'Staged Theatrics to Get the Votes of Idiots': Clownish Professor Declares Trump Shooting 'Faked'
RedState ^ | 7/16/1947 | Mike Miller

OK, so here's the thing. Regardless of which side of the political spectrum trots out unfounded conspiracy theories, I disdain them. My thoughts are much stronger, but we'll just leave it at that for now.

That said, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ain't got nothin' on a University of Virginia associate professor who claims the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Saturday was a "staged event for suckers." Yeah. Sethunya Mokoko made the incredulous claim, based on zero facts.

Within minutes of the attempt on Trump's life, the "staging theory" went viral and was eagerly embraced by many on the left. Actress Amanda Seales, for example, claimed on social media that Trump used fake stage blood and sound effects to stage his assassination attempt. Nuts? Of course. (See: "left-wing loons.")

That s**t was more staged than a Tyler Perry production of 'Madea Runs for President.' I lived in Harlem long enough to know that gunshots do not sound like making popcorn on the stove.

Moreover, Mokoko "explained," as noted by George Washington University Law Professor and Fox News senior legal analyst Jonathan Turley, that the assassination attempt was just a ploy to get the votes of “idiots.”

He [Mokoko], however, is available to offer sage-like clarity that the Secret Service, local police, and the Trump campaign conspired to fake the assassination, kill a bystander, and seriously wound others to get the sucker vote. He is not alone in this theory while others on the left are simply bemoaning that Thomas Matthew Crooks missed.

In his tweet, Mokoko said that security 'ignored [Crooks] because trump & secrete service staged theatrics to win idiots’ vote.'

So let me get the conspiracy down. The Secret Service allowed a kid who flunked out of the high school shooting club as a bad shot to fire multiple rounds at the former president from a sloped roof at 130 yards in the hope that he would only wing him?

He is not alone. Within minutes of the assassination attempt, the staging theory was going viral and has been picked up by many on the left. For example, actress Amanda Seales took to social media to claim that Trump used fake stage blood and sound effects to stage his assassination attempt.

Rational? Of course, not. Whacked-out conspiracy theories never are.

Ironically, as Turley noted, Mokoko claims in his bio that his focus is on “teaching students to appreciate and value social justice rhetorics across media; to become rhetorically listening writers, readers, and viewers; and to understand how global rhetorics shape and define agency and identification.”

"Social justice rhetoric?"

I have no idea what the nut-job associate professor meant, but I'm pretty sure that declaring an attempt to kill a former president of the United States "faked" doesn't qualify as "social justice rhetoric."

Incidentally, Amanda Seales "forgot" to explain how Corey Comperatore, 50, who served as the fire chief for Buffalo Township in Pennsylvania, was killed by a "fake" bullet.

Well given the fundamental idiot you have to be in order to be a Lefty, no surprise the Alt Left clown show is believing this complete imbecility.

This is the SOP for the Alt Left running the US Democrat party. Truth does not matter, only any lie that validates their infantile emotional hysteric world view

It’s hard to believe, but the title “Professor” once commanded respect.

Staged complete with dead guy and wounded people. As conspiracy theories go this one is worse than the one’s about Elvis and UFO’s.

The only upside to high visibility national tragedies or crisis is that it reveals the evil kindred criminal and low IQ beings among us and, in many cases, they are very close by. It’s an opportunity to add names to a list.

Don’t scorn ohm. It takers a real genius to turn one wounded ex-president one dead bad guy, a dead hero (the fire chief) and two additional wounded...into a fake scene.

There will be even more talent required to hide of the fired LEO’s over the next few months.

Indeed ... we have two wounded, one dead due to extreme incompetence or extreme malice on the part of a government agency ...

And this POS says it was staged?

I’d call that defamation.
