I don’t normally go in for conspiracy theories, but the more I hear/read, about the #TrumpRally shooting, the more it seems all too perfect.
Every #security analyst says that roof should have been guarded/surveilled.
#Trump was remarkably unconcerned w/his safety, flagrantly sticking his head out immediately & repeatedly after the attack, indifferent to the possibility of multiple shooters. He was more concerned w/his shoes than getting shot.
Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger said in a phone interview that the suspected #gunman was dead and at least one #Trump#rally attendee was killed.
The #TrumpRally incident is being investigated as an attempted assassination, w/ the #FBI, #SecretService, & #ATF all working on the case, acc/to 2 people.
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Donald Trump said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” #Trump#TrumpRally
Unsubstantiated claims about the #TrumpRally in Butler, PA, immediately flooded social media after #Trump was escorted off the stage.
Without proof, posts built on ideas circulated by Trump that the “deep state,” or a government cabal, blamed shadowy figures on the left targeted Trump to stop him from returning to office. The #disinformation surfaced on platforms favored by the #FarRight including Gab, Truth Social & Parler, as well as on X, Telegram, Facebook & Instagram.
Some said that a gunman w/ties to the so-called “deep state” had opened fire & shot #Trump. Without evidence, the posts also blamed govt agencies such as the FBI & the CDC.
Rep #MikeCollins, #Republican of #Georgia, quickly accused President #Biden of ordering an apparent shooting at the #TrumpRally, but provided no proof. “Joe Biden sent the orders,” he wrote on X.
