The attempted assassination of American President Donald Trump is linked to his systemic demonization, said White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
"The current political violence is explained by the systemic demonization of Trump, as well as the systemic demonization of his supporters by commentators and, yes, elected members of the Democratic Party and even some media," she said at a briefing.
Such violence is provoked by the rhetoric coming from Trump's political opponents, Levitt stated.
Recall that on the evening of April 25, at the Washington Hilton hotel in Washington, during the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, there was an attempted assassination of Trump. A 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen was detained on suspicion of committing the crime. It was reported that before the shooting, he wrote some kind of manifesto in which he named members of the U.S. administration as targets.
