Watch: Democrat Congressman Calls For Trump 'To Be Eliminated’

A Democrat Congressman, Rep. Dan Goldman, has apparently just called for former President Trump’s assassination on live television, or something.

Goldman said “He [Trump] is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be — he has to be eliminated.”

While the Congressman may not have been calling for the former President’s assassination it sure sounds like it.

Watch and judge for yourself:

Here’s the full transcript of the exchange:

PSAKI: “I want to also turn to Trump, of course, and just some of what the reporting has been around some of his conversations also as we anticipate a year full of trials next year. I want to take a listen to part of a conversation that he had with ABC’s Jonathan Karl about January 6th, and get your thoughts on the other end.”

[Clip starts]

KARL: “You told them you were going to go up to the Capitol. Were you just —“

TRUMP: “I was going to and then Secret Service said, ‘You can’t.’ And then by the time — I would have, and then when I get back, I said I wanted to go back. I was thinking about going back during the problem to stop the problem, doing it myself. Secret Service didn’t like that idea too much.”

KARL: “So — so what — so —“

TRUMP: “And I could have done that, and you know what, I would have been very well received.”

[Clip ends]

PSAKI: “So there’s been so much speculation, contemplation, discussion of what Trump wanted to do, what he knew or didn’t know. I mean, do you think as a prosecutor this is something that could be useful in the case against Trump? How will it be used?”

GOLDMAN: “Yeah. Well, I mean, look, he says, I would be well received, because he knows that the people who were there are his supporters who he riled up and incited to invade and riot at the Capitol and try to disrupt the proper counting of the Electoral College votes. So every time he talks, he’s putting himself into a bigger criminal hole. But the — but that’s not his objective. His objective is purely political at this point. Politics don’t work in a courtroom, as I think he’s finding out in the New York attorney general’s case in New York, a civil case, and — and that’s going to continue in his criminal trials. But his rhetoric is really getting dangerous, more and more dangerous. And we saw what happened on January 6, when he uses inflammatory rhetoric now. And his recent Truth Social post is incredibly, incredibly scary for anyone that might be trying to work in government. And it is just unquestionable at this point, that that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be — he has to be eliminated.”

The secret service needs to pay a visit to the Congressman, but as we all know that will never happen.

After all the Congressman has Democrat privilege.

UPDATE: The Congressman is trying to walk back his statement:

Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again.

While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence.

I apologize for the poor choice of words.

We have updated the title accordingly. We also know this same courtesy would not be returned by the left had a Republican Congressman made a similar comment about any prominent Democrat.
