Donald Trump has blamed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for last month’s failed assassination attempt against him by accusing them of making it difficult for the Secret Service to protect him.
The Republican presidential nominee’s claim – for which he offered no evidence – was made on the television talkshow Dr Phil, hosted by Phil McGraw, on Tuesday. The remarks follow disclosures that several Secret Service agents from the Pittsburgh field office had been placed on administrative leave after the 13 July shooting.
At a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month, Trump was grazed on the ear by a bullet after a 20-year-old gunman opened fire from the roof of a nearby building. One rallygoer, Corey Comperatore, was killed and two others were seriously wounded. The gunman was shot dead by a Secret Service officer at the scene.
“When this happened, people would ask, whose fault is it?” Trump told McGraw. “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. They were weaponising government against me, they brought in the whole DoJ to try and get me, they weren’t too interested in my health and safety.
Neither did the guy you’re replying to. But their opinions and observations are based on information they’ve received from news sources, whereas yours are apparently made up out of thin air based on nothing seeing as you don’t trust any news source.
How do you even know an assassination attempt even happened? Unless you were there you are only hearing about it from biased news sources.
I guess you’re right. It never happened. Not sure I believe that, but you do you.
Well the news is all biased, so I haven’t seen a credible, unbiased source reporting on it.
We probably won’t ever. The government is going to shush this thing like Tiananmen Square.
How can they shush a thing that didn’t happen?
Exactly. Shhh. It neeeeevvver happened wink wink.
