“Do you think we should secure that rooftop over there?” “Not my job”.
There was too much incompetence for it to be just that.
There's always a "conspiracy" huh?
Too much incompetence for it to be... incompetence?
Never attribute to malice what can be as easily attributed to incompetence.

@@coreyander286 the mantra of an easy mark
@coreyander286 they knew about him, they even approached him and backed away.
WHY WAS TRUMP LEFT ON STAGE WITH A THREAT?
"In fairness, nobody wanted something like this to happen." You sure about that???
That is what an investigation is for.
Breaking news! You've been calling him "literally Hitler" for 8 years. I think we found the motive...
Consider that Trumps behavior, studying Hitler speeches, using Hitler tactics, constantly using violent rhetoric and rewarding violent offenders, may be what prompted the attack. Not what people honestly observe about Trumps behavior. Please start paying better attention so your own observations can serve you better.
Nah, nobody can figure out MAGA cultists.
@stacysaunders7708 not a single bit of that is true for one. And 2.. all the man ever talks about is peace. At every speech, every rally. All his speeches are about peace and unity.

A hunt for a motive?
it leads to the whitehouse and a Dr that isn't a doctor you know who she is
One huge point that keeps getting overlooked: the local police did their job by spotting an actual wannabe assassin 30 minutes before the shooting. They identified him on 3 separate occasions, took pics, and reported to their chain of command. That is *exactly* what we want--they identified a true threat.
But then what? The cops who spotted him were inside that building and evidently supposed to stay there, relying on other cops and secret service to go investigate. Why was there such a MASSIVE DELAY and why would they not ensure Trump's safety until they had confronted this threat?
pass the parcel.
Yikes! I honestly never understood why people got so obsessed with Kenedy. Now, I get it. This is wild.
FBI is investigating themselves???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t believe in coincidence
But I believe in cointellpro

Bullying...
TRUMP IS HITLER
For 8 fukong years they've said this.
@@franktorres633 No. Mainstream media has RADICALIZED an entire generation against trump.
@@franktorres633 Lame excuse.
Kid is the fall guy.
For what?
Trying to look at this logically, this level of incompetence is malicious. No other way to look at it.
Sure looks like it. How did that kid get by all the secret service and police and not stopped after he was spotted? It makes absolutely no sense. NONE.
"I'm just a patsy"
He was in a black rock ad
Hunt for motive?? Are you fucking kidding me?? Look at how the media portrays him??
How the media portrays Trump? Because they report the fact that he quotes Hitler? Because they say he is a treat to democracy? Because they call him a fascist? Trump IS a fascist. He has said many times he wants to be a dictator on day one. Name me one dictator that was only a dictator for 24 hours? Trump has ALREADY tried to end our democracy, after he lost the 60 election fraud court cases, he was part of a plot to illegally create slates of fraudulent electors in all the battleground states. He then pressured his VP to (to betray his oath to the constitution) and certify the fraudulent votes instead of the real ones and proclaim Trump the winner of an election he lost. He incited a violent mob to attack the capitol to stop the certification of the election so he could remain in power and then he sat for hours watching the attack on tv and did nothing to stop it because thats exactly what he wanted to happen. That is textbook fascist behavior.
There is nothing wrong with the left pointing out those facts as the reason he must be defeated in the upcoming election. The left does not promote, condone or make light of political violence.
Unlike Trump and the right who joked about Paul Palosi, who was bludgeoned almost to death by a right winger who was 100% politically motivated (by his own admission) who broke into his house for the sole purpose of murdering Nancy. Instead of condemning the violent act, Trump, Don Jr and the right made up a story about the attacker being Pauls gay lover and they made jokes and laughed about it.
Trump constantly calls the left fascist, marxist, communist lunatics, groomers, p3dos, un-American and evil. He has said there will be a "bloodbath" if he doesn't win the election. He said that "If Alvin Brag prosecutes him, there will be death and destruction"
He said "the second amendment people can take care of Hilary"
He said "he would pay the legal bills of his supporters if they beat up protesters at his rallies."
There is only one party that is constantly promoting violence and it's the same party that commits the violence (even this assassination attempt was a 20 year old, white male, registered Republican, member of a far right second amendment gun club, who's classmates said was "very conservative" and his neighbors have confirmed that he had Trump and MAGA yard signs in his yard for years. Stop trying to blame the left, its dishonest.
Accurately? Playing him saying Hitler type stuff? Showing his social media posts talking about getting rid of the Constitution?

Something about this attacker vibes of the "Heaven's Gate" cult.
One made it into "HELLS GATE". 😮
A five foot ladder? How would that work?
Witnesses who were there and tried warning the police and secret service agents said they cries of warnings went ignored. Witnesses have said in interviews that the police nor secret service weren't doing anything to find or look for this person of interest at all, so for the chief of police to say his people performed their duties perfectly is an outright LIE period end of story. This entire ordeal was planned, and the marching orders given to the police and secret service to let happen, happen and not respond till after the fact is exactly what they did by ignoring all the cries and warnings from both rally goers and those who were outside the rally perimeters. Be rest assured these marching orders were given to the police and secret service by Killery Clinton, Obummer, Queen Nancy, chucky Boy Schummer, Adam Bug Eyed Schiff and the head of the secret service ensured that those marching orders were given and carried out. Had they not obeyed they and their families would be in jeopardy from their wrath. That is apparent by the tweets several socialist democrat elected officials were tweeting within moments after the assassination attempt had happened. Comments like and I quote "you had one job, and one job only how could you miss?". "A sad thing happened today and not in the sense that you're thinking". There were many more tweets put out by others and I'm sure you're getting the point here and all these elected officials have sense locked down their twitter accounts in order to remove and clean out any nasty things they've tweeted about and against President Trump. Unfortunately, there are those who've seen, read and have saved these tweets and these folks have been posting them all over social media.
As Mr. Trump used to say to the head of the Secret Service "YOUR FIRED"
You're *
So the director of the Secret Service is using the old "slanted roof" excuse..Laughable!
"nobody wanted this to happen" really...
Hi babe! Beautiful boobs
I thought ABC news was actually going do reporting😅. Oh no, they can’t do that!!! Just government mouthpieces telling the lie they’ve been told
Guess what every major news agency is under a Republican CEOS Control . They spin it how Trump tells them too
Where is the ladder??y
The video states he did NOT use the ladder. Watch, before making stupid comments
I can't believe people still watch this commercial TV news crap and the ads with emus and "doctors" pimping insurance and drugs that goes with it.
How should private broadcasts fund themselves in your opinion?
The Thomas Matthew Crooks fan club includes Jimmy Kimmel, Robert De Niro, and Kathy Griffin.
Whoa, hold on!
I get the other twits, but has Kimmel really entertained the same reprehensible thing???
What are you talking about?Motives, biden said it himself put him in a bullseye. Even in video games that building would have to be covered.
Do you really think President Biden would make the Bullseye remark to the WORLD if he were referring to it as MAGA is attempting to twist it too? Seriously, you can't be that naive unless you are brainwashed and grasping for straws. You are being deceived. Pay attention and do your research on how for YEARS, Mr. Trump has operated using deception as a tool to get what he wants. Why do you think New York is done with him? They know him well and have rightfully come to the conclusion that trump is a con.
There are two types of people in this world, those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
The Reason: you kept on calling Trump a fascist, a threat to "democracy"
Truth
What they called him was a Dictator, simply repeating what trump said he would be. Don't like it? Blame trump. He's the one that said it! Can't be upset for calling a duck a duck.
Both sides have horrible rhetoric. Trump keeps saying if he doesn't win we won't even have a country anymore and keeps calling the other side is evil.
@@elizabethgunn3226 The "other side" is evil, doesn't know what a woman is, allows males to take over women's sports, kills babies in the womb, resort to banana republic lawfare tactics, and try to provoke the assassination of their political rivals. Yes, those people are pure evil. Are you one of them?

That’s not true democrats wanted this to happen. There is a video of a woman crying because the dude missed Trump. Just because you know Trump is better doesn’t mean you have to try and hurt him.
The sloped roof bullshit excuse is a joke! This broad should be held as an accomplice!

"New details" = "We still know nothing"
Don’t believe anything that’s coming out out of investigation especially one these agencies are involved. They are just trying to cover their asses.
Everybody that has their eyes open can see what happened. There’s no question about it. They tried to kill Trump and they were unsuccessful please, Mr. Trump fire all these people around you and get a new detail immediately 100% must be gone completely gone. Do not trust anybody.
Please, Mr. Trump they will try it again and again these people do not stop and you know that better than anybody. These are communist all lefties that will not stop until they stop you. Get yourself a new detail fire that was supposed to protect you.
You may sound like I’m very mad and I am very mad. This is very serious and I would not have a team like that. Protect me from anything I could care less. I’d rather have my own private security firm. Take care my security. There is no way I would have these people protect me, no way in hell

Their house was decorated heavily with Trump flags, but they came down. When and why? He could have been disillusioned upon realizing he’s been lied to and got angry.
We've all been lied to our whole lives.. it's all a puppet show.
$50 says that NONE of the local police relatives were allowed to sit near Trump at this HUGE event🧐
Hhmmm
There is a video of a secret service guy going behind the stage before the shots rang out moving the reporters away from behind trump ...right before the shots started. Times of India has it on their channel

It's almost as if we'd been here before.....minus a grassy knoll.
Not quite, Kennedy was not a convicted felon and orange putrid is still spreading lies...
Your graphic shows the WRONG location of the shooter. He was on the other end of the building. This same lackadaisical approach to reporting inaccurate details is how the magic bullet theory emerged after Kennedy was killed. Do better!
The people WERE NOT SECRET SERVICE EMPLOYEES!!!!!!!!!
JUST BEING DISCOVERED AND MADE PUBLIC!!!
Why are your graphics showing the shooter in a different spot than where the bloodstain shows where he was?
Sheriff had more pressing matters like the Canadian - American games.. Just like the cop that confronted the gunman and ran away this is how police are, they are only there for AFTER the fact Actions.

BREAKING: Secret Service tells Congress they identified Thomas Crooks as a threat at least 10 minutes before Trump walked on stage. Trump camp was not notified. The Secret Service agent-in-charge was on the phone with local police as the shooting broke out.
“Didn’t stop him in time”
They had two whole minutes to get Trump off the stage!
.. NO to Trump. Had voted as a republican for 5 decades, but I CANNOT VOTE for Trump and any of his supporters; they had lost their integrity, morals and conscience!
I still believe that the majority of patriotic Americans, who love this country and are committed to defending and upholding the constitution, WILL NOT VOTE FOR Trump.
I believe she meant to say, 'Former President Trump'
Another channel shows him having ridden a bike with backpack sitting by the bike. Police are not trained secret service. Who before when the area was first decided scoped out the security for the venue? I'd start there, they decided the bldg was not part of secret service secured area. Secret service has some of the best trained and skilled people on it. Makes no sense what the heck has happened? Just another area when democrats touch something it goes to pot. This was a set up from the start. Investigate it and report that. Stop reporting like a staged paid staff for a theater.
