Former President Donald Trump was playing golf at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida, when he was ushered to safety—a wannabe assassin identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, a deranged leftist, was placed under arrest after being engaged by Secret Service agents doing a routine sweep of the gold course ahead of the former president. Agents noticed what looked like a rifle barrel sticking out of the fence. Routh later dropped everything and ran; an AK-style rifle with a scope and a GoPro were found at the scene.

BREAKING: Trump was the subject of an 'apparent assassination attempt' at his Florida golf club, FBI says https://t.co/L0gGKpQOHv

We’re at a point where leftists are either saying no such assassination attempt happened, only to be forced to eat crow after the Biden DOJ has labeled this event an ‘attempted assassination attempt’ at Trump International Golf Club. They’re not calling for gun control or making quips about it despite the fact it was one of them who tried to kill the former president. Once again, the liberal media tried to blame Trump for this incident, with NBC News’ Lester Holt noting the Trump campaign’s purported heated rhetoric on the campaign trail. Vaughn Hillyard even tried to connect these assassination attempts to January 6.
"Stop making us trying to murder you" explained NBC News. https://t.co/3BZ2qGVqeg

MSNBC's Frank Figluzzi channels Obama's "bitter clinger" rhetoric in calling for a gun grab on the heels of the Second Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump, spreads disinfo by claiming Florida is an open carry state. pic.twitter.com/HDTiTU6eoR

Two assassination attempts of former President Trump in the span of 65 days. Incredibly concerning.

The next page in the playbook is playing dumb about Routh’s motives. X nuked his account. Facebook scrubbed his page as well. For a while, you could see what this man tweeted in the past. He's an unhinged anti-Trump clown. We know what the motive was, guys:
The latest Trump assassin has been transferred to FBI custody.

You'll never hear about a motive again.
So, isolated nutter is gonna be a harder sell when the NYT was happily quoting him as a sophisticated activist. https://t.co/5iyLLyyyqZ

Absolutely love the Democrats trying to claim the alleged assassin's politics are unclear.

Aside from his @BulwarkOnline neoconservatism, he begged Biden to beat Trump just 5 months ago because - echoing every liberal pundit - "DEMOCRACY is on the ballot." Huge mystery. pic.twitter.com/Ogf64IZ4XH

Also, tonight was the season premiere of CBS’ 60 Minutes and their opening segment was about January 6.
