"When you have people in positions of power that are saying things like this every single day for years, you are inspiring violence by people who are already mentally ill, and that's what we've seen against this president for far too long."
"Calling Donald Trump a wannabe dictator-and his administration authoritarianism on steroids-isn't a call for violence, it's a statement of fact."
Karoline Leavitt attributed the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner to violent rhetoric from prominent Democrats. She cited comments from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Ed Markey, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley as examples of language that could inspire violence. Leavitt stated that such rhetoric influences unstable individuals to commit acts of violence. The alleged attacker, who charged through a security checkpoint, had a manifesto targeting President Trump. Markey defended his comments about Trump, asserting they were factual and not inciting violence.
