Wed Sep 18 00:51:54 UTC 2024: ## Trump Supporters in Flint Blame Democratic Rhetoric for Assassination Attempts
**FLINT, Mich.** – Supporters of former President Donald Trump gathered in Flint, Michigan, on Tuesday for a town hall event, expressing their belief that inflammatory rhetoric from Democrats is fueling the recent assassination attempts against the former president.
The event comes just days after a man, identified as 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, was apprehended for allegedly attempting to shoot Trump at his golf club in Florida. This incident marks the second time Trump has been targeted in a potential assassination attempt, following a similar incident in Pennsylvania earlier this summer.
Trump supporters at the town hall echoed the former president’s claims, blaming the rhetoric of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for inciting violence against him.
“We’ve gotten so toxic in America that we’ve started this war between ourselves,” one voter said. “We’ve forgotten to love each other.”
Another voter said, “Democrats continue to say he’s a threat to democracy for no reason whatsoever.”
The accusations come as Trump holds his first campaign event since the latest attempted assassination. Trump maintains that the rhetoric of Biden and Harris is dangerous and that he is the one who will “save the country,” while they are “destroying it from the inside and out.”
The event in Flint comes less than two months before the November election, where Michigan is expected to be a pivotal state in determining the outcome. Polls show a tight race in the state, with Harris currently holding a narrow lead over Trump.
