TN State Senator Says ‘Extremism From The MAGA Regime Has Brought Us To’ Trump Assassination Attempt

One Democrat in the Tennessee state legislature appeared to suggest that former President Donald Trump brought an assassination attempt upon himself, while another suggested that it was a hoax but hoped it was real.

State Sen. London Lamar of Memphis wrote in a since-deleted post on X that “While I am praying for former President Trump and hopes [sic] he makes a full recovery… the extremism from the MAGA regime has brought us to this moment.” (Ellipses in original.)

She then suggested that the violent act might spur policy changes — the purpose of terrorism.

“Now that Trump has stated he’s fine… I wonder will he consider sensible gun laws? Gun violence is too rampant in our country and I hope this situation changes the minds of his followers and Republican lawmakers,” she wrote.

She deleted the first post, but continued to lash out, saying, “the same people who want me to show sympathy are the same ones making racist comments.” She deleted that post as well. She then reposted a message saying “Sure, it’s bad, but all I’m saying is we have to get over it.”

Lamar’s office did not immediately return a request for comment from The Daily Wire.

Another black Democrat lawmaker from Memphis, state Rep. Antonio Parkinson, suggested that Trump had staged his own shooting as a hoax but seemed to insinuate that it might be better if it were real. “I certainly hope this is not a staged act,” he wrote.

His most recent post on X prior to that said, “The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump will be granted immunity for some official acts and a presumption of immunity for other official acts which, means he may avoid accountability for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. They basically created a dictatorship in the Oval office.”

Tennessee Democrats have a history of spurring their leftist comrades to violence with exaggerated rhetoric, then using the violence to call for more Democrat policies.

Last year, a deranged transgender leftist killed six at a Christian school, leaving behind writings lashing out at Republicans and whites. Parkinson then used the tragedy to try to force gun control, while authorities concealed the manifesto detailing the true motive for the crime and said it was not a hate crime or terrorism.

After a gunman shot Trump, President Joe Biden refused to call it an assassination attempt.
