Democrats Silent on Rhetoric Ties to Foiled Assassination Plot Targeting Trump Cabinet Member
Democrats have remained silent on potential ties to past inflammatory rhetoric directed at OMB Director Russ Vought amid a foiled assassination plot involving a supporter of the Trump administration. The silence comes as Democrats evade questions about whether their previous verbal attacks could be linked to the plot.
Democrats are facing criticism for remaining silent on their past rhetoric toward OMB Director Russ Vought amid news of a foiled assassination plot targeting him, despite having previously made heated comments about his views and policies. The party's silence has sparked questions about whether they could have been aware of potential threats or had knowledge of the plot beforehand. Many are calling on Democrats to address their past words and actions regarding Vought, who was targeted in a plot by a 34-year-old man armed with knives and a gun. The FBI is investigating the foiled assassination attempt as part of its probe into extremist activity among far-right groups.
