Former New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin expressed his concerns about the escalating anti-Trump and anti-GOP rhetoric that has led to verbal and physical attacks against Republicans. Zeldin highlighted recent incidents where prominent figures made alarming statements, such as Dan Goldman's comment about the need to 'eliminate' President Trump and Bennie Thompson's suggestion to remove Secret Service protection.
Zeldin, speaking at the Republican National Convention, emphasized his frustration with the hostile environment faced by Republicans, citing a disturbing trend of increasing aggression over the years. He specifically referenced President Biden's controversial remark about putting Trump 'in a bullseye,' which Biden later acknowledged as a 'mistake' following a recent assassination attempt on Trump during a rally.
