Update (1010ET): Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) says he 'mistakenly used the wrong word' when he said over the weekend that Donald Trump 'has to be eliminated' - comments which some interpreted as a veiled death threat against the former US President.
"I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn't become President again," Goldman wrote on X. "While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence. I apologize for the poor choice of words," he continued.
Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again.

I apologize for the poor choice of words.
Goldman joins the ranks of Maxine Waters and Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, both of whom suggested physically confronting their political opponents, only to backpedal and say they totally didn't mean it that way.
Two years later:
Maxine Waters: “And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere.” pic.twitter.com/1efIW8VI3e

Or lying.
And so when Adam Schiff's budget mini-me piped up over the weekend to say that former President Donald Trump "has to be eliminated," eyebrows were raised over exactly what he meant.
"His rhetoric is really getting dangerous. More and more dangerous. And we saw what happened on January 6th, when he uses inflammatory rhetoric. Now, in his recent Truth Social posts, is incredibly, incredibly scary for anyone uh, that, might be trying to work in government - and, it is just unquestionable at this point that that man can not see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated," Goldman told MSNBC's Jen Psaki.

Goldman's comments drew strong criticism on X;
"Has to be eliminated" slipped out.

We all know what it means.
Context: Goldman accuses Trump of dangerous rhetoric while at the same time apparently calling for his assassination if all else fails. (That's how I hear it.)

They are scared. Trump is doing better in the polls than Biden and they are now scrambling. They know if they don’t get rid of him he will be a problem. He is a problem and he will win! Follow if you agree.

Goldman should just stick to his trust fund lifestyle. He’s made a made a name for himself by being a total pos. It could get him in trouble.
