In campaign seasons past, presidential candidates generally used the long Memorial Day weekend to roll out an avalanche of patriotic messaging about their vision for America’s future. Not so for Republican presidential contender Donald Trump, who chose instead to spend the days leading up to the holiday accusing President Joe Biden of scheming to assassinate him.
Within hours of Trump’s claim, Republican lawmakers were on television defending his impossible version of events. Arizona Rep. Paul Gosar posted that the FBI’s raid was an attempted “hit on Trump,” despite FBI officials confirming in a public statement that agents were following standard operating procedure, which forbids the use of force unless an agent’s life is in imminent danger. None of that matters to the Republicans who profit from amplifying Trump’s lie.
