Many Americans were deeply disturbed to learn about the shocking security failures by the Secret Service after the too-close attempt on Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. After the assassinations and shootings of JFK Jr., Lincoln and Lincoln Jr., and then-candidate RFK Jr. – and the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan – many Americans thought the Secret Service was one of the most elite forces in the country. They were prepared for anything and in tune with the conditions on the ground.
We learned then that a 20-year-old psycho could roam the Butler rally grounds at will, fly a Drone, and sit on a roof with a rifle, scope, and a pistol only 400 feet away from the former President and fire eight rounds. The bullets missed Trump’s head by a millimeter, but injured his ear, killing former firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and injuring two other people.
The Service’s answers, when they are willing to provide them, have not been encouraging. There’s been another attempt on Trump’s safety, this time in Florida. You can forgive Ron DeSantis for not waiting for the feds to respond.
He wants to know the answers himself
The State of Florida will be conducting its own investigation regarding the attempted assassination at Trump International Golf Club.
The people deserve the truth about the would be assassin and how he was able to get within 500 yards of the former president and current GOP…

Florida’s state will conduct its investigation into the attempted assassination of Trump International Golf Club.
The truth should be told about the assassin’s attempt to kill the former president, who is also the current GOP candidate.
I am not a conspiracy theorist and I will not throw out wild scenarios about what happened here, but I can tell you that I trust a report from Ron DeSantis’s team more than I do any other report coming out of Biden-Harris’s administration. The Secret Service and its administration have been hesitant to investigate what happened during the Pennsylvania rally shooting. This pattern is likely to continue, now that there has been a second attempt.
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-TN, a member of the bipartisan task force of Congress investigating the first assassination attempt can’t believe it.
“The problem, in my opinion, and the public’s, is that you have a Secret Service that’s compromised and lacking in leadership. You’ve got some great agents in the field, including one who fired that shot. Why would anyone be near this perimeter? The line of vision that we are talking about is beyond my comprehension. We need to find out the truth. Burchett: “I don’t believe we’ll get answers during this administration. But hopefully, under Trump’s administration, we will clean out this rat’s nest.”
He said, “There’s no way in hell anybody should have been so close to President Trump using an AK-47 with a scope or an AK-47 Steel with a scope or whatever else it was.”
Burchett says much more, and the video is worth watching. It’s difficult to disagree with his conclusion, whether you agree or not: “The American public is right to question this.”
