One in Three Biden Supporters Think Trump Shooting Might Have Been Staged
Anew poll has laid bare how many voters believe the conspiracy theories swirling around the attempted assignation of Donald Trump over the weekend.
One third of those who support Trump's Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden said they believe the attack may have been staged and had never been intended to kill the former president. That equates to a little over 33 percent. And even some of Trump's own supporters believe the same thing, with around 12 percent suspecting the event was planned, according to the poll conducted by Morning Consult, an American business intelligence company.
Trump was left bloodied after being shot in the ear as a bullet whizzed past his head at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Thomas Matthew Crooks killed an audience member and injured two more after he opened fire at the event, before the 20-year-old was himself shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper shortly after launching his attack. After the shooting, Trump stood defiantly to raise his fist and shout "fight!" repeatedly, before being whisked away by security agents. Some political analysts believe the attack and Trump's reaction to it may have helped the Republican's chances ahead of November's presidential elections—although a separate Morning Consult poll suggested that was not the case so far.
In terms of the poll on conspiracy theories about the attack, the survey revealed the scale of the beliefs. Besides dividing respondents' answers by voter allegiance, as indicated by the Morning Consult results above, voters were also polled as a whole. In total, one in five voters (20 percent) said the theory that the shooting was staged was "credible," although the majority (some 62 percent) said the unsubstantiated theory was "not credible." The remaining voters were

It *was* staged, as in “set up.”
How long is this country going to humor paranoid, mentally-disturbed people?
It’s well past time to open the asylums again.
Proving once again that liberalism is a mental disorder.
They were working on staging the Trump assassination attempt right after they completed staging the moon landing. </sarc>
FR marksman please weight in — is anyone on the planet a good enough shot to time that ear nick shot?
Just being a Biden supporter puts one’s intelligence in doubt.....
Yes *staged* as in paid hit by Bi-dung.
I’m on X and most of the ones I’ve read who think it is staged, think Trump staged it, and not like and inside job to assassinate him. Mark Hamill was lamenting that Trump wore a bandage on his ear and he shouldn’t’ need one. He sure is one washed up average actor. Sheesh.
Mostly, they take old photos of Trump, post them as if it is from Saturday and say the shooting was fake. It’s unbelievable how brainwashed and gullible lefties are.
Where are all the”false claim” and “without evidence” people debunking this wild unsubstantiated conspiracy theory?
On vacation?
🤔
Half the population is below average.
Of course because they can’t admit it wasn’t.
They’d have no excuse for their support of the democrats.
Having someone shoot at your head is staged?
I would say nobody could be that stupid but knowing a few Biden supporters it’s believable.
Lol
Well given their total ignorance of basically everything in life, it is not surprising that Biden voters are actually this fundamentally stupid
Sure, there are people all over the internet who can shoot the ‘nads off a fly at 500 yards, every time.
No, there would be no way at all to guarantee to just nick the ear
Speaking for myself only ...
I'm not. Not even close. No way would I attempt such a shot on a living being.
I seriously doubt ANYBODY is ... not even with a benchrest rifle, much less the AR-type that the alleged shooter was allegedly using.
Head shot? Easy.
Ear shot? BWAHAHAHAHahahahahahah.
OK ... I know who could do it ...
From 500 yds.
On horseback.
The rest of us?
Not so much ...
Nations that are hostile to, and compete with, The United States have learned to attack The United States through our weakest people.
The have attacked us for decades through the Democrat party which they know is a conglomeration of weak minded and greedy people controlled by Democrat Crime Families.
Many of these same people adamantly believe Biden had a bad debate because he had an “off night”, and not because of his obvious cognitive problems.
Missouri Boat Ride!
