Good God, at this point, all Trump needs is the shortened mustache and some of his goons to burn down a legislative building.

The man apprehended gave his name as John Miller, claiming to be a publicist, interviewer and bad hombre gunslinger.

Congrats, AP, for finally calling out Trump campaign lies within the same article. But you missed one. Hillary didn’t “[run] away from the rain,” she cut short her speech to dance in the rain, according to reporter from NYT actually covering the event: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/06/us/politics/hillary-clinton-rain-moment.html.

Trump is such a fraud my first thought was that he may have faked an assassination attempt as a way to drum up the sympathy vote.

On Brian William’s show on MSNBC, writer Jon Meacham talked about the intersection of “politics and celebrity”. What a perfect example. With no facts or evidence key members of the Trump campaign immediately label this as an ‘assassination attempt’ and try to exploit it. It’s just a like a local news program that interrupts its broadcast to cover a fire in progress. The fire has more impact than whatever they happen to be discussing at the moment so they shift to it. At this point, if a bird fell out of a tree at a Trump rally his staff would probably claim that he was ‘under a missile attack’.

I liked this editorial much better.

Waiting for the idiots in MSM to glorify the “assassination attempt” and ignore the Campaigns outright lies and bullshit :angry:

Trump thanked the Secret Service and told the crowd: “Nobody said it was going to be easy for us. But we will never be stopped. Never ever be stopped. Until Tuesday night anyway.”

Couldn’t help myself. :slight_smile:

But, wait. Shouldn’t everyone feel warm, happy, and safe if someone shouts, “Gun!”?

They’re desperate and trying to squeeze out a few sympathy votes.

Was the man who shouted “gun” later identified as an FBI agent, who justified his outburst as “just trying to help our candidate look tough”?

And wear the hell did the storm troopers in full battle gear come from?

Why didn’t that guy have a gun? How did he leave his home unarmed?

REALITY: A Republican male holding a “Republicans Against tRump” sign.

Man was handcuffed and escorted off premises then released with no charges.

Donald tRump remains a total moron.

UPDATE (10:20 p.m.): The man seized by police was unarmed and posed no threat to the candidate. The Department of Homeland Security said that the man was a protester who was attempting to unfurl a sign. The crowd thought they saw a gun and overreacted.

Well, a “Republicans against Trump” sign is a pretty potent weapon.
