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

The worst thing about them is that they get to vote and breed!!
Was he trying to kill himself?
Different movie.
Different character.
Same actor.
Same concept.
;’}
Of course they do. Is anyone surprised. Anyone that still thinks Biden is better than a turnip is mentally unsound.
I don’t know how anybody with 2 brain cells could think you could possibly ’stage’ such a thing other than in Hollywood. SMH
One in 3 libtards are on heavy psych meds for schizophrenia
1 of 3 think it’s staged but 3 out of 3 are retarded regardless.
If it was staged, the Secret Service had to be in on it. Is that really what the Biden supporters want to project?
Supports my point: that kind of precision shooting only happens in movies.
Quigley’s bucket shot wasn’t totally ridiculous, though. Blondie’s noose-shooting ... or Josey Wales’ Missouri Boat Ride ... or someone deliberately shooting Mr. Trump’s ear ... is pure fiction.
Only Jed Clampett and Jethro Bodine could pull that off.
I've seen a lot of Leftists on X parroting these numbers. The Left believes Trump staged it as a photo-op - the Right believes the DoJ staged it to take Trump out. Those are polar opposite beliefs - not the "same thing."
The hate is strong in them—all things Trump does must be evil He is Hitler don’t you know.
It was clearly a setup by the Biden people. The Secret Service diverted resources away from guarding President Trump, diverted for Jill Biden elsewhere in PA. And they put non-trained female desk jockeys onto the SS detail, who had no clue as to how to do the protection. Someone coordinated with local police to not cover the rooftop area. This is all on Biden and his people.
The event was 100% planned. By Biden and the DOJ.
every one of them needs to be sued for 1 billion like Alex Jones was!
I tell my sons I am more accurate shooting from a horse.
Exactly.
Family of the firefighter killed should sue them for $1B - funded by, say, Musk.
Given the fact there was ample warning and nothing done to stop the shooter, seems like an action against the police, SS, and all involved in civil court should occur. Get some people under oath.
Where did the ladder come from?
Who made the order to not get on the roof?
Why’d the police officer let him go that spoke with the shooter?
How’d he get the rifle up on top of the roof?
Need folks answering questions under oath.

Notice how Trump supporters saying it could be planned equated to Democrats saying it is staged by Trump. At least the author of the article could rightly claim stupidity for this mistake.
and make sure all charges are filed in the most conservative district in the country!
