NBC News’ Garrett Haake has the latest.

Wow blaming the democrats on their rhetoric towards trump. But they dont take any self accountability when there are bomb threats and shooting threats targeting haitians.
As a normal American that's neither republican or democrat, I want the nastiness to stop. NBC, you're not helping matters either. Words are powerful and unstable people often take those words to heart and act upon them. When people who don't like Trump say things such as "he's a threat to our democracy," or how about he should be "eliminated," or perhaps comparing him to Hitler, or even calling his supporters "deplorables," it's like an open invitation for mentally unstable people to take matters into their own hands. Why haven't we yet recognized the elephant in the room? Let's unite as a country, stop the rhetoric from BOTH sides, and get busy fixing the issues we're currently facing. Thanks for taking time to read my comments.
Without lies, projection and hypocrisy, the Democrats would simply disappear in a cloud of dust…
"Apparent" assassination attack! REALLY? Shocking your viewership ratings are lower than reruns of Joanie Loves Chachi…LOL!
In 2016 there were riots by lefties because Trump had won the election. Then NBC lied for 6 years saying Trump was colluding with Russia
Weirdo
Jesus said those who live by the sword die by the sword. We now get to witness how this in real life. Both attackers are from Trump's own party. He incited them. Now they come for him. Karma can be so sweet.
True Reagan Republicans support Kamala/Walz. MAGA tries to act like Reagan Republicans they ain't. The Lincoln Project is where real Republicans go for news.
Trump 2024 ! Mainstream media’s credibility is gone . Kamala a Commie
All of the Military Generals and Commanders support Kamala/Walz why? Common sense.
No one wants Donald Trump to be shot at. For Donald to put the blame on Democrats is sick. And why is it all the people that shoot @ him are or were Trump supporters?
Kamala calling Trump a threat and then pretending to care about his safety.
Trump 2024🇺🇸
NBC viewers are a different kind of stupid….. reading this comment section makes me realize that this nation is dead already.
typical crazy sheep leftists blaming the man they try to take out for their decisions
it's true. it thug was targeted, thug would have blamed Trump.
That's rich that Mr. toxic rhetoric himself now blames democrats for their rhetoric. Why doesn't he just build a wall around his golf courses.
Blame your own hate trump
Trump is despicable. He wants to blame the assassination attempts on Kamala's rhetoric. What about all the bomb threats in Springfield Ohio since he spewed lies about the immigrants at the debate? I guess he blames her for that too.
Blaming Trump for an assassination attempt on his life is like blaming the students in a school shooting.
Mehmet Oz (R), Pennsylvania Senatorial Candidate: Our Second Amendment is not just about hunting. It's about our constitutional right to protect ourselves from intruders or an overly intrusive government.
Trump version of peace, the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, in 2019 that left 23 dead, where the shooter’s manifesto parroted Trump’s rhetoric about immigrants.
Trump's version of peace, June 16, 2015: When Trump announced his bid for president at Trump Tower in New York City, he made disparaging comments about Mexicans. His repeated insults have been said to incite violence and hate toward immigrants in the years that followed.
Trump's version of peaceful tone, January 23, 2016: At a campaign rally in Iowa, Trump, in describing the loyalty of his supporters, notoriously said, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”
But both were registered republicans 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Trump attracts crazies and chaos.
Trump's peaceful tone. February 17, 2017: In what the New York Times called a “striking escalation in his attacks,” Trump tweeted that the news media is “the enemy of the American People.”
Trump's peaceful tone, July 28, 2017: During a speech to law enforcement officials in Long Island, New York, Trump encouraged police to be more violent when handling suspects and potential offenders:
Trump's peaceful tone. October 18, 2018: At a rally in Montana, Trump celebrated Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte, who body-slammed a reporter in May 2017, telling the crowd, “Any guy who can do a body-slam … he’s my guy.”
Trump version of peaceful tone. October 27, 2018: An anti-Semitic terrorist murdered 11 worshippers and injured seven others at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. Though the shooter criticized Trump for being a “globalist” who was controlled by Jews, many critics linked Trump’s rhetoric to the mass shooting. Jewish leaders in Pittsburgh wrote an open letter to Trump demanding that he “fully denounce white nationalism” before visiting a city in mourning. “For the past three years your words and your policies have emboldened a growing white nationalist movement,” the letter said. “You yourself called the murderer evil, but yesterday’s violence is the direct culmination of your influence.”
Trump version of peaceful tone. May 8, 2019: At a Florida rally, Trump turned the idea of shooting migrants and asylum seekers into a punchline. In his remarks, he asked, “How do you stop these people?” A woman at the rally reportedly yelled “shoot them” in response. Trump then joked, “That’s only in the Panhandle, you can get away with that statement.”
GOP peaceful tone, after George Floyd’s killing, Trump threatened to shoot looters in Minneapolis. His tweet thread showed the tone that would dominate his reaction to the unrest in the following months: He called protesters “thugs” and said, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” Twitter flagged Trump’s tweet for “glorifying violence.”
GOP peaceful tone. Trump spoke directly to a hate group, the Proud Boys, instructing them to “stand back” and “stand by.” In response, the Proud Boys instantly expressed gratitude and joy at being recognized by the president.
this is what peaceful means from GOP. Trump encouraged thousands of his supporters to dispute vote counts. At an outdoor rally in Washington, DC, Trump turned on Republicans who refused to support his efforts to overturn the election results, calling them weak, and urged Vice President Mike Pence to reject the Electoral College results.
This is what GOP think is peaceful politics. Trump told listeners, “You will never take back our country with weakness.” (Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani also delivered a speech in which he encouraged “trial by combat.”) He encouraged them to head to the Capitol to support objections to certification of the vote.
The left-wing media, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, no longer and by no means confines itself to its proper function of bringing the truth to the public.They manufacture and falsely embellish stories with lies and propaganda in support of the left.
They have become a cheap tabloid that can be bought at any corner dime store.
Didn't the dude vote for trump in 2016
As he should blame Dems … stop lying and listening to your bs mainstream media that you know only promotes propaganda . I blame the Dems and the Media circus clowns promoting this bs that he is a “threat to democracy “ all while doing everything they accuse him of. You worry about losing democracy keep voting in these ppl that you know work in unison with your media to promote lie after pier after lie that have been either debunked years ago or they censor anyone telling the truth!! Wake up and switch sides and protect our freedom before we keep getting the short end of the stick under this Commie party posing as Dems . I switched and so can you all ! wake up and see the lies ppl
NBC…fake news…but REAL COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA!
What the news isn't telling you is Trump triple bogeyed every hole up to the moment he was taken off the course by his security. Who had more to benefit? Some nut in the bushes or Trump's terrible golf score? Think about it.

I'm voting for Donnie so women and veterans get extra punished.

I BLAME DEMOCRATS, THE DEEP STATE, AND THE MEDIA!
Taylor Swift & Billie Eilish have some responsibility.
donnie fata** has to accept at least partial responsibility because of his repeated hateful and divisive rhetoric, that is provided this was a legitimate attempt which is highly suspect.
There’s another reason that every country on the planet is laughing at Trump and his supporters.
