White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting

I think it’s very clear to what was really going on.

Like JAN 6TH COUP !

Like the Charlie Kirk assassination, when the alleged shooter turned out to be demographically inconvenient.

i wonder if anyone can even pay attention long enough to it to figure it out or if a guy breaches the gate with a weapon whether he fires it or not if shots get fired hes in prison forever

What... "The agents did not harm Morens, but took off his pants and shirt, handcuffed him"

One guy running into the lobby at the WH Correspondence Dinner, got more nation wide press and attention than the seven school shootings this year alone which killed a total of seven people. Why is that?

All the treats of violence are coming from inside the house - the White House

"but but they didn't have the right security level!" SECURITY WAS FINE. Guy didn't get past the security cordon and was taken into custody. FFS. 🤦‍♂️ "but but"... I only did 4 USSS Pres VIP prot missions. WTF do I know over clueless people that never did any. 🤷‍♂️

Occam's razor says: The would-be assassin was real—no staging there—but: · the weird calm of White House principals on scene · a press conference seemingly prepared in advance · a possibly Freudian slip from press secretary ("shots fired") · emerging evidence of prior warnings All real, too.

1860s: Republican president Abraham Lincoln still showing up in public during a literal war with minimal security detail. 2026: Republican VP with access to modern security and with no recent direct threats made to him cancels.

Leavitt actually said there 'would be some shooting' at the event, before it happened. The so called journalist interviewing her did not ask any questions. I would have.

Not to be that guy, but we can also deflate all the rhetoric of the other side right now because of the WHCD incident by acknowledging that 1.) the Secret Service did their jobs? and 2.) no lasting harm was done? They are dictating the tempo of the conversation right now using this incident.

"but but they weren't scared" No shit! They only had a slew of security between the guy and them with tac response teams in reserve. You know, the guys with assault weapons you see come out from behind the stage. I wouldn't be scared either.

Probably 2/3 Americans are just annoyed that the attempt failed so badly.

They should just provide Trump with the bulletproof vest worn by the security agent who was shot at the WHCD (with the bullet intact). That would provide him with the ability to claim "assassination attempt" at any time with the "bullet" as "proof".

Also, the shooter's manifesto is unveiled on the same day as his capture, revealing his many thoughts about how insecure the venue was, and how he could never have pulled this off if there was a secure ballroom in the White House.

This attempted shooting has literally nothing to do with Trump's ballroom grift.

Still bemused by the most trigger-happy security forces in the world once more failed to put 20 rounds into a suspected presidential assassin before they thought of arresting the perp.

That's another. The Cabinet wasn't there in the past.

Agree, it's worse than staged because they willingly put other people in danger.

Perhaps the "divine intervention" was, in fact, the "more assassination attempts ... than any other" president. Perhaps the god Trump never worships is sending him a message. Naturally, he won't get it.

it sounds like he didn't and it makes sense because how can you just twirl around and nail someone when you're already under fire AND not get hit!?

But before he left the White House Correspondence Dinner....

The networks and DC press have spent a lot more time dwelling on the crashing of their party than the latest school shootings.

Did he even shoot somebody? I thought the cops shot themselves again in the confusion

And don’t forget one of trump’s earliest boasts that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave. and not lose any votes.

Hope the other side asks for sanctions for this shit. Also some evidence to support assertions. Such as Trump being shot *in the ear* as opposed to being cut by flying glass. Or why it has any bearing as he wasn't in DC and wasn't president.

[shooting coverage: media avoidance] @futurebird I think a big part of it for me anyway—for children in this country, nearly daily, this happens somewhere, and the fear of it is ever-present. The minor ones, these dorks don’t even cover. They’re too afraid of backlash to turn their vast […]

Disgusting turds

These memes may start off as twisted hyperbole on the new 4chan called "Xitter", but by the time the Cesar Sayoc types hear it in a few weeks they'll be convinced the WHCD shooter actually was a secret son of Obama.

So with more information we find it wasn't completely staged. They knew he was coming and they let him. It was another set up. Not exactly staged, but not really a danger for any of the people who let the man into the hotel knowing full well who he was and what his plan was. They are so jaded

Dana white trumps friend said the attack was 'fucking awesome' - wheres the article on that youtube.com/shorts/MpE6F...

ALSO, is it true that during Obama's time in office there were eleven assassination plots stopped? If so, that is competence AND a President that simply bravely carried on.

Precisely. They knew he was going to attack the event from at least the beginning of the month and instead of preventing it they allowed it to play out for political effect drive.proton.me/urls/9CY0DMK...

And the joke came before the incident. What about Leavitt's comment, “There will be some shots fired tonight.” , just before the WHCA dinner?

Stupid “assassin”

I'm trying to be objective, I really am. But through the whole thing - before, during, and after - there are really bizarre things that positively reek of a planned situation. Whole cabinet in same room, tipped off days b4 abt shooter, lax security, smiling backstage, instant SM "ballroom" calls? 🐟

I think this is 100% batshit crazy. So the same dumb fucks who are so incompetent they are losing a war to Iran and crashing the global economy are also capable of pulling off a super sophisticated conspiracy that would require absolute silence from shit tons of cops and Secret Service? Really?

2/2 "When Donald Trump fell to the floor, he later claimed to 60 Minutes that he was simply “looking around” to see what was happening. But the video tells a different story—one of a man who lost his footing, flanked by agents who were moving with the urgency of a Broadway usher." #Trump #WHCD […]

It’s America. There are more guns than people. This kind of thing happens every day but the republicans that could do something about it only care when it affects them personally. A normal person speaking at a hotel doesn’t get metal detectors and armed security to stop a shooting from happening.

Or end the WHCD. We don’t seem to have a free press anymore.

He was at the correspondents dinner on Saturday. Guess his feature will run tonight on the daily show but he was on last night to talk about the incident.

James Brady, his press secretary, got shot & years later died as a result of that incident.

I have been having a hard time wrapping my head around what happened at the Whcd. I'm sure it was fake, but Cole Allen isn't. So this is my current theory. They knew he was planning this. They let it happen, so they could stop it. Cole Allen is the fall guy. Why did he leave Patel off of the list?

I'm trying to not become "another conspiracy theorist" but this whole thing reeks of lies. Seriously, since "they" knew he was on the way, did it ever occur to them to intercept him, maybe get a psych evaluation for him, help him, not let him hurt anyone on the trip or at the venue anything???
