Why is the Right Not Hammering the Left About the Trump Shooting?
Front Page Magazine ^ | August 9, 2024 | Mark Tapson

It is unsettling to realize that the shocking assassination attempt on Donald Trump less than four weeks ago seems to have already faded into the distant past.

This shooting of a former President and current presidential candidate is an historic incident that should have sparked serious, bipartisan, national self-examination, and a demand for answers not only about the would-be assassin but about the jaw-dropping security lapses that facilitated the shooting. Instead, the mainstream media has managed to shift the focus of the news cycle to the ginning up of enthusiasm for the Democrat candidate, a hopelessly inept and disliked far-Left radical installed as candidate via an internal coup directed against the sitting President.

Meanwhile the purportedly bipartisan investigation into the July 13 assassination attempt continues to collide with bureaucratic stonewalling. This is not helping to allay widespread suspicion on the Right that the Democrat Party itself, desperate to derail the juggernaut of the Trump campaign, might have played some sort of role in the shooting.

As columnist Benjamin Weingarten put it on X:

It remains inexplicable how Secret Service could have failed so glaringly and in so many different ways — we’re just supposed to chalk it up to sheer incompetence and unpreparedness. Perhaps more notably, we know almost nothing about a shooter who profiles as the perfect patsy.

This is a massive, massive scandal that cannot be allowed to fade away.

Not only is it being allowed to fade away, but the news media is making sure Republican concerns are dismissed as conspiracy-mongering...

Just because he stepped down for kumala, doesn’t mean they didn’t try to assassinate President Trump.

Yes and we should be pounding away tying it to the Harris/Biden admin as another one of their colossal failures.

There was no assination attempt. It was the usual Democrat failure to do a job, any job correctly.
I’m a Trump supporter and I despise Democrats.
I’m glad they failed, But else do you expect from
idiots?

The media has their marching statements. It was fake news as Trump staged it himself.

Because they’re panty-waists, and it would be just fine with them if PDJt were to disappear.

“The media has their marching statements.”

Quite often I remember what Rush said a few times. He said that the MSM doesn’t take orders from the Democrats; the media GIVES orders to the RATs; they’re really the ones running the show.

It’s absolutely disgusting isn’t it. The commies brush it under the rug like it never happened, yet a fraction of an inch and Trump would have been buried by now with the commies having the election in the bag celebrating.

Because half of the Republican Party leadership is disappointed that he missed.

Why is the Right Not Hammering the Left About the Trump Shooting?

Until the GOP is dissolved once and for all, there will be no symmetrical hard right opposition to the hard left in this country. People are still so mixed up that they insist on calling Antifa and BLM "Nazis", or "fascists".

Election interference
The cleanup after they attempted to have President Trump shot is so telling, and so is the info war they conduct.

I have been digging deep into the details of the assassination attempt—and I know less today than I did several weeks ago.

The coverup has been brutal and highly effective.

Imho we have no idea who fired the shots, how many assassins there were, who provided logistical support to the assassin(s), where the shots from fired from etc etc etc.

Anyone who thinks they have answers to these questions has not dug deep enough.

This has the method of operation of the JFK assassination—a complex plot protected by a bodyguard of lies.

Yes, I was thinking that the other day. Hell of a country America is now. A President was almost assassinated, one man murdered, two others injured, and it seems like who cares? It has all been swept under the rug because it doesn’t help the whore Kamala.

I don’t know, maybe we are too far gone as a society to recover.

Believe me when I tell you, I have not forgotten one iota of the assassination attempt. Having experienced political security first hand (a female Secret Service agent was leaning on me) when doing my job near Al Gore years ago, I can tell you that in the situation with Trump, some or possibly all if the personnel stood down to ALLOW that to happen. . There's more, but I won't detail that right now.

Republicans and Democrats have abdicated from their responsiblity fof national and individual security because they have been paid off in one way or another.
