It will be interesting to see how the "news media" reports on the shooter at the Trump rally

Thank God President Trump is OK. Sadly, at least one attendee at the rally was killed and another was hurt. Prayers for them. We don't know anything about the shooter yet but almost certainly it was a person of the political Left. The media won't be able to ignore that as they can't ignore this event. Suppose this person was a member of or had association with say, Antifa or BLM? What if it turns out this person voted for Biden or Bernie Sanders and donated to the Democratic party? How will the media cover this? They won't be able to dismiss this person as a "right-wing extremist" or a "maga Republican" as they like to do. We live in uncertain timwes. God Bless Trump and the USA.

Interesting? Try depressing! That would seem to be quite obvious.

This is too big for them to try to bury it like they did with the trans killer in Nashville.

I don’t know. I haven’t seen any reporting on that yet.

I'm guessing the loudest of them will suddenly decide to "take a vacation."

Joy Reid, Whoopsie, Joe Scarborough... I know I'm forgetting a dozen more.

BTW, I(we?) are better than the Democrats. I won’t blame them unless they called for a direct threat of violence against Trump.

Hers’s my prediction of the media spin: “Republican opposition to common-sense gun control comes back to haunt them.”

I just posted this a few minutes ago:


I bet when this is all said and done, the LAAP-dog media will have given the Gabby Giffords shooting more informative coverage than the failed assassination attempt on President Trump.

There will be no Presidential rally speech at a college auditorium like Obama did.

Exactly. They were able to bury that story but not this. I know as much as you or anyone else about who is responsible. But I don’t see a scenario where the shooter was a Conservative or right of center. But who knows? Strange things happen. I just hope we get the truth.

Mainstream Media has failed miserable. I've been reporting in other threads the leading headlines periodically for hours. Very dismissive of the assassination attempt.

Just now:

ABC - Subheading, "possible assassination attempt".

CBS - "Trump injured but safe"

NBC - "investigated as an assassination attempt"

CNN - "investigated as an assassination attempt"

MSNBC - "Trump injured during apparent assassination attempt"

Fox News - "feds investigate as assassination attempt"

That is an improvement from earlier.

If he left a manifesto, or posted his intentions on social media, will we ever get to see it?

Scalise’s shooter was a Bernie Sanders volunteer and it is long forgotten.

“In other news today, candidate Trump fell down after some pops at a rally today, a move that has some experts wondering whether he has the physical stamina needed for holding office.”

You KNOW someone is going to report this sort of thing.

The whole situation will be massaged to make thge DEep STae have cover.

Look. tgere were only a few buildings that had roofs with a direct line of sight shot at the podium. Yet t here ws no officer on the roof of the AGI buik=lding at those faorgrounds in Butler PA.

THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A JOB THAT WAS PLANNED AND EXECUTED BY THE DEEP STATE, THE SAME CADRE WHO HAVE BEEN PERSECUTING TRUMP SINCE 2016.
