President Trump warned Thursday that right-wing Americans could fight fire with fire if the “radical left” continues to attack conservatives and immigration enforcement.
“The radical left is causing the problem. They’re out of control,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked about political violence including the Wednesday attack on an ICE facility in Dallas.
“They’re saying things, and they’re really dumb people, and I look at [Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine] Crockett, I look at some of these people that are very low-IQ people, actually. But the radical left is causing this problem, not the right.”
“It’s going to get worse, and ultimately it’s going to go back on them,” the president said.

“I don’t want to see that happen either,” Trump went on.
“I’m the president of all the people. But the radical left is causing this. Radical left Democrats are causing this problem, and it gets worse, it gets worse, and it’ll be a point where other people won’t take it anymore. That will not be good for the radical left. And we don’t want that.”
