not something I can talk about, so I would refer you to the department,\u201d he deferred.<\/p>\n<p>When prompted to comment on whether he thought the FBI raid on Trump would motivate supporters to engage in activity similar to the January 6 riot, Wray replied by denouncing violence on all sides.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cViolence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter what anyone is upset

href=\"https:\/\/thepoliticalinsider.com\/media-democrats-building-new-narrative-about-violence-from-republicans-over-fbi-raid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opined on Wednesday<\/a> that the media, Democrats, and law enforcement officials appear to be engaged in a coordinated effort to shift focus from the FBI\u2019s actions to those of Trump supporters, painting them with a broad brush of engaging in violent rhetoric in response to the raid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the obvious assessment is that the FBI and DOJ\u2019s actions \u2026 are politically motivated, the left has slowly morphed their focus from an unprecedented assault on a former President into specious claims that supporters of Trump are itching to react violently,\u201d I wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Preemptively linking rhetoric to violence is a marked shift for law enforcement officials that have failed on multiple fronts to alert the public to violent rhetoric involving people that eventually became mass shooters
