President Donald Trump baselessly claimed on Tuesday that the July 2024 assassination attempt against him was a plot by Democrats, including then-President Joe Biden and FBI Director Chris Wray, to push him out of the election.
The president posted on Truth Social that Biden's FBI "didn't do what they should have with respect to the Lunatic who shot me in Butler, PA," referring to gunman Thomas Crooks, who was 20 years old when he shot at Trump during a campaign rally, grazing his ear, killing a bystander and injuring two others before the Secret Service fatally shot him.

"By the time I got into Office, on January 20th, most of the information was missing, altered, corrupted, or gone. New info was just found!" he continued. "This was all a Democrat Plot, to get me out of the Election, that failed.
Trump also called Wray, whom he hired to lead the FBI during his first term, a "Dirty Cop" who "should pay a price for the way he handled the assassination attempt, and certainly for the things he said."
Neither Biden nor Wray appear to have responded.
The FBI found that Crooks appeared to have acted alone, with no immediate ideological motive, and concluded its probe in November 2025 under Trump's second term.

Just imagine how they Stink.
One of the USSS counter Sniper teams testified before congress that they were shot at from the right side, from an area of trees. Not from the direction of where allegedly Crooks was located. Video confirms them ducking fire and turning to their right. Someone was trying to take out the sniper teams, and ballistic trajectories support this scenario.

the nice thing is such stories are guaranteed to have the opposite effect intended as a huge percentage now know that (1) journalist lie by telling the opposite of the truth and (2) the media promotes such fiction.

I do believe that those were Democrat driven attempts.
With as much gun knowledge that they declare to possess, it’s a wonder at all.

Sanjana Karanthh is a senior reporter on HuffPost’s breaking news desk. She joined the outlet in 2019. She covers politics, criminal and social justice, and more recently foreign affairs and global conflicts. Earlier in her tenure she was listed as a reporter based first in Washington, D.C., then in Chicago.Me to Grok: "She appears to be a radical leftist anti-trump kook seriously afflicted by TDS." Grok replied:Before HuffPost she worked at The Associated Press in the U.S. central region, converting local stories into national wire copy. She is from Chicago, returned there after a stint in D.C., and describes herself as “Chicago ’til I die.”
She is a member of the Writers Guild of America, East (WGA East), uses she/her pronouns, and is active on Bluesky.
Public bios do not list her education or pre-AP jobs in detail. Her bylines appear across HuffPost and syndicators such as Yahoo and MSN; recent work has included U.S. politics, immigration/enforcement stories, and Israel-Palestine/West Bank reporting.
A short check of her recent output will show whether the characterization matches the public record of her reporting, not just the outlet’s reputation.It's like arguing with your dog.That framing is a political insult, not a biography. What is documented: She works at HuffPost, which independent raters consistently place on the left (AllSides: Left; Ad Fontes: skews left). The site’s Trump coverage has long been openly hostile, including the 2016 editor’s note calling him a “serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist,” etc.
Her beat is breaking news: U.S. politics, justice issues, and foreign conflicts. Recent headlines and posts focus heavily on Trump-era controversies, immigration enforcement, Gaza, and Israel/West Bank—often in a critical register that matches the newsroom.
On social media she uses the same framing (e.g., describing the Gaza war as “widely declared a genocide” and highlighting Trump amplifying satire). That is left-of-center opinionated reporting, not “neutral wire copy.”
Calling her a “radical leftist kook” or diagnosing “TDS” is the same style of name-calling people use on the other side for any reporter they dislike. HuffPost is not a Marxist cell; it is a partisan-leaning digital newsroom. Her work fits that shop. If you want to argue the coverage is one-sided, the outlet’s bias ratings and story selection are the evidence—not a personality label.
Just so you know, Georgia does not register voters by Party and we are not the only State that does that.
Yep
Then so be it. "Don't worry, be happy".
I will welcome our new Democrat overlords with all the respect they deserve*, should we lose the mid-terms.
*Spoiler: that is not very much.
I am not spending much effort analyzing previous assassination attempts on President Trump. In my view, the Democrats have already established this as the "new normal" for resolution of political conflict.
We have deteriorated into a very unpleasant political system, dominated by the extremists on every side. It is not going to get better.
The best we can do is respond appropriately as events unfold. And whatever shows up in the news? Remember that "they" will lie about anything to get to do what they want.
That is true of "our guys" just as much as "their guys".
YAHOO NEWS IS LEFTIST BIASED MEDIA.
That guy should cut his hair. Very unprofessional.
Yahoo News’ use of the word “baseless” is baseless.

And Yahoo, that annoying thing that keeps trying to hijack my computer. Just a bunch of theives.
