JUST IN: Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale was hospitalized after allegedly threatening to harm himself, police say.

Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.'s former 2020 campaign manager and current campaign senior advisor, Brad Parscale, was taken into custody this evening by Fort Lauderdale Police after allegedly threatening to harm himself at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ABC News has confirmed.

He was detained without injury and taken to Broward Health Medical Center. The news was first reported by ABC News affiliate WPLG. Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told ABC News in a statement tonight,"Brad Parscale is a member of our family and we all love him. We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible."In this file photo taken on Oct. 2, 2018, Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale is seen before the start of a rally by President Donald Trump at Landers Center in Southaven, Miss.

The former long-time campaign manager had kept a relatively low profile since the demotion, other than joining a Texas Trump campaign bus tour earlier this month and occasionally posting defiant messages on Twitter defending his time leading the campaign. In August, weeks after the staff shakeup, Parscale tweeted that he was"employee number 1 in 2015 for the exploration committee" and that his team"built the biggest infrastructure in history.

The ship is sinking and the rats are looking for ground road on that isn't surrounded by walls and bars

He’s a good guy. Hope all will be well.

Somebody is working on an insanity plea...

huh......so the police DO know how to handle 'mental health crises' without blowing someone away - who knew?

Being a campaign manager for Trump is the real life equivalent of being a drummer for Spinal Tap. It never ends well.

Hmmmmm ... !!

Amazing that the officers didn't open fire on him the same as they've done to many people in the past that have had a break down.

This is the same guy who was Tweeting about how awesome everything is and now he's in a mental ward on suicide watch.

This election is so important. If Kamala wins, our 1st, 2nd, 4th amendment freedoms are gone for good. It's not about the virus, or social justice, or personalities. Vote for your kids and grandkids freedoms.

jwhoopes2 If i was trumps campaign manager i would also be looking for a way out. Guess whose taking the blame for missing finances.

So sad.....please don’t sensationalize someone’s extreme pain. 😢😢 Pray for Brad

If he really wanted to harm himself, he could have 🤨

Losing jobs, kids scholarships and wanting to take your own life behind trash 🗑 SAD!! Trump doesn’t give a dam about anyone else life except his own!!

Hope he gets the help he needs. And when Trump is out of office, I hope all the people who helped him destroy this country get the help they'll need.

Go to Project_Veritas and watch the BallotHarvesting video. jack won’t allow the link to be shared on certain tweets. Watch, and make up your own mind if MSM is covering fairly.

I truly hope the guy gets help, but more and more of these Trump barnacles are losing their shit.

Why not just write a book

Its what happens working for the Antichrist, evil rubs off. Lie down with dogs etc.....

That’s what Trump does to you

Imagine coming from nothing, taking private jets, and sitting at the most exclusive tables in the world, only to realize you've been made a patsy money launderer for bigger-than-Al-Capone-Money. Yeah, his world is both rocked, and over.

The Dominoes are Self Destructing Before Our Eyes! The Last Hold outs Will be the Trump Family & Kush, Barricaded in the Whitehouse on November 4th, 2020! People will be so Unhappy with them they will Leave in Shame, Now they are a Liability to Putin! In 5 Weeks Time.

I wonder if he's about to get an Epstein?🤔

realDonaldTrump Remember Brad?

Wonder what ole ACB has to say about your 2A Rights now, huh?

Federal prisons will provide good counseling.

Guess he doesn't want to be a part of the criminal sinking ship anymore.

Guilty conscience?

ArtsakhStrong Armenia StopAzerbaijaniAggression TurkeyIsATerrorState

I hope he gets the psych help that he needs. But he still has to face the consequences of his actions.

Wow he must really be guilty of something. They are all going to turn on realDonaldTrump now 😂 TrumpTaxReturns TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpIsNotABillionaire IvankaTrump TaxFraudTrump TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison TrumpCrimeFamilyForPrison2020 LockThemAllUp

Right after the nyt bombshell What a coincidence 🤣

ETTD

Bless him.

Distraction from The New York Times exposing Trump as a tax cheat.

Get well and tell the truth, save our country.

Kitchen is heating up.

Someone's working on their insanity defense.

I guess he shouldn’t have been a criminal

This is what happens when the Feds close in. Suicide is never the answer. I hope he finds the strength to answer for his crimes and make peace with his demons.

'I did the same thing that you're doing now. For ten years. I protected Mr. Trump for ten years.' - Michael Cohen His warning to them: 'The more people that follow Mr. Trump -- as I did blindly -- are going to suffer the same consequences that I'm suffering.' - Michael Cohen

As much as I hate Trump and his effect on his followers, and the path to hell down which he has steadily led them, I sympathize with Brad parscale and wish him a speedy recovery.

It's s shame that people working for the President to try a suicide. How can that happen.. he must knowledge for some of unpleasant details. Maybe he feels guilty for something what he did. He needs help and suicide is not a solution. It's looks like Trump has many dark secrets

Praying for him 🙏🏻

They cuddled him in a blanket and took him to hospital. Good job he was a MAGA supporting white guy!

A very peculiar way of pleading the 5th if you asked me...

Wow, things are falling apart in Trump World.

Now comes the KGB phase of the Trump presidency. Epstein was the first now Parscale or Maxwell will be next.

Perhaps he knows or was part of Trump scheme to skim a few hundred million from the RNC on behalf of Trump -

I wonder if Parscale was Baker Acted because he was really in danger of self-harm or because he wanted a safe place where to negotiate with the justice. He must know a lot of things and the GOP must be worried about what he can tell. Lies have an expiration date. Trump's as well.

He made that bed now sleep in it hopefully in the psych ward than Prison

He's a distraction. Focus on Drumpf's taxes

All the best people.

Every Thing Trump Touches Dies.

just like in the mob world. There’s virtually no way to leave the mob. They say one would have to find a way to disappear. Ever wonder why former tough generals are silent? This is now the state of this country.

visionsurreal This happened when the tax returns story was breaking.

Awwe, he can't pay his Ferrari bill?

Selling your soul to a madman does tend to eventually catch up with you.

visionsurreal A panic attack?

I’m sorry for this news. The state the country is in has caused a lot of depression. Not safe to walk in big cities or even drive for fear of getting attacked by BLMAntifa, idiot governors still holding people hostage with masks & partial lockdowns. MSM fearmongering over covid..

the campaign is actually that bad, huh? Though we may hate everything parscale has done, we want him to recover and be ok. So he can stand investigation for the Trump campaign's finances. Still, we wish him to be well.

My body, my choice.

If I had worked for realDonaldTrump , I might do the same thing. Trump, who is bat-shit crazy, will drive you insane.

May God help him. Maybe he will disclose things he knows.

lol

Does make you wonder why and if there’s a legal indictment coming soon...

tr00p3rr Praying for Brad right now 😢

It’s a distraction. Trump had a really bad day and they need to take the heat off Trump. Parscale is shady.

THE INSANE GERMANS FOLLOWED HITLER, & INSANE AMERICANS FOLLOW INSANE tRUMP. RE-IMPEACH CORRUPT trump AND republicons. FIX CLIMATE CHANGE, NOT ELECTIONS. CON REPUBLICONS KNEW ABOUT CORONA VIRUS FOR YEARS & DID NOTHING BUT CUT THE CDC, VACCINES, W.H.O., ACA HEALTH CARE

Wow, the comments on here are absolutely disgusting! What his family did say was that for years him and his family were attacked and harassed by the left so before you start assumptions why don’t you wait to hear. Evil you people are. God help you 🙏

Its funny how you mention he worked for the Trump campaign, but in reference to the BLM leader trying to murder a Trump supporter, her position as a BLM leader isn't even mentioned.

Stevenmuss69 Brad's acts could be desperation because he knows his world is collapsing, or could be a ploy to set up a future defense to anticipated criminal charges (cf. Vinny 'the chin' Gigante) Or both ....

Incoming comments from the party of compassion

Brad Parscale funnels tens millions into his personal account to avoid public FEC payments to himself and dozens of other, gets demoted, and now he threatens to harm himself for being a fraud and felon? Sounds about right.

This is on Democrats who are cruel, heartless cancelers of lives & people. Someday leftists might want to repent for what they’ve put this country through with their intolerance & immaturity!

OH SHEESH balleralert

Russia after his ass too?

They need to start telling the truth!

😂😂😂

🙏

“.. the firms are “headed by Trump’s recent campaign manager, Brad Parscale, and/or created by Trump campaign lawyers.”

FrankXMjr Everyone off the Trump Titanic it going down!

WheresHillary

All you Trump supporters acting so concerned, like the hypocrites you are.

Remember when they hit us with the mental health, this man lied, cheated and stole from the American people ... and didn't care about who he hurt in the process.

Hmm--What does this👆have to do with the $750 a year tax bombshell from NYTimes? Does Parscale know more than he should? Did he leak? TheResistance SundayThoughts BradParscale FBRParty

Can't say I feel sorry for him. He knew what he was getting into with Trump.

This is happening with Trump people lately.

Hope he gets the help he needs.

Well, well, well... Um, thoughts and prayers? 🤔

Mental health arrests are not supposed to be released to the press, how and why is this a story?

Help is there. Hang on love

This is sad. So sorry he is unwell. I hope he gets the support and get well soon

He may have seen the writing on the wall?

Everyone around Trump comes crashing down. Hopefully no one gets hurt.

Frances_Fisher You've made your bed, Now lie on it.

I am sorry to hear this. Suicide is no joke. I hope Mr. Parscale gets the help he needs. ;

Peace and love for all. ❤

Are the little people & immigrants saving his life or is it just an act by him to avoid some inconvenience? Remember Mussolini, he was also mega inconvenienced

Leftist media attacked this guy to the point of breaking. It’s sad how the media has become so partisan that they attack people to the point of suicide like Jake Gardner.

He is a lunatic! 🤪

But, But Donald only hires the best people. NOT!

Sound like the cards crumbling down lol...

As much as I dislike this man he clearly has mental health issues & hopefully he receives the assistance that the Trump administration denies to millions of veterans.

Just another “good guy with a gun”.

What a snowflake!

Problaby knows too much ...like Epstein

Praying for y’all! So sad if true!

It seems that taking the Trump loyalty pledge comes with a very high price…

Brad leaked the taxes. Safest place for him right now is a mental hospital.

Hopefully he has a full recovery! Don’t give 2 💩’s about 45 & family, but he needs help! TrumpsAmerica

Fvck Him.

ABCnews, you tweet a suicidal man’s personally private health info to the whole world, for politics, and add the “if you are struggling with thoughts of suicide” tag to, what, show you care?

That may be the future of most of Trump cult members🔽

What is wrong w you First abc you need yo publicize someone’s mental breakdown but will not report on Hunter Biden taking money from a Russian mayor?

Suicide is not a joke........lives are being compromised and destroyed !!!!!

This happened after the news about Trump's taxes came out. He knows that he's in some big doo doo

🙏🙏🙏 praying for Brad and his family

House of Cards.

As much as I want to feel sorry for him and his family I'm having a real hard time.

So many prayers for Brad...

Praying for Brad.

I'm sorry to learn this.... These are not the best of times 🙏

His actions are of little human concern. His choice determines his fate in life, snd after life as a human.

he knows where the bodies are

Thoughts and prayers

jessicajbalzer People do reach their limit.

More of this, please.

Did he threaten to vote for Biden?

If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide or worried about a friend or loved one, help is available. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 [TALK] for free confidential emotional support 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

But, but the money, the money boss ... I need haircuts, beard trimin' ain't cheap! Money where's MY money? You promised ...

I hope he gets the help he needs

Well Gosh, I guess he didn’t see that breakdown comin.

The level of stress and anxiety that goes with any job in this WH will eat away your sanity! Get Out!!

RNC caught him embezzling campaign funds?

Trump’s campaign advisor threatening to kill himself at the same time as the release of Trump’s tax info can’t be a coincidence. How long before the “resigned to spend time with family” start appearing from the Trump team?

Hmm, I read that TDS patients were outside his home harassing him. Can't wait to hear what really happened. It is ABC after all, the disgusting organization that buried the Epstein story

Hopefully he gets the help he needs. I can imagine it's a stressful life he's been leading these last several years.

patribotics LouiseMensch

Please, self harm is not something anyone should make fun of!

May God bless and save him

It's TRUE!

Regardless of my opinion of him I hope that he gets the help that he needs.

Atlanta Falcons fan?

And so it begins.

There is nothing funny about suicide. He definitely has a lot of weight on him. Never side up with the devil.

TAXES | TRUMP TAXES | TRUMP TAX FRAUD

I wonder if he's the source!? Good for you dude! VoteHimOut TrumpsTaxes

So many scandals and people still drinking the kool-laid

prepping for insanity plea?

My Prayers are with Brad Parscale and his Family

Quit wasting resources on that trash. First responders have more important things to do. Just send him a pamphlet on suicide awareness & ignore him - like Trump does with veterans.

It must be very hard for a human being to work for little hands man.

I might despise Trump and anyone associated with him but I do hope he gets the help he needs.

trump hires 'only the best people' & then fires them because they're not so good
