Donald Trump Jr branded a Democrat a “piece of s**t” after criticising America’s liberal elite for its response to the assassination attempt against his father.
Democrat Congressman Dan Goldman sparked outrage after a resurfaced clip from November 2023 showed the New York Representative make inflammatory comments about Donald Trump.
“That man cannot see public office again,” Goldman said.
“He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.”

The 45th President’s eldest son shared the footage on social media.
He added: “This piece of s**t almost got what he wanted last night (July 13).”
In a separate post, the 46-year-old shares a series of posts by Joe Biden.
The 46th President warned his White House predecessor is a “genuine threat to this nation” on June 28, adding Trump could become a “dictator” on July 5.
Responding to the posts, Donald Trump Jr said: “Don't tell me they didn't know exactly what they were doing with this c**p.
“Calling my dad a ‘dictator’ and a ‘threat to Democracy’ wasn't some one off comment.
“It has been the MAIN MESSAGE of the Biden-Kamala campaign and Democrats across the country!!!”

Following the shooting, Trump said: "Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.
"We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.
"Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.
"In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win.
"I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin."
Trump initially claimed a bullet pierced his ear, adding: "I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin."
Biden also spoke out about the horrific incident.

"I'm praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
"Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety.
"There's no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it."
Biden appeared to distance himself from inflammatory comments during an address from the Oval Office yesterday.
“There is no place in America for this kind of violence – for any violence. Ever. Period. No exception,” the President said. “We can’t allow this violence to be normalised.”
Despite Trump Jr’s criticism of Goldman, the New York Representative apologised for his comments in November 2023 at the time.
“Yesterday on TV, I mistakenly used the wrong word to express the importance for America that Donald Trump doesn’t become President again,” Goldman said.
“While he must be defeated, I certainly wish no harm to him and do not condone political violence. I apologise for the poor choice of words.”
