“My father is running out of lives here,” son Eric Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “How many more rifles are going to come within assassination distance of my father?”
THEY'RE BLAMING THE GUNS! 😂
He’ll be fine, he’s out golfing, not confined in a small room of 20-30 people that’s cluttered and only has one door.
Let's hope they run with the guns R bad story
They'll gladly disarm people. Just not their supporters.
running out of lives? What is he, a cat? Better watch out for JD, Ohians with brown immigrants in the family are known to eat cats. /s
The guy with the rifle was just there for a peaceful sight-seeing tour. Now he's a political prisoner because he exercised his second amendment rights. Anyone arrested for this is a hostage and a patriot and should be pardoned. Free the September 16th patriot!
Everything they say is to distract from the fact that they have no policies that improve the lives of the vast majority of their constituents.
They have concepts of policies...
A decade after stating they're working on a plan, years after saying it would be unveiled "in two weeks". What a disappointment, that we're forced to take these obvious pathological liars seriously again.
A Secret Service agent was one hole ahead of Trump while he was golfing and spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of a fence in the golf club, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw of Palm Beach County said at a news conference. The agent “immediately engaged” with the person holding the rifle, who fled. Bradshaw confirmed that law enforcement officials had a potential suspect in custody.
Ngl I wish someone had taught the guy proper fieldcraft. You don’t expose your barrel from a hide.
Guns arent the problem!!! /s Let’s make it all about him. Asshole.
This. Exactly this.
Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.
(I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)
"Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter."
no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.
CNN via (HBO)Max reporting that they found an AK-47 in the bushes:
Law enforcement officials found a weapon and other items left behind by the suspect where he was positioned in the bushes near the Trump International Golf Club in South Florida on Sunday.
“In the bushes, where this guy was, is an AK-47 style rifle with a scope; two backpacks, which were hung on the fence and had ceramic tile in them; and a GoPro. … So, those are being processed right now,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said.
Tile? I’m trying to see what he was doing with two bags worth when he was out for blood.
This violence has no place in our election process, and I hope against hope that it can end.
Ceramic tiles are used in bulletproof vests.
So he had two backpacks hanging on the fence behind him as a bulletstop.
Oh oh oh
Shows what the shit I know.
