In response to MAGA Republicans remaining silent and even defending Donald Trump promising a “bloodbath” if he loses, DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:

“Donald Trump has spent years threatening and defending political violence, and no one should know better how dangerous he is for our democracy than members of Congress who were in the United States Capitol on January 6. Once again, Trump’s MAGA allies are turning a blind eye as Trump promises a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses. This is the same man who has repeatedly pledged to pardon violent insurrectionists who stormed our Capitol, applauded ‘very fine people’ at the white supremacist Charlottesville rally, and constantly praises brutal dictators. Republicans will try to hide behind weak excuses, but their silence and refusal to condemn Trump’s appalling and violent rhetoric speaks volumes with voters, who will reject Trump and the GOP’s dangerous extremism in November.”
