A 20-year-old Pennsylvania man is suspected to be the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on Saturday, firing several shots and killing at least one spectator, federal and local law enforcement agencies said.

Investigators are looking at what sources describe as misinformation that the suspected gunman appears to have been recently consuming and whether it played any role in the incident, according to law enforcement sources.

So far, investigators have not uncovered any ties to extremist organizations or individuals, though they continue to scour information from the suspect's phone and other digital devices, according to the sources. Increasingly, the shooting was looking like a lone wolf attack, sources said.

Twelve hacks contributed to this asinine article.

It’s an open primary state.

No, it isn’t. Pennsylvania.Is a CLOSED primary state. Hence, many Democrats registered as Republican to vote in the Republican primary.

• Revealed: Donald Trump shooter is a 20-year-old registered Republican who donated to Biden - as his father says he is trying to work out 'what the hell is going on [07/14/2024]
• avital2: Republicans don't donate to actBLUE - but Dems did register R to try to affect primary results.
• Pollard: Registered repub that donated to act blue. I'm thinking he was only registered repub to vote against Trump in the primary.
• FreedomForce: You may be right about him registering to affect the primary. Pennsylvania has a closed primary.

My wife told me that a woman she knows refers to incontinence pants as “Biden britches”.

[Alas Babylon!]

Whatever the hell the DNCMedia wants to say, it is just stupid to remark he was a “Republican” and leave it at that.

No one is going to be satisfied with some plain-faced explanation that Trump was almost killed by one of his own, and that’s all. Not without a smirk from the newsreader.

It’s so retarded.
