On Saturday the 13th of July at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt. A shooter on a building across from the rally took a shot that hit Trump in the ear just as he was turning his head. A moment later the bullet would have entered his skull. There is also an unverified second bullet hit on Trump from what looks like a hole in his coat, probably stopped by a bulletproof vest. There has been a lot of speculation on what happened which is still unclear. What can be certain is that there is a lot of misinformation mixed in with actual facts.
One of the biggest things you are going to hear is that the identified shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was a registered Republican and was wearing a gray t-shirt emblazoned with an American flag on the sleeve and the word “Demolitia” across the front and back. A logo-matching merchandise sold by YouTube influencer Demolition Ranch who speaks mostly on topics about firearms. While this can seem confusing at face value as to why someone of this description would take a shot at Trump, these facts can easily be explained away. First of all, it is not uncommon for Democrats to register as Republicans during the primaries because many states do not allow non-registered party members to vote in primaries. The benefit to this is simply to vote for anyone other than Donald Trump, like Nikki Haley, in order to prevent someone like him from running in November. This especially makes sense when no other Democrat is running in the primaries. What makes this more than a theory is that he is a verified doner to the liberal ActBlue political action committee. As for the shirt, it would make sense for someone to be wearing such a shirt in order to blend in with a Trump crowd, especially if they were to get caught holding a gun. If they were someone who thought Conservatives were extremists, then they would have concluded that what they considered an extremist shirt would likely go unnoticed in this crowd.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are going to blame the Democrats and the Biden administration. To some extent, there’s some legitimacy to this, but not in the way you would think. (See my final point below.) In a more obvious sense, the biggest problem with the theory that Democrat leaders were directly involved is that we've come to a point in this election where Joe Biden is in such bad shape, not just physically but in the voter's eyes, that any Republican candidate would end up easily beating him in this election despite Trump being removed. So assassinating Trump to remove a political opponent doesn’t make a whole lot of sense other than expressing illogical desperation. Although, it would not be the first time Democrats have made a desperate move.
There is the fact that the Secret Service and police on sight seem to have had a sense of incompetency concerning their response time. Several civilians can be seen in recorded footage yelling out to authorities that a shooter was climbing onto a roof well before he took the shot. Since Biden is technically in charge of the Secret Service, it can be construed that this was intentional. I’m not about to point any fingers, but those are the facts. That being said, incompetency seems to be more common with the Secret Service under the leadership of director Kimberly Cheatle who seems more interested in diversity hires rather than someone who can effectively protect an asset and take out a threat. The female agent struggling to holster her gun was an example of that. Or more obvious, the fact that they could not stop the shooter before he took his shot.
So what was the motive? Was this a one-off incident or a contracted outside influence More than likely the shooter was simply a Democrat voter who believed the lies about Trump that he has been filled with for the last 8 years. The simplest way to put it is that the Left has been demonizing Trump's name and repeatedly calling him Hitler for years now. To add insult to injury his followers are called Nazis with no basis for the slander. When you consider the question, "Would you kill Hitler if you could go back in time," a lot of us would give a resounding, "Yes!" Well, the Left and their media have basically said that Trump is worthy of death by constantly comparing him to Hitler. Frankly, it is more surprising that this assassination attempt has not happened before now.
Let's jump back in time a little when this all started. On July 2, 2018, Time Magazine’s cover featured a migrant Honduran girl named Yanela Sanchez, probably around the age of two or three, standing and crying in front of a towering Trump with the caption, “Welcome to America.” The image was photoshopped to pull at your heartstrings for this child, trying to make you feel sadness for this little girl and hatred toward Trump. By using simple emotional tactics, they attempt to control how you feel and use that as a tool to control how you think. The article claimed that this little girl had been separated from her mother because of Trump’s border separation policy. On June 21, 2018, CNN wrote an article describing how the photo demonstrated the compassion gap between Trump and the real-life people affected by his “zero-tolerance” border policy. Even the New York Daily News Editorial Board, on June 15, 2018, wrote an opinion piece entitled, “Lying coward Trump: Administration separates children from their parents at the border, and he will not even own up to his cruelty.” A very disturbing image indeed. Except it is a lie.
According to the girl’s mother, Sandra Sanchez, they were detained together and never separated. On June 21, 2018, after seeing the photo on the news, Denis Javier Varela, the girl’s father, told the Daily Mail: “You can imagine how I felt when I saw that photo of my daughter. It broke my heart. It is difficult as a father to see that, but I know now that they are not in danger. They are safer now than when they were making that journey to the border.… I did not support it. I asked her, why? Why would she want to put our little girl through that? But it was her decision at the end of the day.” While a correction was made at a later date, Time Magazine and others stuck to their story despite this new information. TIME’s Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal said that he would continue to stand behind the image, exploiting this little girl, because it served to make a broader point against the immigration debate. This little girl ended up being the false symbol of the Left as she was used to attack Trump and his administration.
Activists, lawmakers, and journalists continued to accuse the administration of running “internment camps,” leading to the hatred of Trump when it came to illegal immigrants. They would coin the phrase, “No human is illegal.”
When the photo of children in cages surfaced, the media jumped right on it without bothering to verify its source. They pushed their agenda hard. This then led to the narrative that the Trump administration was putting children in cages. In fact, however, those cages date back to 2014 during the Obama administration. They built them when a spike in unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border into our country was taking place due to Obama’s Dream Act which allowed undocumented children under the age of 16 to stay in America. This loophole was quickly abused and caused the flow of illegals to increase dramatically. The media, of course, wants to blame it on Trump.
Trump was later asked about the MS-13 gang members, and in response, he called them animals. This is a gang whose motto is, “Rape, control, kill.” How did the media report it? They removed the context and created the headline, “Trump calls some unauthorized immigrants ‘animals’ in rant.” Starting to see a trend?
This slander continued with the violent protests in Charlottesville, where the press continually continued to misquote Trump's statement, "You also had people that were very fine people, on both sides," by omitting the entire statement of what he said afterward, "and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly." This was even used during his three unprecedented impeachment trials despite Trump's defense team showing the entire clip afterward as a rebuttal. This was all put together by Democrats who simply did not like Trump. This was only a fraction of the defamation they put on Trump's name. It would take a book to share it all. (I might have to write that.) But no wonder someone felt obligated to end Trump's life if he believed every lie he was told about Trump. I don't believe this kid was evil, but those who put these tempting thoughts of murder into his head are. The Devil's greatest asset is his ability to lie.
Three bystanders were shot during the crossfire and one of them, Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old volunteer fire chief was killed while trying to protect his family during the attempted assassination. He dove onto them to shield them from the bullets. His heroic actions saved the lives of his family while losing his own. The Left has blood on their hands.
