Deep State Involvement? Assassination Attempt? Trump’s Ear Bleeds as Shots Fired at Rally

During a MAGA rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, shots were fired, prompting Secret Service agents to swiftly remove former President Donald Trump from the podium. Trump was seen bleeding from his ear as he was rushed offsite.

Ten minutes into his speech about his America First plan, six or seven shots were heard. Trump quickly took cover behind the podium, and dozens of attendees hit the ground. Despite appearing to be hit in the ear, Trump pumped his fist to the crowd, shouting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as Secret Service agents flanked him and escorted him offstage. His motorcade was then seen departing the rally.

Right Side Broadcasting reported live from the scene, where Secret Service agents were urging attendees to vacate the area.

Trump later stated he was “fine” after the attempted shooting and was being treated at a nearby medical facility.

The Secret Service issued the following 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.”

The county prosecutor reported that two people were killed at the rally, including the suspected shooter. Butler Police identified the now-deceased suspected shooter as Mark Violets. Video footage shows first responders carrying what appears to be a body from the event.

One rally attendee, a physician, told CBS News that he tried to treat a rallygoer caught in the gunman’s line of fire.

This alarming event comes just days after Trump confidante Roger Stone warned that the Deep State, feeling threatened, might resort to assassination to stop President Trump. True to form, CNN's headline following the attempted assassination read, “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.”

The House Judiciary GOP noted that President Joe Biden had recently made a controversial statement against Trump, saying, “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
