Gunfire erupted at a Donald Trump rally on Saturday, sparking panic in the crowd and spattering the Republican presidential candidate with blood, before he emerged and defiantly pumped his fist in the air and was ushered to a waiting car.
Trump grimaced and grabbed his ear before security hustled him away, his red "Make America Great Again" hat knocked off. The Secret Service and the former president's campaign said Trump was safe following the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles (50 km) north of Pittsburgh.
Live video showed blood spattered on Trump's right cheek and ear.
Downing Street in the United Kingdom issued a statement about the shooting:
“We are shocked by the scenes at President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. We condemn all forms of political violence in the strongest terms and we send our best wishes to President Trump and his family at this time."

The blood of the person who died along with the two in critical condition and President Trump is on FJB and the entirety of the demonrats who called for this horror. If this doesn’t wake up the voters, nothing will.
So what happened to that “Violeta” character we were told was the assassin yesterday?
What happened to the “Chinese National” we were told was the assassin yesterday?
[What happened to the “Chinese National” we were told was the assassin yesterday?]
That’s what one of my friends related to me last night in early reporting
OK...as a 25 year member...maybe 24 :)....this one is iffy.
Biden’s trash...as are obama and the clintons and on and on.
But putting a political bullseye on someone to me means trying to focus on beating Trump and not discussing how old and senile the president is...he is :)
In retrospect, it was a bad choice of words...with how heated the election is.
But I don’t think it was an order to execute Trump.
But what do I know? :)
And I doubt this piece of garbage from PA even read about that. Little punk.
Sadly heroin/fentanyl use is cery common in rural America among young men. Would nt be surprised if this man was using drugs, became paranoid and influenced by the hate Trump rhetoric carried out his crazy, murderous act. If this guy was aimless after high school, he would have been far better off if he had joined or been drafted into the Armed Forces. Drugs and Democratic hate is a ruinous combination.

Does the choice of words qualify as “violent rhetoric?” Treat the left they way they treat the right. Its time to rub their noses into the mess they made.
It was the rhetoric by Biden and AOC and Pelosi and Schumer and Jeffreis and all democrats in leadership positions.
What democrats regret today is not that there was an attempt on Trump’s life; what they regret is that, it wasn’t successful.
BTW, the FBI leadership is also to blame, as well as the DOJ leadership and the Secret Service. Far too many in government agencies who were/are complicit in the attempt.
The FBI should not be trusted to conduct the investigation. They are Trump’s enemy. They wanted him out since before his first term, and they still want him out.
Part of the investigation should include questions as to why the shooter had to die, when it was perhaps just as easy to disable him and keep him available for questioning. Somebody wanted the shooter dead before he could be questioned.
What was the quote from Biden a few weeks ago about Trump having a surprise coming soon.
Is inciting to assassination considered a High Crime or just a Misdemeanor???
- Just asking for a mentally-challenged chief executive
You win :)
I’ve been saying a long time it’s time to stop being the gentleman loser that Rs are too often.
Great point!
“This inflammatory rhetoric by Biden incited Thomas Crooks’ heinous attack.”
maybe, or the shooter was part of the plan
the shooter was in effect escorted to the roof top AND ALLOWED TO FIRE.
When it comes to violence against Presidents and congress people since 1960, the one common strain is that the attempted assassin was either a left wing nutjob or the target was a Republican and , in most cases, both. Dem President JFK killed by communist Oswald, Republican President Ford’s two attempted assassins were a left wing nutjob and anarchist Squeaky Fromme, Republican President Reagan shot by regular nutjob, Republican majority leader Scalise shot by left wing nut job, Democrat Congressperson Giffords shot by left wing nutjob, Republican President Trump shot by left wing nutjob donating to Progressive Act Blue and nominally registered as a Republican.
Right, and it’s not new or is it limited to what Joe said. If you recall, Liberals have been making THE most inexcusably seditious and inflammatory things for a very long time now !
I asked myself that question.
But the NYP published a pic of the shooter in his cap and gown and head on he does look a bit Chinese.
Could be. That shirt has a design (flag?) on the right sleeve and Demolition Ranch sells a shirt like that.
The shooter was a desirable asset.
He was recruited and had a handler.
He knew that the counter snipers had him in their sights and he could only get off a couple of shots.
They gave him eight which was more than he probably thought he could get off.
I fear the Deep State has a lot more just as threatening.
