Last night’s attack followed years of Globalist media – and recently Joe Biden himself – calling President Trump and his supporters a ‘threat to democracy’ to rile up far-left partisans.

BREAKING (1:34 a.m. EDT Sunday, July 14, 2024) | THE NATIONAL PULSE

[ON RECORD] President Donald J. Trump was shot at in a political assassination attempt during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvannia on Saturday evening. Initial reports suggest President Trump was grazed by the bullet, shot by a man who had climbed atop a low roof on the outskirts of the rally grounds. Law enforcement returned fire immediately after the former President was struck, rendering the shooter dead. A rally-going Trump supporter also appears to have been murdered by one of the shooter’s bullets.

UPDATE–SHOOTER NAMED: The shooter was named by the New York Post as Thomas Crooks of Bethel Park, PA in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan area. The National Pulse has found Federal Election Commission (FEC) data matching the name to a location in Bethel Park, which–if the same person–shows the shooter was a donor to the Progressive Turnout Project through ActBlue, a left-wing political fundraising platform.

The Progressive Turnout Project helps to elect far-left Democrats to Congress and other offices.

The FBI confirmed the identity at 1:34am EST.

Around nine shots were heard minutes into Trump’s speech in Butler, PA, with the Secret Service surrounding him and escorting him off the premises, as President Trump got to his feet, bloodied in the ear, audibly yelling, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” towards the alarmed crowd.

The former President’s ear and/or cheek appeared to have been struck, and a campaign statement issued shortly after the incident declared: “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

President Trump posted on Truth Social late Saturday evening: “I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.

“It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

The incident came after months, if not years, of the globalist media attacking President Trump as a “threat to democracy” and riling up their far-left supporters.

The Secret Service issued a statement: “An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures, and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”

President Joe Biden also issued a statement and addressed the nation shortly after the assassination attempt, though failed to describe it in such terms. His campaign also suspended all advertising on Saturday evening in response to the shooting. ##
