3 assassination attempts. In what 3 months? And they’re all from Republicans.
The most recent “assassination attempt” was just drummed up by the media. I haven’t seen any evidence it was anything other than a man with some guns in his car who happened to be near the rally.
Honestly, I’d be surprised if the venn diagram of “people who would keep guns in their car” and “trump’s base” wasn’t a circle.
There’s going to be a lot of false positives in an environment like that
The Riverside county sheriff is the one who first used the term assassination attempt. Media uncritically repeated what the sheriff said.
Only one was prevented. The 3rd one, the person had no plans or interest in an assassination attempt. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Edited for missing critical word. Thanks to Warl0k3@lemmy for the proof read!
