You really cannot hate these Credentialed Media folks enough. Where were all the editorials from the Capital Broadcasting Company when Democrats fundraised off a tragedy? When the Cult of Climastrology called for more government regulation after weather happened? When Democrats called for gun grabbing after a shooter (usually a Democrat, and often a trans wacko over the past few years) went on a rampage?
Editorial: Trump rally shooting must not be exploited for quick campaign bucks
The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump is a tragedy. It is not an opportunity.
Yes, politics and campaigning must, and should appropriately, continue. The National Republican Convention, opening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will, and should, continue as planned.
Focus also should be on what has been left in the wake of the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. While Trump was fortunate with minor wounds to his right ear, Corey Comperatore, a former local fire chief, lost his life to the sniper’s bullet as he dove to protect his wife and daughter.
Two others injured at the rally are listed in stable condition.
Attention should be on comforting the Comperatore family at this time of such tragic loss. Concern should be on the healing of those who are injured.
Republicans are typically the ones offering thoughts and prayers, and we actually mean it, while Democrats yell that thoughts and prayers aren’t enough, government must grab guns. And do it within hours of the shooting. I’m betting that Trump, and other Republicans, will mention Comperatore and others during their speeches, that they will be lauded.
The focus of this horrible incident now should be on:
- Comforting the innocent victims;
- Examining what happened and why;
- Exploring what, if anything could have been or should have been done to prevent it;
- Restoring civility and respectful dialogue into our political environment that has become overheated, bombastic and, as evidenced most recently, inciteful.
There already are serious questions being raised about the precautions and actions of the security around Trump that need to be answered. Did the Trump campaign seek added protection? If so, was it denied ad why?
The CBC should immediately work towards restoring civility and respectful dialogue on their NBC station, WRAL, for their website and broadcast TV. Where was the CBC after the George Floyd incident, when Democrats raged and rioted and burned things and so much more, and the Democrats were fundraising and calling to institute all sorts of things?
In October 2022 Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Palosi was assaulted by an intruder in their San Francisco home. In 2017 U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot and injured. In 2011 former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords and 18 others were shot at an Arizona meeting with her constituents.
Scalise, a Republican, couldn’t restrain his partisan instincts when he sought to blame Biden and Democrats for the shooting. “For weeks Democrat leaders have been fueling ludicrous hysteria that Donald Trump winning re-election would be the end of democracy in America. Clearly we’ve seen far left lunatics act on violent rhetoric in the past. This incendiary rhetoric must stop.”
Pelosi tried to fundraise. Giffords tried to grab guns, and is still trying, even though she and her husband have handguns. Scalise was 100% right, just like how Democrats have demonized Trump.
A few hours after the shooting, the Trump campaign sent fundraising emails declaring “I WILL NEVER SURRENDER.” Almost exactly a day after the attempt on his life, Trump blasted out a fundraising email announcing “I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin and the Republican National Convention by two days, but I have just decided not to let this force a change to any scheduling. I am Donald J. Trump! … MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024.”
The election will, and must, go on. The campaigning isn’t going to stop – nor should it.
The tragedy in Butler, Pennsylvania should not be frivolously exploited for a quick campaign buck.
Those who pursue that route only display their lack of integrity and unfitness for public office.
Hmm, so, the CBC is turning up the heat, being disrespectful. Democrats will always try and fundraise off mass shootings and other tragedies, saying we need to Do Something. In case they missed it, a wacko tried to kill Trump. We’ll see what they CBC says the next time there is some tragedy and Democrats fundraise. Oh, and surely how nasty NBC affiliate WRAL will get during the convention.
Of course the Trump campaign should and will fund-raise and campaign off the shooting!! It’s why they set it up!
The kid was hired for the part and was firing blank rounds. He didn’t know getting assassinated was part of the deal. Snipers shot the kid (did you wonder why the snipers were aiming toward the kid BEFORE the kid shot?). Other unseen snipers shot the members in the crowd. When Mr Trump ducked behind the lectern, he or an SS protector nicked his ear, or popped “squibs” like they do in the movies. Real Secret Service would not have allowed Trump to stand up in the open after the “shooting” several times for photo ops.
Wow, just wow!
Guess that hole in his ear was faked too.
You are one Sick Mother Fucker.
As warned before, tread lightly around Affton, MO. People know where you live.
BTW, you never answered the $50M question.
He’s trolling you. Biden calls for unity, but no one listens to Biden, not even his own people. There has been no attempt by Democrats to walk back their over the top Rhetoric and admit that it was just campaigning and that they don’t really believe a second trump term would be anywhere near as bad as they claim.
Duh.
The Director of the Secret Service is Kimberly Cheatle. She’s white, but still a woman, still a DEI hire.
The Secret Service is under DHS headed by Alejandro Mayorkas. A Cuban immigrant and a DEI hire.
DEI is killing Americans!!
Duh!
Why is it the Republican strategy is to blame the shooting of Mr Trump, orchestrated by a crazed conservative, Republican gun-nut using the instrument of choice defended by the Party, is the fault of the Democrats?
Just fuck off already.
“Head of SS and DHS both DEI hires. “
Yes, that could totally explain the f*ck-up.
Meh. That is not as important as you think when it comes to politically appointed cabinet members. They are never assumed to have any real ability or experience. SecDHS is not failing because he is doing exactly what the Biden administration wants him to do: Ignore American immigration law and open the borders to all comers. Dir SS did have lots of experience in the SS and presidential detail. Not an automatically check-block DEI appointment. Remember, the Biden administration depends on the competence of the SS too. As Carter and Giffords found out, being a left wing moon bat is no guarantee that a leftist moon bat won’t try to off you. Though the assignment of those three girls to Trump’s team was inexcusable. If you can’t drag the protectee to safety, you shouldn’t be on the detail. America does not have a shortage of 6 foot tall gymrats with the intelligence, strength and personal courage to do that job.
According to Axios, Trump should apologize for getting shot.
“Democrats order flags to be flown at half-staff as Trump still alive….”
