The failed assassination represents a security failure by United States Secret Service that is so astounding, it will rightfully inspire conspiracy theories for years to come. Kevin Rojek, who heads the Pittsburg field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, acknowledged that it was “surprising” that Crooks was able to take so many shots unchallenged. And I can think of no reason why Trump’s detail should’ve drawn their security perimeter to exclude a prominent, elevated firing position a mere 130 metres away from Trump’s podium. Finally, there is the fact that Crooks and his rifle were visible to spectators for minutes before he opened fire; multiple rally attendees tried to alert police, fruitlessly. There is even a screen grab of drone footage circulating on social media, showing Crooks climbing onto the building.

Initial media reports included many ridiculous headlines – the worst of them this utter failure by CNN:
But there were others, which reported only on “loud noises,” despite the fact that all journalists had access to footage of unmistakable gunfire and Trump with blood on his face:
... Maybe the emptyheaded Vinograds of the media should direct a few more of their admittedly scarce IQ points not to the tensions arising from this incident, but to the tensions that led up to it. It was not just Joe Biden who was caught telling supporters that it is “Time to put Trump in a bullseye” a few days ago. Insane rhetoric has attended Trump since the very beginnings of his presidential candidacy in 2015, with legions of purportedly respectable politicians and journalists claiming that he is an agent of foreign powers and an enemy to American democracy. There are hundreds if not thousands of articles and political pleas asking “Why aren’t we talking about Trump’s fascism?”, declaring that “Fascism is everywhere on the march, and it’s Trump who sets the pace”, announcing that “Donald ‘Dictator on Day One’ Trump is an existential threat to our democracy”, shouting that “A second Trump presidency is an existential national security threat”, and proclaiming that “A Second Trump Term Will Bring an End to the American Century” and that “Donald Trump ‘will destroy’ U.S. democracy if he wins 2nd term as president.” All of these inflammatory and unfounded claims hail precisely from those corners of the discourse that also eagerly blame every last tepid misdeed against their own political tribe on nebulous “extreme right-wing” forces.
Assassination Attempt on President Trump: A Direct Consequence of Media's Hate Campaign ...
This blatant assassination attempt in broad daylight reeks of radical Leftist or deep state involvement, a direct result of the baseless hate campaign against Trump for the past eight years. Since 2016, the radical, leftist, anti-American, Trump-hating mainstream media has relentlessly spewed venom and vitriol and incited violence against Trump, culminating in this assassination attempt.
It's possible for apoliticals and the few non-batshit Democrats to come out for Trump now without fearing their entire lives will be obliterated.
Possibly. But we will likely see the FBI "thwart" a right wing attack on a high level Dem using the same setup play as the Whitmire kidnapping plot.
