Exclusive — Lee Zeldin: Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump ‘Breaking Point’ for Many Voters on the Fence
Breitbart ^ | 07/16/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

Posted on 07/16/2024 2:05:32 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump served as a “breaking point” for many voters on the fence in the 2024 election, former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said during a sit-down interview with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Boyle pointed out that many at the convention are keenly aware of God intervening to save Trump’s life on Saturday, as a bullet grazed his ear milliseconds after he turned his head. Zeldin agreed.

“A lot of people feel like God’s hand was on his shoulder, that there was an angel that saved his life,” he said, explaining that it was about more than just saving Trump’s life.

“And this wasn’t just about one man dodging a bullet. This is our country dodging a bullet, and there are a lot of people who are showing up here at the convention in Milwaukee, where, maybe, in past conventions, they’re showing up in a celebratory mood, and there’s just a lot more outward emotion that was planned for a while celebrating a nomination. Yes, President Trump had a hard-fought primary. Yes, he’s been through a lot in the past, but it was like almost everything else added up didn’t equal what we all witnessed for ourselves Saturday — the emotion that we felt ourselves on Saturday,” he said, noting that people have been “deeply reflective” and “emotional.”

Lee will make a great Senator or Governor...I think he could easily beat Hochul next time out.

Schumer is the big problem in NY. NOTHING happens without his approval.

“I sure would hope so but on the other hand there is a lot of stuck on stupid out there.”

That’s just how I feel. I’m cautiously optimistic right now.

Lee ran an excellent campaign for governor.

At the end of the day Manhattan had too big a margin to overcome.

People gotta decide whether they want to live in a country where some members of ONE political party condone this kind of violence.

As much as the right doesn’t want Biden/Harris/etc - we never say or do what they do.

I hope he is correct. However, I will not be holding my breath.

When Trump is President again we need to nationally tighten up the elections and eliminate these Rat designed avenues to cheating. Severely prosecute those who knowingly engage in such.
