You mean the party known for lying and falsification didn’t have an assassin plant meant to take the fall for the planned assassination attempt against the fascist presidential candidate in order to further bolster the support from his allies and voters?
There’s no way this wasn’t staged. And quite frankly, if the repubs are allowed to make up stuff, so is everyone else.
Definitely a planned assassination attempt. Used as the rallying call for his supporters. The picture of him holding his fist up just after being shot at proved it; no one, I believe, would be able to muster that sort of gusto after having a real attempt on their life.
