Washington — President Biden spoke Sunday about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, saying he is directing an independent review of the security and events at the Pennsylvania rally to determine what went wrong. The president said he will speak to the nation further from the Oval Office Sunday night.
One spectator was killed at the rally and two were critically wounded. Trump was injured with a graze wound to his ear. Mr. Biden said he wants to ensure Trump gets the security he needs.
"Last night, I spoke with Donald Trump," the president said in his Sunday afternoon remarks. "I'm sincerely grateful that he's doing well and recovering. We had a short but good conversation. Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers. We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim that was killed."
The president also spoke briefly Saturday night in Delaware after Trump, with blood visible on his face, was whisked off stage at a Pennsylvania rally when a gunman's bullet grazed his ear. The president, who has been updated regularly by top administration officials, received another briefing in the White House Situation Room on Sunday.
"We don't yet have any information about the motive of the shooter, we know who he is," the president said Sunday, without naming the suspect, who was identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after opening fire.
If Trump is an Insurrectionist then Biden is an assassin. His rhetoric demanded an assassination of Trump.
his polling must be in the toilet...
Ever the schemers, the left is doing what they can to use this to their advantage, since they failed at executing Trump.
“Independent” my rear. They will make sure nothing comes of it at all. Damage control.
You investigate AFTERWARD. Collect witness statements now but for goodness sakes don’t distract security trying to prevent future actions.
Unless... you are trying to overwhelm and confuse those people trying to strengthen security.
Don’t matter what Bidon does. He’s now history and will never be reelected. The cheat won’t work this time. Bet the rent.
“A little overkill as far as comments for someone who allegedly had nothing to do with it.”
Yep. Kind of telling. feels like an admission of guilt and “concern trolling”. Even Bush went out of his way to chime in. Probably only because the shooter missed and he wants to deflect before fingers get pointed. He could care less what happens to Trump. Both want Trump dead.
Bullcrap.
This will be taped between 10am-4 pm.
I find the two addresses in a day at this point perplexing as well. He made a statement yesterday. Very little new info as come out, so wny not wait and do one prime time address.
And why would we trust Joe Biden to conduct any investigation that is truthful?
I know I sure do not.
Bastard will use this as a campaign speech and badmouth Trump while saying it is Trump’s own fault because he won’t support gun control.
You mean the burner phones?
Hah.
Put her under oath and give her a polygraph.
He should call off his media vipers!
FJB
Yawn.
The Biden Commission.
Little known fact about the Warren Commission.
The FBI collected many witness statements that proved Oswald was on the second floor at the time of the assassination.
He was getting change for a dollar from a coworker when the shots rang out outside and all the workers (including Oswald) looked out the window to see what the noise was.
The FBI gave the witnesses testimony to the Warren Commission.
The Warren Commission buried it but did not destroy it—and it was released a couple of years ago.
The Mockingbird mass media ignored it.
It is possible to properly collect evidence—as long as the public does not know about it “the narrative” can be preserved for many decades.
“Investigate” = Fabricate the talking points blaming “extreme maga republicans”
The head of the SS is a brain dead DEI hire—if SS folks were in on a conspiracy (very likely imho) there is no way they would brief an idiot like her.
Just another campaign opportunity. Does anyone feel better? I know I don’t.
The Stroke Commission with Stroke as Chairman, and Stroke's girlfriend, Comey, Wray, Brennan, and Clapper as members. As "impartial" as the J6 Committee.
Independent investigation to uncover and hide any evidence before anyone else finds it...
