In the wake of a second alleged attempt on his life, former President Donald Trump’s campaign has released a hard-hitting new ad accusing prominent Democratic leaders of promoting violent rhetoric against him. The ad opens with a controversial clip of Kamala Harris making a joke about killing Trump in an elevator, setting the tone for a series of similar remarks by other Democrats.
The ad features high-profile figures such as pop icon Madonna, President Joe Biden, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Representative Maxine Waters, among others. Each of them is portrayed as making statements that have fueled a dangerous political climate.
The ad, which quickly gained traction across social media and conservative platforms, aims to paint Democrats as reckless in their rhetoric, accusing them of encouraging violence. One clip shows Madonna at the 2017 Women’s March, where she said she had thought about “blowing up the White House,” while others show Waters and Pelosi advocating for confrontational tactics against Republicans.
This ad comes shortly after an alleged second attempt on Trump’s life. While details of the incident remain sparse, Trump has capitalized on the opportunity to connect these threats to what he describes as dangerous “Communist Left rhetoric.” In a fiery TRUTH Social post, Trump lashed out at Democrats, accusing them of fostering a hostile environment.
“Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” Trump wrote. He emphasized that the level of animosity directed toward him and his supporters is escalating, warning that if unchecked, it could lead to further violence.
The ad reflects the intensifying political polarization ahead of the 2024 election. Trump’s campaign has repeatedly focused on painting him as the target of a coordinated effort by both Democratic leaders and federal institutions, framing the threats against him as a symptom of a broader war on free speech and conservative values.
Democratic leaders have yet to respond to the new ad, but many have previously dismissed accusations of incitement, arguing that Trump’s own rhetoric has been equally inflammatory and dangerous.
