Trump got shot, clipped in his right ear, shooter killed by sniper (assuming secret service) at rally. 22yr old kid used his fathers rifle, kid is registered republican. The shooter was seen & pointed out to police by rally attendee yet apparently that info wasn't acted on fast enough.
2 other attendee's wounded, 3rd killed while using his body as a shield for his wife & child.
During the last presidential campaign I worked in a private residence ajacent to the Butler County airport. The perimeter then was MUCH larger than yesterdays.
In fact the home I was working in was within that perimeter.
While everything will be a dumpsterfire of finger pointing this is clearly a Secret Service Eff-up of astronomical proportions. From downsizing the secure area necessary, to NOT getting Trump off the stage & safe in any kind of expedient manner.
Buttler County is firmly Trump centric, shops that sell Trump items never closed during Bidens presidency, no one took their pro Trump signs down. Something the Secret Service got lax about. Trump "should have" been safe.
Everything else is secondary to the Secret Service's epic fail. Whether the sloppiness was orchestrated from the head of the SS or elsewhere in the chain of personnel is yet to be determined.
