Trump Assassination Attempt Sparks Left-Wing Backlash Debate

from 4 Things To Know This Afternoon · host Erick-Woods Erickson

Left-Wing Rhetoric and Political Violence I break down the reaction from progressives to the attempted assassination of President Trump and how some are downplaying or justifying it. There's a growing refusal on the left to confront dangerous rhetoric within their own ranks. Suspect Charged in Trump Assassination Attempt Prosecutors have charged a 31-year-old California man with attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The charges carry serious prison time and raise major questions about motive and influence. Iran Stalls While Pushing Strait of Hormuz Talks Iran wants relief in the Strait of Hormuz but is delaying nuclear negotiations. I explain why this is a losing strategy for the U.S. and what it reveals about Iran's weakening economic position. DeSantis Redistricting Plan Could Shift Congress Florida Governor Ron DeSantis unveils a new redistricting map that could give Republicans up to four additional seats. I explain the political risks, rewards, and why this move matters nationally.
