Former President Donald Trump survives assassination attempt at Pennsylvania rally.
Former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Video footage shows Trump being struck by something, believed to be a bullet, while shots rang out in the background. Secret Service agents quickly huddled around the former president, who was ultimately carried off stage while pumping his fist into the air.
The gunman has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. The motive behind the shooting is still unclear, but given the current political climate, it is not surprising that such an incident would occur. Democrats and anti-Trumpers have spent the past three years calling the political opposition a life-or-death threat, and have even gone so far as to compare Trump to Hitler.
This is not the first time that Trump has been the target of violence. In 2017, a Democrat voter shot up a baseball field of recreating Republicans, hitting a Congressman and others, because he hated Donald Trump. It is clear that the left is willing to resort to violence in order to achieve their political goals.
Roger Stone, a longtime ally of Trump, responded to the attempted assassination by saying that "this is what happens when the left is allowed to control the narrative." He went on to say that "the left has been demonizing Trump and his supporters for years, and it is no surprise that someone would take matters into their own hands."
The stakes in this election are higher than ever before. With Joe Biden's poor performance in the first debate, it is clear that the Democrats are in trouble. The left is desperate to regain power, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
This assassination attempt is a clear sign that the left is willing to resort to violence in order to achieve their political goals. It is important for all Americans to stand up against this kind of behavior and to support those who are fighting for freedom and democracy.
The former president is reportedly okay, and our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who may have been injured at the rally. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
