President Donald Trump was evacuated from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner after multiple gunshots were heard in the ballroom.
One officer was shot, but he was “saved by the fact that he was wearing obviously a very good bulletproof vest,” Trump later told reporters at the White House.
The suspected shooter was identified later Saturday as Cole Allen of Torrance, California, a former senior law enforcement official briefed on the matter told MS NOW.
I’m betting this was all staged. Either that or Iran is trying to get him.
*Edit: Alternative Idea – what if this was one of his cultists who came to kill off the “fake news” media?
The fact that he didn’t have scripted tag line like "Fight! Fight! Fight! indicates that this one was a surprise, but also that Butler was DEFINITELY staged.
Karoline Leavitt said the truth for once
Is that a real quote, and was it actually broadcast before the shooting?
Surprisingly, yes
LOL, what a goddamn farce.
Even if the “shooting incident” (which the article you linked itself puts in scare quotes, BTW!) is real, the circumstances are so stupidly convenient half the country isn’t gonna believe it anyway.
I can still hear her melodic voice.
You have a pedophile in office that doesn’t see any consequences for his crimes. What else did you expect would happen? And this one guy could be any american with a gun. There will probably be more.
There will probably be more.
Better luck next time.
Having seen the level of marksmanship on display, I hold little hope.
Someone only has to get lucky once. 🤞
Hopefully be more.*
They’re not sending their best (assassins).
Why is everyone so bad at this?
Because it’s not real. This was Trump’s mic drop.
Right! He is re-solidifying his grip on the cult.
Except I dont think it’ll work, cause even the cultists are starting to think the big ear “shot” attempt was fake now… and I dont see how this blatantly stupid failure here is going to do anything to skew that opinion.
what if this was one of his cultists who came to kill off the “fake news” media?
There is a stupid amount of security for the President. More than people realize.
When he was Prez, Clinton came to speak at my high school. They had scuba divers check a small pond for explosives, evacuated homes in a nearby subdivision, and had a fucking ground to air missile battery in the countyard. And that was before 9/11.
George W Bush came to speak at my high school, BEFORE he was President; this was just on the campaign trail.
Aside from getting a chance to speak to him (“to the rank”), what image has remained with me 20+ years later was leaving school later and looking back at the sight of these men running back and forth on the roof of my school carrying HUGE guns as part of the security. It really resonated with me that I while I was shaking that man’s hand, I very likely had one of those giant rifles aimed at me…just in case.
And, this was just on the campaign trail.
And that same SS didn’t insist on metal detectors at the hotel? Or fully vet all the people staying at the hotel?
It sounds like the shooter was stopped at the metal detectors from what I read. As for vetting, this administration only seems to vet brown people.
So the next one knows the gun has to be non metallic (plastic and ceramic).
There’s video. He gets to the checkpoint and bolts. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr717nglye0o
-waiting for the report on how much people won/lost on Kalshi and Polymarket about this-
Trump’s going to be so annoying about this.
Won’t that be a tell. If the guy that won’t shut up about anyone who has ever wrong him DOESN’T go off on this guy (kinda like the crickets in the guy that supposedly got his ear)?
So how much money are we betting that this is another magat trying to kill trump?
I hope not. I liked the last guys being MAGAs, but now I want it to start being the people he’s hurting. I want to see the Free Market respond the way it did with execution of the Health Care CEO.
When you push people hard enough, they will eventually push back. I want these treasonous pedophiles to get so terrorized that they are afraid to go out in public. All that money, and it can’t even buy you peace of mind.
“Man, people keep trying to shoot at me. So weird! Anyways, I’m gonna use this to show how both safe and unsafe the country is.”
Clearly, this is because transgender people are using the women’s restroom. Let’s round them up and “deport” them.
-Republicans, eventually
Probably staged
Probably. Or a cultist was acting to eliminate the “fake news” that the jackass whines about all the time.
Evacuated? Not hidden under a table for 3 minutes then allowed to stand up, head fully exposed, for a quick photo op?
The world needs professionals. Not amateurs.
People downvoting healthy skepticism need to get off the internet and go back to school.
The deep state sucks at choosing assassins. They always pick these guys who have no real plan or ability to succeed.
Made me think of That Mitchell and Webb Look - Diana Assassination
