Representative Daniel Goldman – a Democrat from New York linked to Judge Engoron and his partisan staffer Allison Greenfield – is attempting to clarify controversial comments he made during a television interview with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday. During the interview Goldman demanded that former President Donald Trump “has to be eliminated”. The statement was immediately interpreted by supporters of the former President as an encouragement for political violence against Trump and his allies.
On Monday, the congressman expressed regret for his words: “Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again. While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence.”
“Sometimes they slip and say the quiet part out loud,” conservative radio host Mike Gallagher posted on X (formerly Twitter). Alex Bruesewitz, a Trump campaign surrogate, urged House Speaker Mike Johnson to censure Goldman for his comments.
“Democrats have been calling for violence against President Trump and his supporters since 2016,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said.
This weekend, The National Pulse revealed how Dan Goldman is a fan of Allison Greenfield, the co-judge in the New York case against Donald Trump, liking Instagram posts from the anti-Trump Grand Street Democrats event she attended last year. Goldman also happens to be the lead counsel in the first Trump impeachment.
