"I'm incredibly scared. I'm scared for journalists. I'm scared for people who have public platforms of all parties."
Biden's former White House press secretary Jen Psaki was critical of individuals on Sunday who placed blame on President Biden and Democrats' repeated anti-Trump vitriol for leading up to the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, saying this is no time to "attack the other party."
Psaki, who hosts "Inside with Jen Psaki" on MSNBC, criticized public figures for sharing examples of Democrats advocating for violence against Trump and his supporters. She then portrayed herself and her mainstream media colleagues as the victims, expressing concerns of "retaliation" over their past remarks that have been going viral across social media since the assassination attempt.
"For anyone out there who has a platform who thinks the moment right now is to be political and attack the other party, you are feeding into the danger," said Psaki on NBC News' Meet The Press. "You are making it more likely there's retaliation. I'm incredibly scared. I'm scared for journalists. I'm scared for people who have public platforms of all parties."
While Psaki denounced the "other side," she failed to denounce her own political party for their actions over the past several years, including referring to Trump as a "dictator" and comparing him and his supporters to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
The week prior to the assassination attempt, President Biden told donors "It's time to put Trump in a bullseye." Biden has repeatedly called Trump and his supporters a "threat" to democracy, however, Psaki said during the segment that moving forward President Biden will be the one to "heal" the nation.
After the would-be assassin armed with a rifle gained access to a rooftop roughly 130 yards away from President Trump - with a clear line of sight to Trump's rally stage - and fired shots, one hit Trump’s ear and another killed an innocent Trump supporter. Some left-wing activists slammed the shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, for missing Trump's head and not finishing the job. "How do you miss" and you had "one job" trended on X after Trump narrowly survived the attack.
