Looked to be a bum... Maybe he just needed a place to stay for a couple of months... (?)

Is it possible the MSM had the more reasonable reporting on this? (Yikes!)

Yup and Trump is going to have to keep private security even after he wins

This is just more Democrat rally interference. They hate the rallies.

“Why do you think there’s more to it?”

They want Trump dead. When the democrats say “by any means necessary “they mean it. They are the party of terrorism and murder to get their way. They burn cities murder cops and support their Hamas wing that slaughtered a thousand Jews a year ago. Their political philosophy murdered a hundred million plus people last century. They slaughter babies in the womb and call it “freedom.” They have no problem killing one man standing in their way. Obama’s political advisor declared tens of millions of Americans must be murdered for their glorious revolution.

Like I said, something about that attack was ‘off’ to me. Finding vulnerability in the security.

The Media Plan: After Democrat provocateurs create incidents, blame Trump for holding violent rallies. By dodging bullets and nuts, he’s ... inciting insurrection again.

I read an account of a man who rushed the pitching mound at a ballgame in the 1890s. Before removing him, a couple of police took batting practice upon him with their Louisville Sluggers nightsticks.

Democrats 40 years ago: pro-worker liberals.
Democrats today: pro-elitist Communists.

Even then the Party bigwigs were pro-elitist Communists, now the rank and file are too.

"How did he get let in to the rally? Look at the guy. Sunglasses indoor, a jumpsuit, scraggly beard...."

How did Crooks get access that day, and allowed to walk around unchallenged for what? 2 hours?

I worked in NY State's prison system in uniform for 25 years. We were trained to be observant, and vigilant of everything...to question everything, and that the only stupid question was the one you didn't ask. With a job like that you eventually become hyper-vigilant, noticing and questioning things a civilian never would. Whenever an inmate came out of his cell wearing a winter jacket in the middle of summer, you knew he was either carrying a weapon, or was afraid of being stabbed by someone. He stood out like a shore thumb. We had metal detectors set up at the yard entrance. It was set at such a high level that it would go off when an inmate came through with a stick of chewing gun wrapped in foil.

Another time, I was covering the secured main yard gate that closed off access from the yard to the walkway that led to the administration building. One night an Hispanic inmate, who we all knew had a few screws loose, was pacing back and forth on the other side of that gate, talking to himself, making horrible angry faces, pacing more, acting more bizarre than I'd ever seen him. I called the Sergeant's Post and let them know this guy was acting even nuttier than he usually did. Some officers came over, took him aside, frisked him, and found he had a big shank on him.

Even after 21 years of retirement, I am still very observant when I leave my home. I'll never be sorry for all that security training that was drilled into my head, because at 77 years old, it's helped keep me safe not just in the city I live in, but when I traveled overseas, and here in this country.

The response should have been a hail of bullets, but I guess we our DEI Secret Service some innocent bystanders may have been shot.

I suspect there is more to this story. I don’t think this was a leftist, although he certainly looks like one.

I was watching the rally when this happened, while the cameras were on President Trump, and only he could be heard rather than all of the ruckus. You can, however, hear what the president is saying on the clip.

President Trump said that this guy was “on our side”, “he’s with us, just sometimes we get a little bit itchy.” He clearly thought the man was a good guy, and then proceeded to tell of the American flags which had tangled together in Butler, forming a perfect angel. If you look at the man being escorted out, you can see that he has a flag/s tucked down into the front of his shirt. The man did not rush the stage, but was trying to get up on the media riser.

I suspect the guy was wanting to pull out the flags, formed like the angel flags at Butler, and needed the height of the riser to do so. I also think President Trump was aware of this, and that’s why he knew immediately that the guy causing the ruckus was “on our side”.

If this is the case, I hope President Trump clears this up. For him to tell people this guy was “one of us” is otherwise very odd. Normally he’d be telling him to go home to mama. Watch the clip, or better yet, find the rally rerun and watch that, as the camera and sound is on the president. I suspect someone had told the president that someone there had a replica of the Butler flag angels and was going to display it during the rally, but it got out of hand.
