Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said during an interview over the weekend that the Democratic Party had not asked its members to tone down their extremist rhetoric directed at former President Donald Trump or the Republican Party after Trump was shot on Saturday in an attempted assassination.

Crow made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation” when asked by host Margaret Brennan about terms that Democrats have used to attack Trump.

“Democrats have referred to Donald Trump as a sociopath, as a narcissist,” she said, downplaying the true extent of the what Democrats say about Trump — whom they routinely compare to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and claim will destroy American democracy.

“Do you think at this moment, all of that should stop?” she asked.

“I think right now, on the heels of an attempted — what appears to be an attempted assassination attempt by all the evidence that we’re seeing right now, we all need to take a step back, we all need to take a breather,” he said.

When asked whether Democratic leadership had conveyed that message to members, Crow responded: “They have not.”

“We are on that precipice,” he said. “So leadership requires that we all step back. And we say enough is enough. We can’t do this. And this is my call to action, both to the American people, and to my colleagues, to the American people, right now: pick up the phone, walk out your door, go talk to your neighbor, go talk to your colleague, call your friends, who don’t agree with you and tell them, we can disagree. You’re not my enemy. You’re not evil. But this is our time to come together and to reach out to each other and to my colleagues. Let’s stop creating political moments. And let’s start creating political change. That is what we need now.”

Former President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he has canceled changes that he initially made to his travel schedule for the 2024 Republican National Convention this week after a man who donated to far-left causes shot him during an assassination attempt on Saturday at a political rally in Pennsylvania.

“Based on yesterday’s terrible events, I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin, and The Republican National Convention, by two days, but have just decided that I cannot allow a ‘shooter,’ or potential assassin, to force change to scheduling, or anything else,” Trump posted on social media. “Therefore, I will be leaving for Milwaukee, as scheduled, at 3:30 P.M. TODAY. Thank you! DJT”

Trump added moments later: “UNITE AMERICA!”

Trump is expected to speak in Milwaukee on Thursday, the last day of the event. He is expected to unveil who he has selected to be his vice president during the convention and not before.

Earlier in the day, Trump said that “it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.”

“We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” he said. “Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”

He said that in this moment it was “more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win.”

“I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin,” he added.
