Newsweek Mocked for Claiming Donald Trump Was Not Really Shot Because Only Part of a Bullet Hit Him
Breitbart ^ | 07/25/2024 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 07/25/2024 9:03:14 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Newsweek is facing social media backlash after downplaying the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump by suggesting he was only hit with part of a bullet instead of an intact bullet.

The Newsweek article is titled “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All.”

Newsweek attempts to justify this title by pointing to testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray, wherein Wray said, “…With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.”

Did the Newsweak morons state what caused the bullet to fragment?

The teleprompter would have been well to Trump’s left, several feet away.

(no worries, video of Crooks blurred).

Why would it be worrisome to see a dead assassin?

“Shrapnel from where? And how?”

Some suggest that his ear was injured due to rough handling by the Secret Service agents.

Everyone who was blown up by bombs were simply hit with scrap metal. So they shouldn’t make a big deal of it </S>

I’ve definitely got no such problem, but I didn’t want some flighty-types in the audience to skip over watching it because they possibly wouldn’t be able to stomach seeing Crooks’s body.

Which is why he was holding his ear when being pushed to the ground. Trump is obviously prescient.

we have a picture of the bullet in flight. It’s clearly not “shrapnel.”

The bias at Newsweek is pretty obvious.

Whatever was shot and drew blood was life threatening and an absolute failure on the part of the Secret Service.

Wray is a complete tool casting shade on events. He needs to be called out on this crappy innuendo
