Senator Marco Rubio, R-Fla., didn’t hold back when discussing Hillary Clinton’s recent comments labeling former President Donald Trump as a “danger” to the country and the world.

Clinton’s remarks came just a day after a disturbing incident at Trump’s golf course, where a man allegedly pointed a rifle at the former president. Rubio, during an appearance on “America’s Newsroom,” was quick to call out the Democrats for using incendiary language, which he believes can have dangerous consequences, as reported by Fox News.

Rubio pointed out the reckless nature of comparing Trump to dictators like Hitler or Mussolini. “If you repeatedly say someone is going to be the next Adolf Hitler or the next Mussolini… eventually people are going to vote against this guy,” he said. However, Rubio made it clear that it doesn’t stop there. “There are enough lunatics and nutjobs out there who are going to take the next step and say, ‘Well, this guy is truly evil, this guy is truly dangerous. If our democracy and our system of government is going to be wiped out if this guy wins, I need to take this guy out,'” Rubio continued. He connected this rhetoric to the actions of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man accused of pointing a rifle at Trump at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida.

Rubio expressed concern about how such incidents could escalate and called for a deeper investigation into how the incident occurred, especially regarding security. He suggested that it’s clear Routh was influenced by the continuous messaging portraying Trump as a danger. “We need to learn how he got there, how that perimeter wasn’t secured… but I think we know enough to say he was influenced by this rhetoric about Trump being a dangerous dictator-in-waiting,” Rubio added.

This latest incident came just a day before Clinton continued her verbal attacks on Trump, accusing him of stirring up chaos. “He should be calming the waters if he were a true leader,” she said, but instead, she claimed he’s “throwing out red meat” to rile up his supporters. Clinton’s remarks echoed the sentiments of other prominent Democrats, such as President Biden and Vice President Harris, who have repeatedly warned that Trump is a “threat to democracy” and have called for Americans to unite against him.

Trump, for his part, didn’t hesitate to shift the blame back onto his political rivals. He pointed to the inflammatory rhetoric coming from the Biden administration. “He [the suspect] believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it,” Trump told Fox News Digital. This marks the second time in just two months that Trump has been targeted. The first occurred in July when a gunman opened fire on him during a rally in Pennsylvania.
