Johnson punts on GOP rhetoric, 2020 election outcome

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., declined to definitively answer questions on Republican rhetoric surrounding the upcoming presidential election and the results of the 2020 race as former President Donald Trump ramps up attacks on Democrats a month before Election Day.

Johnson, in an interview with "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos, refused to call out rhetoric from Trump and his family suggesting that the two assassination attempts against him were sparked by Democrats, claims made without evidence.

Eric Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, the site of the first assassination attempt on Trump where the former president was grazed by a bullet, said, "They impeached him twice. They went after his Supreme Court justices. They weaponized the entire legal system. .. And then, guys, they tried to kill him. They tried to kill him, And it’s because the Democratic Party, they can’t do anything right."

"I think what they're alluding to is what we’ve all been saying. They have got to turn the rhetoric down," Johnson said, adding that he "didn't hear all the comments."

When I read what Eric Trump said here it seems to me that Trump's statement fits that description. Turn down the rhetoric Eric Trump. Turn down the rhetoric.
