Fox News host Sean Hannity reacted to the press conference from law enforcement officials on Sunday about the assassination attempt on former President Trump.
“I got to be honest, it’s disturbing. Just to give you a little bit of detail as to what happened when the shooting occurred: The president confirmed the story. They heard pop, pop, pop, pop. They knew it was a gunshot. Immediately, within seconds, the president was on the ground covered by brave Secret Service agents,” Hannity said. “But to not have that perimeter with a fence… somebody has the ability to to get within that range of the president with a scope on an AK-47 is just simply unacceptable.”
Hannity called out law enforcement for claiming the protection was appropriate for a presidential candidate, “exactly what it should have been.”
“What they said was, ‘Well, he’s not the current president.’ He’s a former president who just survived a recent assassination attempt… We need answers,” Hannity said. “The security threat is real.”

“Why didn’t they have either security cameras? Why didn’t they have motion detectors? Why didn’t they have somebody outside the on the street where the shooter was located looking in on this? …This is a security failure again, and there’s really no other way to put it,” he added. “It is a miracle that man is alive today.”
The FBI said it responded to West Palm Beach, Florida, and is investigating what appears to be a second assassination attempt on former President Trump at Trump International Golf Club. The suspect has been identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News. The assassin was allegedly armed with a rifle when agents fired at him.

Trump released a statement shortly after the incident, stating, “I am Donald J. Trump. FEAR NOT! I am safe and well, and no one was hurt. Thank God! But, there are people in this world who will do whatever it takes to stop us. I will not stop fighting for you. I will Never Surrender! I will always love you for supporting me. Through our UNITY we will Make America Great Again!”
The incident comes approximately two months after an assassination attempt on Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“And the media needs to not ignore this. I don’t want to see any elected official ever in any situation where they’re threatened. And this is not political for me in any way, and I want our nation safe and secure,” Hannity said.

I’ve been upset all night.
.
Hannity still supports the Ukraine funding Scam, and gave maniac Sean Penn 30 minutes unopposed on National TV.
Fox worked hard for a long time to move untraced Fortunes to Ukraine and the Dems.
...gave maniac Sean Penn 30 minutes...
Which side is he on?.................😏
When I first read it on the ‘net I thought it was a sick joke someone was playing.................
It’s so nervous ever since. This is the second time this has happened to President Trump I just don’t know what to do with myself. I have anxiety problems to begin with so it’s not helping.
You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if they trick up something that looks like a Harris ass-assination attempt to garner sympathy for her.
The Dems’ internal polling must be not, as the “polls” tell us, too close to call ... but grim as in we have to take him out because he’s going to win.
It would be par for the course...................
Yes, their internal polling probably is disastrous..................
The first attempt was unthinkable until it happened.
The USSS either didn’t take this seriously or they were willing to allow another attempt or help with one.
There will be more attempts because the feds are encouraging this and allowing it.
They keep saying they did not have a huge asset presence there to protect Trump because he’s just a former president.
He’s a CURRENT friggin presidential candidate!! Former president or not, that’s not important!! Killing a former president would most likely not change history. Killing a presidential candidate very well could!!!
WTH??!
I just let The Lord take care of it.
It’s beyond my control......................
Amen
Was his plans to play at this particular golf course at this time/day posted somewhere? Was it public knowledge? Where would a potential assassin get this info? And why would it be posted?
AFAIK, no......................
No weapon formed against President Trump will prosper. Join many of us in faith as we pray and proclaim this scriptural passage over him. Divine protection!
Civil, Criminal, and Physical attacks have all failed but I don’t see an end to this as long as the MSM and Facebooks keep programming people to accept socialism and hate everyone else.
Now Chris Wray has two shooters he has to hide their identities.
