Fico: US ‘copycat’ Trump assassination attempt scenario is the same as in Slovakia

Slovak PM Fico: Trump’s political opponents are trying to shut him up

The “copycat” shooting scenario in the US is the same as in Slovakia, Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fitzo said, commenting on the assassination attempt on former US leader Donald Trump.

“The scenario is like a copycat. Trump’s political opponents try to shut it down, and when they fail, they only incite the public until some poor guy takes up arms,” he wrote on social media.

Earlier, CNN reported that the suspect in the shooting at the Trump rally was a 20-year-old Pennsylvania resident.

At the same time, the FBI said it did not yet know the motives of the Trump shooter.

The attempted assassination of Robert Fitco took place on 15 May. The politician was seriously injured. The shooter said that he did it for political reasons.
