US: Actor Randy Quaid has blamed Michelle Obama for both attempts to fire Donald Trump
US: A strong supporter of Donald Trump, actor Randy Quaid (known for his role as Cousin Eddie in the National Lampoon’s Vacation television series) has accused Michelle Obama of being behind both of the attempted assassinations of the previous president.
“On X, previously Twitter, Quaid commented on Monday, stating that “@MichelleObama is the one who initiated the nasty ‘I dread Trump rhetoric,'” and that she pushed Twitter to ban Trump in 2019. “I blame her and Biden/Harris for both shootings.”
Quaid states in a another tweet that “Michelle Obama was most likely constantly reminded to “do something” by the assassin. “Do something!” “Do something!” “Do something!”
Ryan. Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested on Sunday when the Secret Service saw a gunman along a barrier bordered by shrubs at Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. He was charged with firearms charges. Nine weeks before, at a Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign event, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was shot and died in an attempt to murder President Trump.
Quaid said that by inciting anxiety about Trump, Obama is coercing people into registering to vote.
“What got everything started was their demonization of Trump. Furthermore, since Quaid said, “her voter registration Ponzi scheme should be looked into because it’s based on the Frankensteining of Trump.
” “Trump Derangement Syndrome, or TDS, is a deadly illness for Mrs. Obama. She needs to be kept in isolation.”
“Trump should get damages for being shot at because of their unjust Frankensteining of him.”
In 2018, Michelle Obama launched the “When We All Vote” voter registration campaign. It was supposed to be a nonpartisan initiative to boost turnout for elections.
Quaid made these remarks at the same time as Trump blamed Democratic rhetoric for the two assassination attempts.
On Truth Social on Monday, Trump tweeted that “ridiculous lawsuits” against him and “false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris” had brought politics to “a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust.”
Democrats have emphasized Trump’s anti-democratic remarks in the 2024 campaigns of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. These remarks include his declaration in July that Christians “won’t have to vote anymore” if elected, his declaration in December 2023 that he would impose dictatorial rules during his first days in office, and his statement in December 2022 that the results of the 2020 election should be nullified due to “massive fraud,” which he claimed should lead to “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
Biden said to NBC’s Lester Holt after the July attempt on Trump’s life that he regretted saying a few days before that it was “time to put Trump in a bull’s-eye.”
“Using that word was a mistake,” Biden said. I was trying to get your attention to him. Concentrate on what he’s doing.
The attempted shooting on Sunday has been denounced by both Biden and Harris.
Apart from charging Democrats with use divisive language, Trump has persisted in labeling Harris as a “Marxist” who is “DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY.”
In his last public statement before to Sunday’s attempted shooting, he wrote “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” on Truth Social and that the Democratic rhetoric evoked “hatred.” In response to Trump’s criticism of the 34-year-old singer-songwriter, Quaid retweeted the Republican presidential nominee’s statement.
Numerous incidents of political violence have occurred this week. Springfield, Ohio, schools and medical institutions were evacuated as a result of bomb and gun threats, which came after President Trump’s disproved allegation during last week’s debate that Haitian immigrants are “eating the pets” of local residents.
Trump claimed to have made the statement after seeing it on TV.
For response, Newsweek reached out to the campaigns of Harris and Trump via email, Michelle Obama’s spokeswoman via an online form, and Quade via social media.
