The usual suspects in the media, especially including Politico, have become parodies of themselves, and there's no better example of that than when they put a "Republicans pounce" spin on a story involving something terrible someone on the Left did.
Politico, do your stuff:

They really should try and be less predictable.
I guess that's a form of "pouncing."

It is. At least they got creative enough not to use that actual word.
Republicans pounce on…

… a Democrat trying to murder the President of the United States… https://t.co/tG7EPHsofs
Pouncing to the left of me, seizing to the right
— Chris Horner (@Chris_C_Horner) April 27, 2026
Maybe because the shooter repeated the Democrat political rhetoric verbatim

Politico reports it that way as if there's any question what the Republicans are saying is true.
Unfortunately, I don't believe any lessons will be learned and the left will continue to foment dangerous rhetoric about Trump.

Politico already proving @EWErickson's point from earlier this morning: https://t.co/rQ2DDfjEvx https://t.co/o2IAV7kwws
The Left will definitely continue with the hateful rhetoric, all while shamelessly trying to blame it on Trump's criticism of the Democrats.
