I’ll repeat what others have pointed out: Trump’s detail was never great to begin with and was deliberately drained by Kamala Harris and Jill Biden events that just happened to coincide with the Butler rally; it is reported that these were both scheduled at the last minute. The resulting security “perimeter” was porous to the extreme. People responsible had allowed the perp to walk around the venue taking measurements with a range finder the day before. I realize you shouldn’t ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence, but they can both be true at the same time.
We need to keep repeating these 3 truths because they MSM has managed to bury them
1. They knew there was a guy on the roof with a rifle and a clear view.
2. They let Trump take the stage.
3. They let the guy take the shot.
He actually didn't miss his mark. That head shot was dead on. The grace of God came when Trump turned his head just before the shot or perhaps even as the trigger was being pulled.
Worth repeating... it was the grace of God.
Maybe any secret service person hired under a democrat Administration should be let go... Nah, probably not allowed...
