On September 22, 1975, Sara Jane Moore aims a gun at President Gerald Ford as he leaves the Saint Francis Hotel in San Francisco, California. The attempt on the president’s life came only 17 days after another woman had tried to assassinate Ford while he was on his way to give a speech to the California legislature in Sacramento.
Moore’s attempt was thwarted by a bystander, Oliver Sipple, who instinctively grabbed Moore’s arm when she raised the gun. She was able to fire off one shot, but it failed to find its target. Secret Service agents quickly hustled Ford into a waiting vehicle and sped him to safety.

Everything old is new again, with democrat radicals trying to assassinate a Republican.
The last five attempted presidential assassination attempts have been against Republicans (2 Ford, 1 Reagan, 2 Trump) yet we’re labeled the dangerous, anti-democracy, gun freaks!
Excellent summary!!
Ford’s would-be assassins were Manson-gang crazies!
Trump’s would-be assassins are of a different sort altogether!
Ford’s would-be assassins were Manson-gang crazies!
Trump’s would-be assassins are of a different sort altogether!
I don’t see any real difference.

Trump’s would-be assassins are crazies, but they do not belong to a particular movement like Manson’s.
3 attempts on Trump.

Golf course.
Both of Ford’s attempted assassins are still alive and no longer incarcerated.
When Sarah Jane Moore’s name was made public some newsman did some snooping and found she was once found passed out outside the White House in a WAC uniform in the late 1940s or 1950s.
When she escaped from prison in 1979, it was said she was trying to catch a ride to the Washington DC area.
Forgot about that one.
Plus the myriad of “political assassinations” the Rats have perpetrated against Trump.
No one else in the world would put up with one hundredth what he’s been through, yet he’s here fighting harder than ever.
Incredible will!
Some have researched and believe the Manson group was a CIA plot to foment racial tensions to create widespread division and riots in order to increase the power of the government and control over the citizens.
I agree with nesnah - no different than the Democrats in power today.
“Incredible will!”
He is an amazing man. Even Democrats loved him when they thought he was one of them.

Abe Lincoln shows how long they had that agenda about Republicans the democrats have been tied to every communist and left wing group from the day the party was formed.

Ironic, since the Communist Americans who went to Spain to fight Franco in the Spanish Civil War created “The Abraham Lincoln Brigade”.
