‘It’s All Over’: Stephen A. Smith Says Shooter ‘Handed Donald Trump The Election’
Daily Caller ^ | 16 July 2024 | JASON COHEN

Posted on 07/16/2024 7:19:48 AM PDT by Sam77

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on Monday that the man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump guaranteed his victory in the upcoming election.

Trump survived the attempt on his life by now-deceased 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with the former president pumping his fist as he departed with blood on his face after a bullet grazed his head. Smith on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” said his opinion is that this incident ensured Trump would win and that his legal cases would be terminated.

Yep, not only that but there was a hit team in Chicago for JFK.
Not only that, but “they” had plans forJFK in Tampa as well.

“As I watched our next president’s face at the convention last night, I thought that I saw the effect of that warning.”

No kidding. I’ve never seen Trump so peaceful and almost beatific as he was at the RNC Convention. Such strength. Mere mortals would be railing against the evil.

No one has "handed" Trump a thing. He has earned it by sticking to his guns, staying on message and mission and convincing the American people that he is the best man for the job. That this way is the best way to preserve The United States.

Don't allow them to dilute or deflect how this moment has come to pass. This isn't because of the government patsy who tried to kill Trump. It's because the public is rejecting the values and policies of the socialists and globalists.

The Secret Service like the Biden Administration is incompetent.

While I'm inclined to agree with that, there remains a lot of information lacking to make a final assessment as to whether this was incompetence or willful negligence.

But I do concur with a previous poster that the world witnessed the sovereign hand of God intervene in this matter.

Good post and 100% true. Evil never sleeps and always gets more evil as time passes. The DS and Dems are pure evil.

I guess it is no longer a “secret” that the “secret” service is at best incompetent. At worst they are complicit.

The "legal cases would be terminated" thing is not going to happen. The Democrats will continue waging lawfare against Trump. Even the case that was thrown out yesterday by Judge Cannon is being appealed. This crap is going to be going on for years - probably after Trump's second term ends.

Welcome to the party, Stephen A. Smiff. It’s been over since before the debate. Now, we are just making it harder to steal.

It’s the same baseless hatred (Hebrew: “sinat khinam”) that helped to destroy the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Quoting from this article...
https://www.thejc.com/judaism/jewish-words/sinat-chinam-xtfv89rz

“Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, first Chief Rabbi of Israel, famously wrote that if the Second Temple was destroyed and the people scattered through sinat chinam, then the Temple will be rebuilt and the people gathered together again though ahavat chinam, causeless love.”

More about it here.

They said the same thing in 2020. That the Antifa/BLM riots guaranteed Trump’s reelection.

Naah. It was decided years ago when y’all commie trash trotted out a pedo for Pres.

But, look on the bright side. Think about all the money you will save in bribing enough people to force the PedoPres to step down. No sense to it now — unless your 2nd hired killer is a better shot.

It’s no longer about who will win or lose and election.

The Democrat Party is an existential threat to the US Constitution.

Why is a sports network commenting on elections, other than to the Hall of Fame? Is electoral politics considered a sport today?

IMHO, many sports commentators look up to "news" commentators and want to join them in the "big leagues" of reporting, seeing sports reporting as minor leagues. Plus, with ESPN's history, Stephen A might be trying to be the next Keith Olbermann: whom many believe is the #1 reason ESPN got into political commentating and he went on to do "reporting" at a political "news" network.

You are absolutely correct. We’ve never been subjected to this level of Evil.

Yes, they have many tools including taking down all or part of the Grid, Sleeper Cells, the Economy, burning cities/paid Social Unrest, etc. Paralysis....

We can put nothing past them.

I still have it at 50-50 that we have an election. Soon to go to 60-40.

His team coming into the RNC building was noticeably beefier, taller and male!

><

I noticed that, too. And there were a lot of them. I counted 7 at one time who were surrounding DJT. And they looked serious and alert.

Images of a bleeding President Trump, in front of a waving U.S. flag, standing tall with his fist in the air, shouting “Fight!”, are burned into the minds of patriotic Amercans.

However, Americans also need to realize that, in Butler, PA, the United States was about a quarter-inch away from disaster and collapse.
