After President Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, you would think the Democrats would stop pushing rhetoric that would place President Trump’s life in harm’s way.
But they have continued to do so.
This time, the latest Democrat to use threatening rhetoric towards President Trump is former Vice President candidate Tim Walz.
Tim Walz, while giving a speech in South Carolina, called for Democrats to “Bully” Trump.
Watch the moment he said it below:

Newsweek added context to Walz’s statement:
Walz, who was Harris’ vice presidential running mate and a former public school teacher, spoke at Representative Jim Clyburn of South Carolina’s Friday night fish fry and delivered a serious message to those in attendance, including many of his Democratic colleagues.
Walz spoke of “wannabe dictators and despots” and slammed Trump for “corruption” and “cruelty” in his second administration. He told those gathered that the Democratic Party needs to “change the attitude, compete in every district, compete for every school board seat.”
On Saturday, Walz spoke at the state’s Democratic Party convention where he gave a keynote speech, calling on his party to change its thinking.
“Maybe it’s time for us to be a little meaner, maybe it’s time for us to be a little more fierce because we have to ferociously push back on this,” he said, to applause from the crowd.
“And again, I’ll speak to my teacher colleagues in here. The thing that bothers a teacher more than anything is to watch a bully…and when it’s a child you talk to him and you tell him why bullying’s wrong, but when it’s an adult like Donald Trump you bully the s*** out of him back,” Walz said. “You push back, you make sure they know it’s not there, because at heart—at heart, this is a weak, cruel man that takes it out and punches down on people.”
Political commentator Todd Starnes called for the Secret Service to get involved.
Look:
JUST IN: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz tells a cheering crowd in South Carolina to "bully the sh*t out of Donald Trump." Take this unhinged creep literally.
The Secret Service needs to charge Walz with inciting violence against the president. Start playing hardball with these thugs.

Others on X called for the Secret Service to get involved, too:

Walz further called President Trump an “existential threat”.
Per The New York Post:
“Donald is the existential threat we knew was coming,” Walz said at another point during the Saturday morning remarks, adding that, for Democrats, “it is going to be a challenging few years here.”
“We’ve got the guts and we need to have it to push back on the bullies and the greed,” Walz said during his remarks.
Despite the tough talk and foul language directed at the commander and chief, Walz also encouraged South Carolina Democrats to keep things light.
