Jasmine Crockett: Trump Supporters Tried to Assassinate President, Violence Doesn’t Come From Democrats

Jasmine Crockett claimed that the individuals who attempted to assassinate former President Trump were 'Trump supporters' and that political violence primarily comes from the right, but there is no credible evidence supporting the claim that the assassination attempts were carried out by Trump supporters or that violence does not come from Democrats.

Key Evidence

Verified July 11, 2025
  • No official investigation or credible source has confirmed that the assassination attempt suspects were Trump supporters or motivated by MAGA ideology; law enforcement reports do not attribute a political motive to these individuals. Additionally, political violence has been documented on both sides of the aisle, contradicting the claim that it exclusively comes from one side.

The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The claim consists of two main components: first, that the men who tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump were Trump supporters; second, that political violence in the U.S. Does not come from Democrats but mainly from the right, specifically MAGA supporters. Rep. Jasmine Crockett publicly stated these views in interviews and discussions, asserting that violence largely originates from MAGA supporters and explicitly labeling the assassination attempt suspects as Trump supporters.redstate.comredstate.comJasmine Crockett: Trump Supporters Tried to Assassinate President, Violence...breitbart.combreitbart.comDemocrat Star Jasmine Crockett Falsely Claims 'All Violence Coming from MAGA'louderwithcrowder.comlouderwithcrowder.comWatch: Left wing violence denier Jasmie Crockett blames it all on MAGA,...

However, investigations into the assassination attempts have not established any political motive or affiliation for the suspects. For example, Thomas Matthew Crooks, one of the individuals involved in an assassination attempt, has no publicly confirmed political motive or connection to Trump supporters. Multiple credible sources and law enforcement reports have not corroborated Crockett's assertion about the suspects' political alignment.

Furthermore, the broader claim that violence does not come from Democrats is an overgeneralization and lacks nuance. Political violence has occurred across the spectrum in recent years, with documented incidents involving individuals from various political affiliations. Critics and fact-checkers have labeled Crockett's statements as baseless or false due to lack of evidence.

While it is true that some violent acts have been committed by right-wing extremists or Trump supporters, it is inaccurate to categorically deny any violence from Democrats or left-leaning groups. The verdict is 'Mostly False' because while Crockett did make these claims publicly, they are not supported by credible evidence regarding the assassination attempts and oversimplify the complex reality of political violence in the U.S.
