This is a tragic event, and I grieve for this woman, her children and all us in the MAGA world, but honestly, it took two reporters to tell us his last words were, “Get down”? It seems demeaning somehow.

Shouting 'Get down' was him trying save others in the crowd who were stunned and still standing. Giving his body for his daughters, but still thinking of others. What a man.

God bless this family and please comfort them in their grief. His widow refused mr. biden's call wanting none of it. I guess she wasn't in any mood to listen to him garble on about losing Beau to an assassin's bullet. After all, joe's the one primarily responsible for her husband's death. I'm sure that the actual President will find time to call her soon and that his will be the call she takes.

That punk was a lousy shot, but his strays killed and injured many totally innocent people. The punk sniper's name should be forgotten by the human race.

Bear in mind he was hit from behind...his back was to the shooter, He was aware of shots coming in by either the sounds of the bullets passing and or the reports after they were fired. He was in the bleachers on stage right. Between Trump and the shooter

Thank God former President Donald Trump survived the assassination last Saturday during his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Unquestionably the guiding hand of Providence protected him on that fateful day. A mere turn of the head was the difference between life and death, and possibly civil unrest on a scale not seen since the Civil War. America has been the beneficiary of providential acts since its inception. Even a cursory overview of American history displays the hand of God in our national affairs.

Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump served as a “breaking point” for many voters on the fence in the 2024 election, former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said during a sit-down interview with Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The shooting was “an epic failure,” Cloud told Breitbart News during an interview at the GOP’s national convention, adding, “It is very concerning that right off the bat, we see DHS [Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security] obfuscating as opposed to being transparent.

It led to an iconic image of the former president, who had just escaped death from a would-be assassin, perched less than 200 yards from the stage, raising his fist in defiance, face bloody, telling his supporters to “fight.” It’s become a viral sensation. It’s also made some media photographers and editors queasy because—get this—it could hurt Biden and give “free PR” to Trump. You can’t make this up. They’re afraid to do their jobs because it could hurt the Democrats.

BUTLER, Pa. — The Secret Service blamed local police for failing to secure the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, insisting it was outside the perimeter the federal agency was tasked with protecting. Instead, securing and patrolling the factory grounds of AGR International Inc. — located about 130 yards from the stage where Trump was speaking Saturday — was the responsibility of local Pennsylvania police, Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi said, according to the New York Times. The Secret Service was only tasked with covering the grounds where Trump’s rally took place, with local police being recruited to assist with those efforts and
