Former President Donald Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday months after House Democrats proposed legislation to remove his Secret Service protection.
Democrat Bennie Thompson, the ranking member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, introduced the Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081) on April 19. Democrat Reps. Yvette D. Clarke, Troy A. Carter Sr., Frederica Wilson, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, Barbara Lee, and Steve Cohen co-sposnsored the bill.
“Former President Donald J. Trump’s unprecedented 91 felony charges in Federal and State courts across the country have created a new exigency that Congress must address to ensure Secret Service protection does not interfere with the criminal judicial process and the administration of justice,” Thompson wrote in a fact sheet regarding the act. “The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act would terminate Secret Service protection for individuals who otherwise qualify for it upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State felony.”
Thompson tweeted a response following the assassination attempt on Saturday evening, writing he was “glad the former President is safe” and “grateful for law enforcement’s fast response.” The U.S. Secret Service rushed Trump off of the stage immediately after shooting and killing the alleged shooter.

This has been going on for some time, but there is still a question whether Secret Service protection is robust enough for Trump. He is always #1 on the left's hate list, in spite of Biden's occasional assurances to the contrary.

I would like to see DC cherry trees in the futures of that list of DNC assassin scum.

I hate these people. I would crawl across broken glass to vote any and all of them out of office.

Every politician who so moved, should be in fear for their own lives.

I just watched a Secret Service Press conference (with no Secret Service officials there) flatly denying that Trump had inadequate protection. We can believe our government, right?

The Rep. Thompson say he was withdrawing his legislative proposal?

Seeing how the Secret Service left the roof unguarded, and they took so long jumping in to cover Trump. I’m beginning to wonder if this was all done on purpose. Maybe they hate Trump as much as the FBI.
It might be a good idea to get rid of the Secret Service, and he gets his own people in there.

RFK, Jr. as well. There is absolutely NO reason to allow political opponents to decide whether you have protection or not. It’s ludicrous.

We've got to find six ways from Sunday to get these scum (and all demonic-rat scum -- including scum-schumer) out of office.

Government sniper had the assassin in his sights from the opposite rooftop and let him get shots off before killing him. Watch.

One needs to ask the question - if the FBI can’t be trusted and perpetrated a lawfare coup against the President, if the CIA can’t be trusted as it spread lies about Russia-gate, If Homeland Security can’t be trusted because it has corrupted social media
If all institutions of Federal Government have revealed themselves as plotters and woke Anti-Trump, anti-MAGA apparatchiks
WHY should Secret Service be trusted?

Then they are flatly lying. That is as plainly evident as the nose on a face.
So they are declaring which side of the line they are on then.
I figured as much, didn’t need their affirmation.

To: UnwashedPeasant
Not let shooter shoot first. Someone must have given a don’t shoot first order. That needs to be investigated.

Is this to be taken metaphorically or literally? Remember, J6 Dems insisted that Trump's "Fight like hell" on J6 was literal:

They shouldn’t, of course.
Now, how did all these agencies get stocked up with all these winners so thoroughly and quickly?
That is a mystery.

They did take quite a long time to cover him, didn't they? Earlier today, even Hannity & his guests on fox were praising the SS for how quickly they covered him, but it really did seem like quite a long time before they actually got there.
During the police presser tonight (seen on CNN), I swear CNN was showing a speeded-up version of the clip of the SS covering President Trump. If you watched that and saw the agents running/scurrying about after the shots started, the video looked goofy, like a sped-up comedy film.
