Trump Republicans ‘Reap What They Sow’ by Defending Gun Rights: European Left

 

In reaction to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, leading left-wing political figures in Europe pointed the finger at gun rights in America, with the former head of the UK Labour Party in the European Parliament saying that Republicans “reap what they sow” for defending the Second Amendment.  Listen To Story

 

The failed assassination attempt on former president and current frontrunner in the 2024 election Donald Trump at a campaign rally, which claimed the life of an audience member and left two others critically wounded, is already being used for political points scoring to forward the anti-gun agenda of the left in Europe.

 

While European leaders — many of whom have been deeply critical of Donald Trump — were quick to condemn the political violence against the presumptive Republican nominee, some leading political figures, such as Richard Corbett, used the opportunity to advance their agenda.

 

Corbett, the former and final leader of the European Parliamentary Labour Party (EPLP), which represented the governing UK Labour Party in the EU Parliament before Brexit, said on Sunday in response to the shooting of the former president: “Will this make the Republicans want to change the US gun laws that have led to widespread gun ownership and nearly 50,000 deaths a year from guns?”

 

“Fat chance! They reap what they sow,” Corbett added.

 

Deputy leader of the Reform UK party and Member of Parliament for Boston and Skegness, Richard Tice said the comments from the senior Labour figure were “disgraceful”.

 

“We operate in an atmosphere that when it is impossible to democratically defeat us, we need to be illegally locked up. If it doesn’t work, some activist needs to be provoked to [attempt assassination]. Working in such an atmosphere is not easy, but we can manage it.” pic.twitter.com/1I48LMQjD9
