(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Democrats are recycling the same inflammatory rhetoric that Republicans say led to both assassination attempts against President Donald Trump.
Reps. Al Green, D-Texas, and Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., made the unhinged remarks just over a year after Trump narrowly survived a shooting at a July 2024 rally.
“There are no circumstances that will prevent me from continuing to challenge the bigotry emanating from the presidency and policy,” Green ranted.
“I will not stop … This president is going to be brought down. He has to be brought down. He will be impeached again!” He added.

Not to be outdone, Slotkin branded Trump an “existential threat,” mirroring the same apocalyptic language Democrats tried to disown after the failed assassination.
Not to be outdone, Slotkin described Trump as an “existential threat,” recycling the same charged language Democrats tried to walk back after the shooting.
“Is Donald Trump an existential threat to democracy in his second term, or is Donald Trump’s second term bad, but, like his first term, survivable if we just wait it out? And I just want you to know, from your senator, as someone who sits in that room on your behalf, I am in camp number one, he is an existential threat to democracy,” she said.

This is exactly the type of rhetoric that led to two assassination attempts. Shameful. pic.twitter.com/G1Csfwtkp0

Slotkin’s outburst comes as her CIA ties continue sparking controversy on X.
Freudian slip? @RepSlotkin refers to herself as a CIA officer at yesterday’s Homeland Security committee hearing.
