Florida Republican tells Kamala Harris to tone down anti-Trump ads: 'Stick to the facts'

A Florida Republican congressman tried to blame former President Donald Trump's second assassination attempt on the Democratic party's anti-Trump and anti-Project 2025 ads.

U.S. House Rep. Byron Donalds claimed on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle show that Democrats referring to Trump as a "threat to democracy" is the reason why now two people have tried to assassinate him.

The congressman called on Vice President Kamala Harris to tone it down on the ads. "Stick to the policy. She can't do that, so that's why, in my view, they're not going to change," Donalds said on the show.

Donalds encouraged Harris to "stick to the facts," despite the Republican party's vice presidential candidate JD Vance being in the news recently for sharing false conspiracy theories about Haitian immigrants eating pets.

Donalds claimed that rather than campaigning against Trump's policies, the Democrats were trying to encourage violence. Democrats have denied this accusation that has been made by Republicans since Sunday, as reported by The Independent.

"What she should do is go through all the ad campaigns that they are running in the battleground states," Donalds said on The Ingraham Angle. "Anything that references being destructive of democracy and all the other tropes and the lies, Project 2025—all that stuff, it should come down."

Trump was not injured in the second assassination attempt Sunday at his Florida golf club. This marks the second attempt on his life in two months after a gunman shot Trump in July, injuring him in his right ear at a Pennsylvania rally.
