The former president shared a video of a truck that featured a picture of a seemingly helpless Biden with his hands and feet tied up.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump drew criticism Friday for posting a video on social media that contains the image of a hog-tied President Joe Biden painted on the tailgate of a passing truck.

The Biden campaign was quick to condemn the video for suggesting physical harm to the sitting Democratic president. Biden has portrayed his likely 2024 opponent as someone who freely evokes Nazi imagery with regard to immigrants, while also stressing in speeches that Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 elections ultimately led to an assault on the U.S. Capitol.

“Trump is regularly inciting political violence and it’s time people take him seriously — just ask the Capitol police officers who were attacked protecting our democracy on January 6,” said Michael Tyler, the Biden campaign’s communications director.

        Republicans want to bring in fascism. I think a little dirty fighting until they are crushed is fine, especially as fighting fair hasn’t been working

          The time to nip this in the bud was 1933. Fighting fascism with fascism is just going to bring fascism.

          Dems are currently in control. What’s your definition of “not working”?
