Nope. See Scalise’s tweet. Already trying to frame the Democrats as violence mongers for saying that Trump is a threat to democracy. Republicans always, always have weird spins on this kind of thing that always, always absolves them of responsibility.

BUT I just heard that the shooter was on a roof. That suggests that something was missed in the advanced planning, no?


Uhh yeah. SS is a clown show.

Biden is a class act speaking out against the violence! He didn’t make jokes about Trump or insinuate Trump was gay, like Trump did when Paul Pelosi was attacked. Biden is a decent human being.

This location was easily secured, not a complex urban space. The shooter was on a clear white roof with what looks like one of the few (maybe only) sightline.

I entirely agree that this is a security failure. The Secret Service is held to high standards, but as we've seen in multiple crisis situations, including Jan 6, it's comprised of human beings who aren't perfect.


Stop. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

The armchair quarterbacking an hour after a confusing fast moving event must stop.


I do, actually. There is nothing partisan in analyzing the video footage and seeing how this rally could have been better protected. In a rural area, no less. It's a crying shame. It's a wake-up call for all of Biden's and Trump's future rallies. And RFK has to get SS protection ASAP! Also a scandal that he doesn't have one right now.

Following directions.

This is horror and trauma.


Trump is all anger, violence and chaos.

He will use this as an excuse to be even more authoritarian.

Teleprompters are still intact. Watch the footage. Are you watching MSNBC instead?.......


What difference does it make? So weird to take this position. So disgusting actually.

I think it would take any of us about three minutes to identify and secure that roof if doing a site assessment based on google maps view. Don’t understand how this can happen.

Very conservative newsmax says they were told by Pennsylvania police that they think it’s glass fragments that hit Trump.

I think the gunman brought the chaos. Look what our current leadership has enabled. This is on his watch.


Nope. Chaos is Trump’s calling card.

Truth. Makes for good ratings which is all he cares about. Seriously, leader of the free world and he thinks he's in a tv show? The bootlickers need to find their spines and replace him.

No political figure has ever stoked as much violence as Trump. He’s supported neo nazis, undermined our elections, and stoked violence against his own VP and political candidate. So no, I don’t feel any sympathy for him. What goes around comes around.


We can be against everything Trump stands for but still be sympathetic to the plight of all politicians and rally-goers who are victims of gun violence. It appears that Trump nearly lost his life tonight. One of his supporters died. This is not OK.

Yes, it's well known that Trump has incited violence multiple times and has denied the dangers of Covid such that many of his supporters died of it. You can deplore the act without liking the man. But if you're going to hold the higher moral ground, instead of wallowing in the mud with this guy, then you can damm well express decent sorrow that he was shot at tonight, and that someone died.
