He contends that the Democratic Party's systematic demonization of Trump as Hitler and a fascist incited the potential assassin.

“What I will blame them for is taking the demonization up to 11, taking the vitriol up to 11 because if that could poison the mind of someone who's already mentally disturbed and say, okay, well, wait a second, if he is Hitler, why wouldn't I be Colonel von Stauffenberg for assassinating him?”

He believes that leadership from both major political parties must denounce violent rhetoric to prevent further violence.

“I think we have to put both of these things aside and the the leadership, Trump and Biden, should be saying right now that and leadership does start at the top, this rhetoric is not to be done anymore.”
