The family of former President Donald Trump is grateful for the quick actions of law enforcement officials who "risked their own lives to protect" him when an gunman opened fire at a rally on Saturday, with a bullet grazing the former president and leaving a bystander dead.
The former president was grazed in the right ear when a suspected gunman – identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks – opened fire while Trump was on the stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service said it had "neutralized" the shooter, who is now dead.
On Sunday, Trump called on the country to "show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win."
His family for their part issued statements after the incident, his wife, Melania, calling it a "heinous act."
"America, the fabric of our gentle nation is tattered, but our courage and common sense must ascend and bring us back together as one," the former first lady said in a statement shared on social media.
Let’s say he isn’t Antifa, it’s irrelevant, he donated to the Democrats. He’s not a conservative, he’s a dedicated liberal who was ordered by his leader to try to take Trump out.
He accused Trump of trying to overthrow democracy and end elections. The day before the assassination attempt he called Trump a dictator. When you have a president spreading lies like that it’s no wonder someone tried to do something about it.
On what? With a speech where he said to be “peaceful and patriotic”
In the meantime Brandon called for a “bullseye” on Trump and look what happened. Trump has shown no signs of wanting to be a dictator, you were gullible enough to be duped by Brandon’s lies and disinformation.
Brandon got a man killed, he’s a murderer and should be impeached immediately.
Everything I’ve said has been factual. Brandon did try to have his political opponent murdered and this whole “well what about 1/6” nonsense is a false equivalence. 7/13 resulted in the first attempted assassination of a US President since 1981, Trump clearly said to be “peaceful and patriotic” on 1/6 and his named has been smeared and dragged through the mud over it by the far left for the past 3 years while Brandon has received zero consequences. Tell you what, have the moral courage to call for Brandon’s impeachment, form a committee packed with Brandon haters to investigate him for 2 years, have everyone who perpetuated these lies in the media thrown into solitary confinement and maybe it will be logical to put 1/6 on the same level as 7/13.
2. There is absolutely zero evidence that "Brandon" (the censored name for Biden...I thought the right hated censorship?) hired the shooter. I do believe there is some dishonesty behind the truth of the shooting and how it was played in the media but I'd love to see some evidence that it was Biden himself was the one hiring the assassin and went with a 20-year-old virgin as his choice.
3. "1/6" as you call it is entirely different. That event was directly caused by a person (ahem, Trump) riling up a crowd with depictions of nonexisting violence and telling people to "walk down to the Capitol...and stop the votes from being counted." He also said he would be there on the walk, side by side with the protestors (wait, I thought the right don't protest? Don't they all have jobs?), which he did not do. Biden (whoops, I mean Brandon. Didn't mean to offend you) has never made any comments promoting the death of Trump. Please find one speech or tweet where he does.
1. First of all you are citing Wikipedia which not only leans radically left (yes Wikipedia called denouncing the Russian Collusion conspiracy theory a conspiracy theory), and secondly it doesn’t say anything about an assassination attempt on Obama
2. I never said Brandon hired the shooter (I also never said he didn’t), but his lies and disinformation clearly inspired him to try to take Trump out. He compared Trump to Hitler and any rational person who seriously thought they had the opportunity to take out Hitler would do it. Brandon most certainly knew that something like this would happen and he continued out with his hate campaign and thanks to Brandon an innocent man (Corey Comperatore) is dead. Brandon is a murderer
3. 1/6 is entirely different in the sense that Trump had nothing to do it. He specifically said to be “peaceful and patriotic” and the left pitched a fit over it, and lied about it for 3 years. Also it’s a disgusting false equivalence to put 1/6 on the same level as 7/13 until Brandon is impeached, investigated by a committee packed with patriots who disagree with Brandon and his followers are thrown in solitary confinement. Brandon directly ordered the assassination of Trump and what’s scary is he almost succeeded and he did murder an innocent, law abiding and honorable man of the fire department. Brandon needs to be impeached immediately for this, he’s unpatriotic and he’s not an American. If someone seriously thinks that a political candidate is the next Hitler there is no other option than to try to murder them, and the shooter thought that because of Brandon’s lies and conspiracy theories.
So I guess any website that doesn't engage or push your fringe, schizophrenic conspiracy theories "leans radically left"?
You say "I never said Brandon hired the shooter" but then say "Brandon directly ordered the assassination of Trump," sounds the same to me.
How can you say that Brandon is a murderer over VERY vague connections between something he MIGHT'VE said and an assassination, but Trump is innocent because he said to be "peaceful and patriotic", even though he ALSO said, and I DIRECTLY QUOTE: "we are going to walk down to the Capitol...and stop the votes from being counted", which is a direct command that resulted in the death of 9, which included some Trump supporters! Your logic makes no sense! If I commanded someone to stab someone, but also threw it "hey, make sure to be peaceful about it", am I off the hook?
And you all said that Obama was "the next Hitler", and people on this board have repeatedly called Joe Biden "the next Hitler". So how hypocritical of you to get all bothered when the left say that about Trump. How about get over it?
Anyone can edit the site and it decisively leans far left. And I’m not pushing any conspiracy theories, I have shown multiple examples of Brandon calling for violence.
He told a large group of people to go kill Donald Trump, Matthew Crooks is the one who decided to act on it because in his mind, because of Brandon’s rhetoric he had to stop Hitler.
You people as I said need to drop 1/6. Trumps exact words were to be “peaceful and patriotic” which mean he had nothing to do with the few protestors who were breaking windows. President Trumps name has been dragged through the mud for the past 3 years for something that wasn’t even his fault while Brandon has yet to be punished for his role in 7/13. Again when Brandon is impeached, when he is investigated by a committee that hates him and when his followers are thrown in solitary confinement then 1/6 might be a legitimate comparison.
I never said Obama was the next Hitler, and no one tried to shoot Obama or Brandon at a rally so your last point is another false equivalence. Brandon tried to have Trump killed, his lies and conspiracy theories motivated the shooter to take out Trump which is exactly what Brandon wanted.
Thats some pure crazy wacko shit you're spouting there sport , and you're not the only one , thats typical maga brain power at work there .
The sort that align with Trumpd cult .
I guess thats why when invented the fantasy that the election was rigged and told you all to march peacefully down there to protest he knew it would probably turn violet , being the "patriots" that you are.
Brandon told his followers that Trump wanted to destroy democracy and was the next Hitler. Anyone who seriously believes that has no choice but to try to take Trump out. Brandon is 100% responsible for 7/13 as are Kamala, Schumer and just about the entire liberal media.
How can you call yourself a Christian or an American and be OK with this?
It is very relevant to you. You are trying hard to convince us the shooter was antifa. Why? I think I know why. You think everyone reading your posts are idiots.
He donated money to the Democrats when he was a child. He registered as a Republican, wore a Demolition Ranch shirt and shot at Trump as an adult.
He was a dedicated liberal? Sounds like you knew this killer well. What are you keeping from us? You contact the police yet to tell them more about the shooter?
Of course he was a dedicated liberal, that’s why he gave them money. What he filled out on a piece of paper is irrelevant. You’re politicizing this when you should be taking a stand against Brandon and the far left.
You say he donated as a child as if it was a long time ago but it was 2021 which is quite recent. You people own this one, and the far lefts hateful rhetoric was clearly the reason for the assassination attempt. Will you have the courage to stand with me and condemn Brandon and far left terror?
It really isn’t, you’re being dishonest. He made far left donations quite recently. Oh I condemn the shooter absolutely, I’m glad he’s dead but we need to look at the bigger picture and the hateful rhetoric by the far left that incited this assassination attempt. We need to have a conversation about far left terror and Brandon needs to be held accountable. Simply denouncing it isn’t enough he needs to be punished.
Except it was Brandon’s words that almost resulted in the assassination of Donald Trump. And the SCOTUS ruling does not give Brandon the authority to order hits on his political opponents. Brandon’s fear mongering and lies resulted in this. When you have a president saying that his opponents is going to destroy democracy, to an unhinged individual there is no other option than to be violent.
It’s beyond obvious. Brandon spread lies and fear about Trump being the next Hitler. To an unhinged individual when you have a President making such radical claims there’s no other option than to do something about it. Brandon has blood on his hands, he is a murderer.
Trump didn’t get an innocent person killed nor did he cause a botched assassination attempt on Brandon. False equivalence on your part.
I am not speculating at all, Brandon has been lying and spreading fear about Trump for years, it was only a matter of time before an unhinged Democrat Donor would act on Brandon’s lies. Why can’t you make a stand against hate? How many more people have to die before we can have an honest conversation about far left terror in this country?
>Trump didn’t get an innocent person killed nor did he cause a botched assassination attempt on Brandon. False equivalence on your part.
Neither did Joe Biden, so far as you know personally. Trump made plenty of inciendary comments about other politicians and public figures. He personally joked about Nancy Pelosi's husband getting assaulted.
>I am not speculating at all, Brandon has been lying and spreading fear about Trump for years, it was only a matter of time before an unhinged Democrat Donor would act on Brandon’s lies.
"Democrat donor" = some kid who gave $15 dollars to the Dems 4 years ago. Way to overemphasise his history with the Democrats.
And what "lies" has Joe Biden been spreading?
>Why can’t you make a stand against hate?
When did I ever support hate?
>How many more people have to die before we can have an honest conversation about far left terror in this country?
You keep on insisting that you know things about the shooter. So tell us why you know it was Biden's words that pushed the shooter to the roof with his rifle.
You think everyone is so stupid as to believe your crap.
Because he repeatedly smeared Trump as Hitler 2.0 and said he wanted to overthrow democracy and was a dictator. If you legitimately thought that someone was going to overthrow our democracy and institute a dictatorship you know you’d want to do something about it. That’s the seed that Brandon planted in this sick, demented individuals head.
What? I said no such thing. I said to a demented individual if you have a President calling his opposition Hitler there is no other choice than to kill him. If you had the chance to take out Hitler wouldn’t have you have done it? Crooks was too stupid to know any better and he was duped by Brandon’s slanderous, vile and treasonous lies and conspiracy theories. Just days before 7-13 Brandon told his followers he wanted to put Trump in a “bullseye”.
Because we have Brandon on camera raising the temperature to boiling, we know from Summer 2020 how crazy some of these Democrat donors are, and Brandon had to have known that his lies and hateful rhetoric would have caused something like this to happen at some point.
Whether you “feel the heat” or not is irrelevant, it’s out there and 7-13 proves it.
Ummmm the 2nd Amendment is the right to BEAR arms, not the right to kill people. That’s a false equivalence, or do you seriously think the 2nd Amendment gives the people the right to kill others? Also his rhetoric didn’t result in Hillary almost being assassinated like Brandon’s did.
Trump thinks the 2nd Amendment is for killing his enemies. He has said so.
Why are you accusing me of thinking like Trump? I do no such thing.
Can you quote Biden where he wanted Trump dead? I can quote Trump's desire to see Clinton killed by someone else so he does not get his own hands dirty.
"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment," Trump said to the crowd of supporters gathered in the Trask Coliseum at North Carolina University in Wilmington. "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
"Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don't know."
Surely you understand that Trump has been working hard to undermine our 2nd Amendment rights for a long time. He wants credit for it; he is not happy if Clinton is able to do it instead of him.

Trump said nothing about killing Hillary in that quote nor have you provided me with one piece of evidence that even remotely backs up what you are spewing out. You are floating conspiracy theories.
Brandon on the other hand said he wanted to put Trump in a “bullseye”, he has said he’s an existential threat to democracy and he gave a disgusting speech back in 2022 about how “MAGA Republicans” wanted to take over the country and are the biggest threat that we are facing. In the minds of an unhinged lunatic who believes Brandon that Trump is trying to take over the country there is no other logical course of action than to kill him. Brandon’s lies almost resulted in the assassination of President Trump. He should be removed from office.
So he made tiny a donation to when he was 16-17 to the democratic party but when he was old enough to vote he registered as a Republican that would be at age 18. What is so hard to understand about that?
We should be using this as an opportunity to come together, yet hear you are trying to tear us further apart.
If he is a really a republican, than this is an internal republcian issue and dthere no pressure is put on dems to rein in their insane panic mongering about Trump.
If he is really a lefty, then any potential dem leader or operatives with any soul, could learn the lesson that they need to tone down the hate mongering and fear mongering they are constantly doing.
Actions speak louder than words. He funded the Democrat party which speaks much louder than filling out a form. Brandon has been on a smear campaign for years comparing Trump to Hitler, it’s no wonder that someone took him seriously and tried to take him out. Brandon needs to be held accountable.
No. Registering as a Republican speaks louder than a $15 donation you made before you registered. That's just not a valid statement. I'm pretty sure you know that and are lying to yourself. Trump has done much, MUCH more slandering but you don't have a problem with him doing it?
Trump has behaved like Hitler. Pointing that out to people is important. It is important to point out terrible things that Biden says as well.
So checking a box speaks louder than giving money to the Democrats? Registering as a Republican means nothing, I’m not a Republican, I’m an Independent yet I would never vote Democrat. He’s probably one of those demented far left radicals who registered Republican so they could vote for a weak Republican candidate in the primaries. Trumps words didn’t almost result in Brandon getting assassination, Brandon’s words did almost result in Trump being assassinated, huge difference and a false equivalence on your part.
Brandon’s lies about Trump being the next Hitler and a dictator caused this incident and thanks to Brandon an innocent victim is dead. Brandon is a murder and should face the consequences. Why is it so hard for you to take an obvious stand against evil?
Gotta love liberal logic: Far left radicals donate to the Democrat Party and try to murder the Republican nominee.
It is Brandon’s fault, his lies and disinformation about Trump incited this assassination attempt. Brandon has blood on his hands and he should be punished for this. Why is it so hard for you to stand up against hate?
As for your pathetic false equivalence, Trump did not cause the school shooting like Brandon incited the Democrat Donor Shooter.
