...so I'm oblivious to what they're saying. Perhaps someone with a stronger stomach and lack-of-an-acute-anxiety disorder might be able to tell you more than I can?

That he's a "registered Democrat;" LOTS of that, but with no evidence. And a few claiming that he's gay (unfounded, but I'm pretty sure they're just casually tossing in there ..because why not).

The only people fooled by this latest charade are his moron cult members. I'm sure the next one will definitely be by a paid-for non-white person in order to add that to the list. He has time for at least one more fake attempt before the election, maybe two. Perhaps next time they will do something to the car he rides in to rallies. (If that happens, I swear I know nothing. I KNOW NOTHING!) 😱

"Republicans outraged over possible assassination attempt: ‘They are going to keep trying to kill Trump’"

“This rhetoric against President Trump, this narrative that he will be the next dictator, that he is the next Hitler coming, it has got to stop. Enough is enough,” Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. “And when you have this narrative coming from the left, from [the] media, from elected officials, even, that Trump has to be stopped by any means necessary, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that these people are being radicalized and taking action like this.”

My words: Nothing about AK-47 type rifles. No surprise there.

. . .speeches and labels them incitement (couched in "so and so says&quot while FAILING to, within the same article, provide a list of the hateful increments to violence spewing out of the mouths of Trump and his acolytes, is nothing but a far right propagandist.

thought it was staged. The story keeps changing. First it was 1 man and his backpack. No mention of gun. Then a gun shows up for a photo op. Then the alleged 2 shots turned out to be from Security not the alleged shooter.

Ah, man. He's never going to go away.
