D<\/span>uring a press conference held shortly after an armed gunman ran through a security barrier at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner with the obvious intention of shooting President Trump and other members of his administration, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked this question: \u201cRespectfully, why do you think this keeps happening to you?\u201d Trump answered, \u201cThe people who do the most, the people who have the biggest impact, they\u2019re the ones that they go after.\u201d And by \u201cthey,\u201d Trump meant Democrats. He has, for obvious reasons, studied presidential assassinations and knows that all but one of the victims were Republicans.<\/p>\n

Republican President Abraham Lincoln was, of course, murdered by John Wilkes Booth in April of 1865. Corporate media \u201cfact checkers\u201d and online misinformation sites like Wikipedia have in recent years desperately attempted to revise history to conceal Booth\u2019s political affiliation with the Democrats. FactCheck.org, for example, falsely identified him as a member of the Know-Nothing Party. That claim has been frequently repeated but any competent and politically neutral researcher will quickly discover that the Know-Nothings disappeared from the political landscape when Booth was 15 years old \u2014 10 years before he assassinated Lincoln.<\/p>\n

The next president to be assassinated was Republican James Garfield, who was shot by Charles Guiteau in July of 1881. As with John Wilkes Booth, there have been clumsy attempts to conceal Guiteau\u2019s affiliation with the Democrats. Wikipedia, for example, tells us on one line that he identified as a \u201cLiberal Republican,\u201d yet contradicts that very claim in the next sentence by pointing out that, in 1872, he voted for Horace Greeley. In that election Greeley ran on the Democrat presidential ticket against incumbent Republican Ulysses S. Grant \u2014 a much reviled figure among all Democrats for his success in defeating the Confederacy.<\/p>\n

The third president to be assassinated was Republican William McKinley. Is anyone beginning to detect a pattern here? McKinley was shot in September of 1901 by Leon Czolgosz, whose biography has obviously been scrubbed clean of any reference to the Democratic Party. Depending on the source, he is variously described as a socialist, anti-capitalist, anarchist and even a disgruntled McKinley voter. A simple internet search on that incongruous claim produces the following result: \u201cBased on available historical accounts, it is uncertain if Leon Czolgosz voted for William McKinley in 1896, although it is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is why assassins go after Republican presidents. They are an existential threat to the Democratic Party, and Trump is the tip of the spear.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Other Republican presidents who have survived assassination attempts include Theodore Roosevelt (1912), Gerald Ford (1975), Ronald Reagan (1981), and Donald Trump (2024 twice and once in 2026). Their would-be assassins, we are told by \u201chistorians,\u201d were all loners with murky motivations. Similarly implausible claims have been made about James Hodgkinson, who opened fire on Republican congressmen who were practicing for a baseball game and very nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) in 2017, and now Tyler Robinson who has been charged with killing Charlie Kirk. Here\u2019s a hint on their motives: They all shot Republicans.<\/p>\n

As Jesus of Nazareth put it, \u201cYou shall know them by their fruits.\u201d This brings us to the Democrat claim that violence has no place in politics. Former President Barack Obama echoed this on social media Sunday morning: \u201cAlthough we don\u2019t yet have the details about the motives behind last night\u2019s shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it\u2019s incumbent upon all of us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.\u201d In reality, he normalized violence against Republicans. Obama, you will recall, described GOP voters as bitter people who \u201ccling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren\u2019t like them.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is no coincidence that Hillary Clinton described Trump supporters as \u201cdeplorable\u201d and Joe Biden called them \u201cgarbage.\u201d Such rhetoric dehumanizes their political opponents. This is why Kamala Harris openly called Donald Trump a \u201cfascist\u201d during her failed presidential bid. If you convince weak-minded people that a politician is dangerous to \u201cour democracy,\u201d it justifies violence against him. Biden told donors five days before Donald Trump was shot in Pennsylvania, \u201cIt\u2019s time to put Trump in a bull\u2019s-eye.\u201d There is no doubt that such vitriol incites violence, and that is why Democrats and the corporate media deploy it.<\/p>\n

Democrats have deliberately created a permission structure for all types of political violence, including assassination. As recently as last Wednesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stood before an image of President Trump and called for\u00a0\u201cMaximum Warfare Everywhere All The Time.\u201d Sen. Elisa Slotkin (D-Mich.) insists that President Trump is an \u201cexistential threat to democracy.\u201d Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) promises that anyone who has cooperated with President Trump and the Republicans will become a target in the future: \u201cWe are not going to look kindly on people who facilitated authoritarianism in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is why assassins go after Republican presidents. They are an existential threat to the Democratic Party, and Trump is the tip of the spear. Raskin is issuing a direct threat to the President and his supporters. He said these things the morning after an assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner and kill the President and any other administration official he could hit. Remember Raskin\u2019s words on November 3, 2026.<\/p>\n
