Rep. Zoe Lofgren Says Trump's Attacks On FBI Could 'Potentially' Be Incitement
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) said Sunday that Donald Trump’s brazen, repeated attacks on the FBI could “potentially” be considered incitement of violence against the agency and agents.
CNN’s Jim Acosta pressed Lofgren on whether she considered it incitement when Trump blasted the FBI and Justice Department as “vicious monsters” at his Pennsylvania rally Saturday night.
“Potentially, yes,” responded Lofgren, who’s a member of the House Jan. 6 panel investigating last year’s insurrection. “In the lead-up to January 6th there were extravagant claims made meant to inflame public opinion, and that is what is happening here.”
“I think it’s meant to turn people against law enforcement officers,” Lofgren said. “And we’ve seen that sometimes that rhetoric reaches people who are prepared to act on it.“
