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.

At this point, I don’t care what Biden and his handlers or mockingbirds in the media have to say.

And in other news....

Dubya was reading a book to some children yesterday, when somebody whispered into his ear “bad news sir, the shooter we groomed and trained missed”.

Mitch McConnell was quoted as saying “I’m tired of all this bad aim”.

Jill is paranoid——she wants Joe out there———he’s being
marginalized, diminished by the groundswell of support for Trump.

I don’t trust the regime at all. The guy on the roof not being seen? Was there only one shooter from the right? Plus this weird youtube video:

So it’s time to slip “I hereby resign from the presidency. No takebacks,” into his teleprompter feed.

Keep Biden away from Trump because he will get the Nordberg treatment.

Could be he’s announcing that the former Pepsi girl and current Secret Service head has tendered her resignation or has been politely “asked to resign.”

Leave it to Biden to try to use this as an excuse for another campaign speech.”

That is exactly what he has been doing since it happened. He is trying to steal as much of the light as he can. “Independent review” aka cover up.

“Don’t be surprised if Biden withdraws from the Presidential Race tonight.”

I really don’t think he going anywhere.

Screw your "independent review", Bidendropov. You have NO power, you have NO authority. You are DISMISSED. This country HAS NO PRESIDENT, this country HAS NO VICE-PRESIDENT.

The House has put a stake in the ground and your appointee sKankberly Cheatem will be giving it all up under oath a week from tomorrow. She will point the finger at Mayorkas (who really should have been impeached) and Mayorkas will point the finger at y. o. u.

And then the White Hospice is gonna have one too many problems to deal with -- Comer also wants to talk to your Dr. Kevin O’Connor about his 'business dealings' with the Biden Crime Family and Big Jim's "Americore". Talk about someone ready to give it all up under oath!
