Left-wing TV and radio host Charlamagne tha God is blaming former President Donald Trump for the violent rhetoric in American political discourse and said that’s one reason why he is “solely responsible” for the assassination attempt on his life last weekend.

The radio host blasted Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator — and now GOP vice presidential candidate — J.D. Vance and accused them of trying to mislead people.

“Mike Johnson and J.D. Vance, please don’t act like Donald Trump is not solely responsible for creating this environment of political violence that he’s not even safe from,” said during his show on Monday.

Had Trump been murdered, these videos would have haunted the country forever, because it was so utterly preventable.  The conservative movement needs to make accountability a top priority for the coming months.

What a swell gal.

She now occupies the #1 spot on The List. Biden’s security capo allowed an assassination attempt against Biden’s opponent, and now she’s doing a victory lap on state TV.
Prison, and nothing less, for this monster.

Either the assassination attempt was “unacceptable” and she has to resign…or she was fine with it, has no problem accepting it, and she’s going to keep her job and move on as if nothing happened.
Guess which option she picked after allowing an assassination attempt against Trump!

Eric Trump just said on Fox that they have raised over 5million for the family.

A decent sniper can easily hit a target out to 500 yards or more.
So why is the Secret Service claiming the building the shooter used to fire at Trump (which was a little over 100 yards away) wasn’t their responsibility?
C’mon man, this is bullshit. Get it together and take responsibility.

Wylde chambers have been around for a long time and the velocity differences between 5.56 and .223 ammo at 130 yds would be so minor as to be irrelevant. Just my opinion in the last part..

Agree. 100%. Plus, I suspect Crooks used ammo he was familiar with using.

Secret Service blames local police, says it was tasked with securing properties surrounding Trump’s Pa. rally

EXCERPT

This excuse making and finger pointing won't go over well...

It may be true - But you're right.
And it is not technically true.
A lot of the control of a big venue like that is chunked-and-formed. Ain't much difference in the how of it if it is a rodeo, a rock star, or a president... Except - And in any and every sense, if you have ever participated in something like that - In the case of political venues, the feds OWN the ball.

[roamer_1]

Attendees knew he was on the roof.
Police knew he was on the roof.
Secret Service knew he was on the roof.
They knew he had a rifle.
And they waited for him to shoot. They didn’t even bother to remove Trump from the stage.

Not that easy. It is right, but it's not quite that easy.
For instance - Identifying ONE shooter does not tell you if there are others. Leaving him in the sights and buying time for observation in all directions has a valid purpose.

Republicans Demand Rep. Crockett Resign Over Legislation to Revoke Trump’s Security

Texas Scorecard by  Brandon Waltens   | July 15, 2024

The Dallas Democrat was one of eight lawmakers to sponsor the proposal.

Republicans in the Texas Legislature are calling on Democrat U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Dallas to resign after she co-sponsored a bill to strip former President Donald Trump of Secret Service protection.

First reported by the Daily Caller, the letter is signed by 27 current and incoming lawmakers and takes aim at Crockett for sponsoring H.R. 2081, which would terminate the presidential protection detail “for any person who is sentenced for a federal or state offense that is punishable by at least one year in prison.”

The legislation has received new attention following the attempted assassination of the former president on Saturday, with reports that his existing Secret Service protection was insufficient.

“Texans believe that, regardless of party, Presidents of the United States of America, both current and former, must be protected,” the letter states.

I found it remarkable the crowd had not scattered in a panic.

Crowds are of about the same intelligence as a jar of pickles.

They didn't have to shoot the guy. All they had to do was send a radio call, "Threat on the roof, get Trump to safety" and everything would have been avoided. But they didn't. So the question is, "Why didn't they?"

[roamer_1]

All assuming the peep had the rifle sighted in accurately for say 100 yards, considering how bad those on the HS rifle term say HS was, I doubt he had the ability to do that himself. If someone else  had sighted it in it would be dialed in for them not he who is now fertilizer.

*Even IF*... A rube ain't gonna have the sheer time in it takes to make a rifle your sweetheart.
I got a new 45/70 a while back... Lever action, open sights... The most simple thing. I put boxes through that girl before I called her 'honey'. I can pick up that rifle right now and know I can drive tacks with her... Know that even with a griz coming short and fast, every dang thing my darlin says will matter

And 130-150 yards with a .223 and common optics... you better know her pretty good.
That's in range alright. But it's out there.

[mountaineer]

There's a rifle range near where he reportedly attended tech school.  Perhaps after being told he wasn't good enough for the rifle team, he started practicing.

Report: Law Enforcement Saw Trump Shooter on Roof 30 Minutes Before Shooting

Legal Insurrection by Mary Chastain 7/15/2024

https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/07/report-law-enforcement-saw-trump-shooter-on-roof-30-minutes-before-shooting/

“According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m.”

WPXI reported that law enforcement spotted Thomas Matthew Crooks on the rooftop 30 minutes before he shot former President Donald Trump.

Insane:

Channel 11′s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford’s sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person. We have learned from our sources the person in that picture is Thomas Crooks. We’re told it’s not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point.

According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m. Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point, but did not see him where the first picture was taken.

26 minutes after the second picture of Crooks was taken by law enforcement and the information called in, shots were fired from the roof of the American Glass Research building. Seconds later, a Secret Service sniper returned fire and killed Crooks.

What the hell does THAT have to do with the price of tea in China?  Who gives a shit if there may be a 2nd shooter??

You're act is getting more tired and preposterous by the minute.

Let's not stop and take out a visible shooter because there may be others??
IT'S THE ONLY REASON THE SECRET SERVICE EXISTS...TO PROTECT THE POTUS AND LINE OF SUCCESSION TO SAME!

I am on the record stating this was an epic fail on security's part.
I am just stating that in a dynamic situation, there are reasons for leaving the guy in place.
I think he was directly approached by a sheriff and that set him off.

He knew his time was short so he acted, and the overwatch guys immediately took him out.

I am saying there may be reasons why the 'green light' was not immediate until and except if the shooter acted.

[roamer_1]

They didn't have to shoot the guy. All they had to do was send a radio call, "Threat on the roof, get Trump to safety" and everything would have been avoided. But they didn't. So the question is, "Why didn't they?"

If they close up, that may set it off too... If there may be other shooters, bombs, who knows? Movement may cause action. So taking a minute to get set and ready may make some sense. That's all I'm saying.

I am talking about in a critical moment though... I am up to the point in this thread where I find that he was in their sights for half an hour... That makes no sense unless they were looking for something else. I have no idea why he was not engaged in that time frame.

[Timber Rattler]

The building near the water tower may have reflected the sound so it sounded like something coming from that direction. With the longer reflection path it would be significantly more delayed.

Which is what also happened in Dealy Plaza when Oswald was shooting at JFK.  The conspiracy theories are already getting tiresome.  The only one that sounds feasible and likely is that Mayorkas deliberately kept Trump's detail small and poorly staffed with the "B" team hoping that Trump would get whacked by some nut, as almost happened.

You are right.  As to 'why didn't they'?  Inside job.

Unfortunately, he's got a huge following.

...and they just so happened to keep Trump's detail small and magically a nut job appeared to take him out??
