In the last hour there was an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump he appears to be wounded in the ear. There are conflicting reports of if anyone else was killed or wounded (other than the shooters). This is from Byron York
From @AP: 'Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger said in a phone interview that the suspected gunman was dead and at least one rally attendee was killed.' https://t.co/0he6hafiqW
As I’m tying this the report is one attendee is dead and another wounded. Right now on twitter there are a bunch of leftists complaining “How can you miss” to the point where it is trending on twitter. I have this question for Elon Musk:
question would those lamenting the failure of the assassin to kill @realDonaldTrump to the point where said lament is trending be considered to have violated the hate speech rules of X/Twitter ?
I wonder if those upset that Trump survived are consoled that they managed to kill at least one of his supporters.
Here are the headlines from the MSM at the time I posted this one twitter:
So far @nbcnews@abcnews & @cbsnews are all not calling it an assassination attempt ABC: Trump rushed off stage by Secret Service as possible shots heard at Pennsylvania rally NBC: Secret Service rushes Trump offstage after popping noises heard at Pennsylvania rally
CBS: Trump safe after being rushed off rally stage when possible shots fired PBS Trump rushed off stage by secret service after apparent gunshots heard at Pennsylvania rally CNN: Trump injured in incident at Pennsylvania rally They won't say assassination attempt #unexpectedly
Well I guess when you scream that Trump is a threat to democracy and that he’s Hitler for a year this is not a shock. On the plus side for the media they now have an excuse to stop talking about Joe Biden’s mental health but I suspect this is going to hurt their chances in November even more.
My first thought and it’s actually a rather terrible one, Given the left’s continual Trump derangement fed by the media, academic, Hollywood and Democrats in congress I’m really shocked that it’s taken this long for someone to try to kill him.
I’ll close with this:
The number of leftist lamenting the shooter missing @realdonaldtrump speaks volumes both about the left & what the false rhetoric of them and their allies of the MSM have produced.
As a #catholic I'm required to love my enemies and pray for them, but they don't make it easy

The White House has put out a statement but Joe Biden hasn’t spoken on it, that makes sense because the last thing democrats need is the contrast between the pair emphasized.
Update 3: Boy was I wrong. Heard Joe Biden’s statement on the radio on the way to supper. I don’t think it could have been more perfect in the situation. Furthermore it was his best public performance and the most presidential thing he has done in a long time.
I don’t think this was a calculation in this moment but I’d say this speech guarantees that he stays on the ticket
“I don’t know enough, I have an opinion but I don’t have any facts so I want to make sure we have all the fact before I make some comment or comments.”
The world would be a better place if a lot of people took that last line to heart.
Update 4: Donald Trump put out a statement on Truth social:

oh, the hypocritical outrage coming from a website that only last month was calling for the assassination of joe biden:
