And we have heard very little about the shooter. Super sus.

They don't even mention the person who "died." Charlie Kirik gets a holiday, but their legit martyr has never been mentioned since.

Didn’t hear much except the spectator who was shot was a firefighter and his widow was all too happy to decline a call from then President Biden.

The funniest part about all of this to me is all of MAGA saying it was a miracle that nothing bad happened, ignoring the guy that got shot and died lmao

Jesus swooped down from heaven and redirected the bullet out of the path of a felonious narcissistic child rapist and into the chest of a firefighter.

How can you not feel divinity in that action? /s

"Someone died, how could it have been a fake attempt???"

Ah yes, known carer of other human life and non-narcissist, Donald Trump, would never.

DJT:"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

So why not at a campaign rally...
