Shooting at Trump Rally Comes at Volatile Time in American History
The New York Times | Yahoo ^ | July 14, 2024 | By Peter Baker, Simon J. Levien and Michael Gold

WASHINGTON — The shots rang out at 6:10 p.m. Former President Donald Trump clutched his right ear as blood spurted out, then ducked for cover as supporters screamed and Secret Service agents raced to surround and protect him.

Within moments, someone shouted “shooter down,” and the agents, agitated but in control, began moving Trump offstage to safety. “Wait, wait, wait, wait,” he called out, then made a point of pumping his fist at the crowd and seemed to defiantly shout, “Fight! Fight!” The crowd roared and responded with chants of “USA! USA!”

For the first time in more than four decades, a man who was elected president of the United States was wounded in an assassination attempt when a gunman who appeared to have crawled onto a nearby roof opened fire at Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening. The explosion of political violence came at an especially volatile moment in American history and further inflamed an already stormy campaign for the White House.

Hey! New Yawk Slimes!

It wasn’t a “shooting at Trump rally.”

It was an attempted assassination of a Presidential candidate who was probably going to win.

This?

This is what The New York Times chooses to cover?

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate has a propaganda arm and it includes The New York Times.

Good boy! Good boy, New York Times!

You must be so proud of working for your criminal Democrat masters.

And why is that, GnuYakThymes? Maybe because the Junta has been fomenting violence since Barry Sotero illegally obtained the Presidency since he was born in Kenya? Oh wait.

More volatile than when Antifa and BLM were burning down cities from sea to shining sea?

Trump has often been accused of fomenting violence, most notably on Jan. 6, 2021, when he encouraged a throng of supporters to march on the Capitol, where they ransacked the building in an attempt to stop Congress from ratifying Biden’s election victory.

New York Times - stirring the pot with this comment that's mostly a lie ... well gives the impression Trump wanted a riot. Which is the lie.

Yep, when your opponent really hasn’t done anything substantive you can always blame him for “creating an atmosphere”. The NYT really does have no shame.

Headlined as if the shooting and the volatile times are not connected?

NY slimes spins away the connection.

The Secret Service is compromised. How in the world does Obama get big tough men as his security detail and Trump gets maybe a couple of tall men with muscle on them and the rest are short women? It is a sham it is a scam and the fix is in. They’re gonna try it again. The assassination failed the next Insurance policy they have is to sabotage his plane. Bank on it! Don’t think for one minute they’re not gonna try. They prepped this snotty little idiot to do their bidding for them don’t think for one minute they can’t bribe the mechanics $$$$$$ to do something to his plane. They are Evil and ruthless. Look at the mediapukes already faulting trump for the shooting because of his rhetoric language!! This is insanity we’re living in a country that sooner or later we’re just gonna have to clean house nothing else will do.
