"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed parts of the media and the Democratic Party for the latest Trump dinner shooting, as she spoke to the press in DC on Monday. "You know, people listen, and when you have mentally disturbed individuals across the country who are listening to this crazed rhetoric about the President day after day after day, it inspires them to do crazy things and, unfortunately, it’s not just the media," she claimed. " It is the entire Democrat Party [that] has made their pitch to voters across the country that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to democracy, that he is a fascist, and that they compare him to Hitler." "I mean, these are despicable statements that the American people have been consuming for years. And so many mentally perturbed individuals are led to believe these words are truth and then are inspired to act on it. I have a whole host of examples that we can share with you after," she added. Shots were fired at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday where more than 2,000 guests had gathered for the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. Donald Trump, First Lady Melania, Vice President JD Vance, and cabinet members were in attendance. A Secret Service officer was shot but saved by his bulletproof vest. The suspect, identified by the media as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, was apprehended and then taken to the hospital for evaluation while investigators examined his motives. The US president, who suggested he was likely the target, praised the Secret Service's response at a subsequent White House press conference. "When you're impactful, they go after you," Trump said, slamming the assailant as a 'very sick person'. The president stated the Correspondents' Dinner would be rescheduled within 30 days."
