Suspected gunman killed by Secret Service, and Donald Trump says he was wounded in ear; the Pennsylvania rally shooting is being investigated as assassination attempt

[DallasBiff]

JMO, it was an ANTIFA radical, and probably had a "manifesto", like the Nashville shooter, that will not be released by the secret service or police to the public I know speculation.

God Bless Donald Trump, and prayers for the person who died and those who were wounded.

Another mostly peaceful Democrat voter.

Um, duh?

[Fai Mao]

Well duh!

What else would you call it?

[ealgeone]

IF this had been biden this is all the media would be saying while calling for gun control.

[HIDEK6]

This was a Deep State (rat) operation.

[TexasFreeper2009]

we all just witnesses a REAL attempted coup, as opposed to the rally on J6

[Steely Tom]

How will the MSM get this off the front page?

[Lee25]

No sh$t

[bray]

The IFB is scrubbing everything as we speak.

[Skooz]

No. Way.

[TiGuy22]

How did the shooter know to go to the one roof with a line of sight that wasn’t manned?

“This was a Deep State (rat) operation.”
I agree. The Obama/Soros/Marxist destroyers of America can’t budge the puppet and the regime is getting reckless.

Fox News calls it a “possible assassination attempt”.
Those Ents have been sucking eggs for some time now.

They know a bullet clipped his ear. Lots of blood.
Something possibly happened here, hmmm. Let’s not be hasty little Hobbits. If that’s what you are.

I don’t mean to trivialize this but it is going to be difficult for the Dems to take away the sympathy and admiration for Donald Trump in this incident.

They trashed his reputation, put a magazine cover out of Trump’s face as Hitler’s, made him “the convicted felon” by ruthless lawfare and said he was an existential threat to democracy.

Then one gunman apparently was agitated by the rhetoric enough, in my opinion, to take heinous action.

Maybe. But it may not be a lone wolf situation. The others may be very happy the shooter was killed before he could be questioned.

[Steely Tom]

That's the most "charitable" option.

I'm betting much more will come out, and that the "charitable" option will have to be abandoned.

I actually hope that's not the case, but given recent history...

[Political Junkie Too]

The Secret Service reports to Homeland Security headed by Alejandro Mayorkas.

Both chambers of Congress better have Mayorkas under oath testifying what he knows on Monday morning.
