NEW YORK – The woman who fired a gun at President Gerald Ford in 1975 and spent the next 32 years in prison said in an interview Thursday that she believed the country would change only through a violent revolution.
Sara Jane Moore told NBC's "Today" that she now realizes that her actions, stemming from her involvement in radical politics, were "wrong ... a serious error."
In Sept. 22, 1975, Moore, then around 45, fired on Ford as he waved to a crowd in San Francisco. A man near her knocked the pistol out of her hand and the shot went astray. It was the second failed attempt on Ford's life in less than three weeks.
Moore was sentenced to life in prison but released on parole in December 2007. She has lived in an undisclosed location since then.

When I saw ‘75 Gerald Ford, the first thing I thought of was a Granada.
Seeing how things are shaking out, with Zeros racist income redistribution schemes in place, and his attacks on the productive, Charlie Manson may still get his Helter Skelter race war.
that is exactly what William Ayers and his organization stated loudly and often. He promoted a violent revolution to remove the government and the capitalist way of life. No secret here, it is a matter of record.
“She has lived in an undisclosed location since then.”
She’s now living in Biden’s basement... amazing.
“It was the second failed attempt on Ford’s life in less than three weeks.”
I have never understood anyone wanting to harm the hapless, harmless Gerald Ford.
People truly ARE brainwashed by these lefty groups. And they claim that those of us with legal firearms are the PROBLEM? Yeesh!
“I have never understood anyone wanting to harm the hapless, harmless Gerald Ford”
Like you, I also was brainwashed at a younger age by the Republican-conservative hating MSM. Do some serious reading regarding Mr Ford and I think you will find a man with quaities that most of us would aspire to.
“My fellow Americans,” he said, “our long national nightmare is over. Our Constitution works. Our great republic is a government of laws and not of men. Here the people rule.”
And, true to his reputation as unassuming Jerry, he added: “I am acutely aware that you have not elected me as your president by your ballots. So I ask you to confirm me with your prayers.” ~ Gerald R. Ford, upon taking office
He had me at, “My fellow Americans...” :)
