Well, the print press, TV media and twitter are all going crazy about the attempt on the life of the orange menace. Current consensus seems to be that his ear was not hit by a bullet, but rather by glass from the teleprompter being shattered. I have no facts or data, but that makes sense to me. Seems like a bullet fired from an AR15 would have done more damage. But what do I know. Sadly, there was a death by gun fire in the audience.
What is interesting is the response of the secret service. Since I can't figure out how to imbed video from twitter, you'll have to CLICK THIS LINK to watch the footage of how Secret Service acted after the shooting of Ronald Reagan. He later said that he thought SS had broken his ribs after they pushed him to the ground.
Compare and contrast that response to this, CLICK THIS LINK to play what happened yesterday. You can hear him saying "wait wait" so he can position himself with the fist bump, followed by a straight arm salute. Oddly enough, his shoes were left on the stage.
From twitter we see the following.
Also weird is that roof tops with a clear line of sight to the stage were uncontrolled. People in the audience saw the shooter, and told the police and Secret Service that there was a guy on the roof with a gun. There was no response to that.
Predictably, the media puts its own weird spin on the event.
This did not need to be said, especially by a DEI expert. Really people.
Finally, the New York Times did something right.
Republicans are calling for the prosecution of President Biden for "causing" the shooter to act, others are actually saying Biden ordered the hit. They never miss an opportunity to be stupid and wrong.
Here is more recent analysis that points to this being staged.
