biden: ‘It's time to put Trump in a bullseye. ‘That just happened."
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) wrote "shame on him" in reference to the same quote.
[J.D. Vance] said "The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump's attempted assassination."
Right-wing media figures went even further, claiming that Team Biden may have been involved in a covert assassination plot against Trump."
