Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democrats blamed it for threats.
“Kamala Harris and liberal Democrats are demented,” Cheung said in a statement Monday. “There have been two despicable assassination attempts on President Trump and their violent rhetoric is directly to blame.”
Cheung called on Harris and the Democrats to apologize.
“Unless the Democrats and Kamala Harris come out and apologize for their hateful rhetoric and tone down their attacks that have fueled the flames of violence, they are clearly advocating and inciting more bloodshed against President Trump,” Cheung said.
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Harris condemned acts of political violence involving Trump.
“As I collect the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence. We must all do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence,” he said in a statement shortly after the apparent assassination attempt in West Palm Beach. “I am grateful to former President Trump that he is alive.”
According to the affidavit, Secret Service agents confirmed Crazybull’s identity through phone records and by comparing the voice of the threatening calls recorded by a Mar-a-Lago security guard to Crazybull’s voice in the video posted on the Facebook page.
The Secret Service used phone data from T-Mobile, located in Montana, to locate him, according to the filing.
An agent testified that Crazybull’s thought processes appeared to be racing and confused, and that he appeared “paranoid” in an interview with the Secret Service.
