In the wake of a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump, his running mate JD Vance called for a reduction in inflammatory political rhetoric, urging Democrats to tone down their language about Trump being a 'fascist' and a 'threat to democracy'. Vance's comments came as he faced criticism for spreading false claims about Haitian immigrants, leading some to accuse him of hypocrisy. On 'Morning Joe', host Joe Scarborough dismissed Vance's remarks as 'gaslighting', highlighting that Trump himself has used violent rhetoric against opponents. Vance noted that no one had attempted to harm Vice President Kamala Harris, framing this as evidence of a double standard in political discourse. Critics argue that both Trump and Vance's accusations against Democrats fail to acknowledge their own inflammatory rhetoric. The discussion continues to fuel debates about the impact of political language on violence and discourse in America.
