Jesse Ventura: Trump Assassination Attempt in Butler Was Staged

Hey Jesse, you shaky senile POS,

If you don't believe that Trump was shot in Butler or that a man named Corey Comperatore was shot and killed that day, you should go speak to Corey's daughters instead of spreading conspiracy theories on the bush league Jerry Springer Show. pic.twitter.com/o7SoysImKe

Thomas Crooks - No Answers

1 year ago today, a 20 year old named Thomas Crooks somehow evaded local law enforcement and Secret Service and nearly blew off President Trump’s head on live TV.

Crooks’ body was quietly released shortly after the incident by the FBI and cremated.

We have no clue what… pic.twitter.com/1tn88VSwXc

The immediate cremation of Thomas Crooks convinced me this assassination attempt was bigger than him.

President Trump miraculously escaped death by the narrowest of margins. Corey Comperatore was murdered and two others were critically injured.

The victims deserve answers. We all deserve answers.

Corey Comperatore's Family Deserves Answers

🚨 Corey Comperatore's widow Helen demands answers after he was killed during the attempted assassination of President Trump at a rally in Butler, PA a year ago tomorrow.

She deserves answers!

One year ago, President Trump was nearly assassinated. He narrowly escaped with his life.

Firefighter, devoted husband and father Corey Comperatore was not spared. He was murdered. His family deserves to know the details that led to his death.

All Americans should have access to the facts of the attempted assassination of 2024 candidate President Trump. We all deserve the truth, but obviously, Corey Comperatore's wife and daughters have a deeply personal stake in learning the information currently being withheld about the people and circumstances of the presidential assassination attempt.

Of course, Helen Comperatore wants answers.

Ronald Rowe Claims Secret Service 'Procedures Work'

🚨Are you kidding me?

Despite an attempted assassin being able to stick a scoped-rifle through a fence on President Trump’s golf course, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe Jr. said “the procedures work, the redundancies work.”

pic.twitter.com/7tH4GdcB8D

— Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) September 20, 2024

When it comes to protecting President Trump, the procedures of the Secret Service have been so awful and so inadequate that it seems like Ronald Rowe is conspiring with someone to carry out an assassination.

Both assassination attempts should never have been allowed to happen. The Secret Service's failures got President Trump shot and two rallygoers seriously wounded, and a third, Corey Comperatore, murdered.

The Secret Service permitted wannabe assassin Ryan Routh to hang out on President Trump's golf course, stick a rifle through a fence, and lie in wait.

I don't call that "working."

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2024

There is no question that the irresponsible rhetoric of the Democrats/Never Trumpers, but especially the things spewed by powerful leaders like Kamala Harris an Joe Biden, has radicalized people to carry out violence.

Networks like MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, AND CNN amplify the hate toward President Trump and his supporters. It's disgusting and deadly.

There have been two attempts on President Trump's life, one bullet hitting him and narrowly missing his brain by centimeters. Corey Comperatore was murdered while participating in a Trump rally.

Kamala Harris' America is a dangerous, ugly place. Sad but true.

I agree. The silence is shocking. The effort to make the assassination attempt and the examination of the events disappear is as disturbing, in the long term, as the violence itself. It's another attack on our democracy.

The family of Corey Comperatore is in my prayers. This good man was murdered, leaving his family broken. Dismissing the assassination attempt is to dismiss the value of Corey's life.

The Secret Service didn't just put President Trump's life in danger. Every person at that rally in Butler was in danger.

There must be accountability. When I think of Kim Cheatle and her sloped roof BS, it makes my blood boil. The security failures were absolutely inexcusable.

What a disgrace! Corey Comperatore is dead. A former president and possibly the next was almost assassinated. Two others were seriously wounded.

People in the Secret Service need to be fired for this inexcusable failure. Why isn't Biden outraged about it? Why isn't he doing anything?

Both Biden and Harris were quick to declare that border agents were whipping illegal immigrants. They both repeatedly expressed their anger. They didn't wait for investigations.

How could the Secret Service pre-event coordination be so poor? Can this really be blamed on incompetence?

Corey Comperatore was killed because of their failures. Three others were shot, including President Trump. They have blood on their hands.

The FBI, a proven enemy of President Trump, cannot be charged with leading the investigation into the attempted assassination.

We need adults back in charge, not these incompetent, selfish, political hacks that allowed the murder of Corey Comperatore.

Corey Comperatore's Widow Refuses Biden's Call

Firefighter Corey Comperatore’s widow refused Biden call after Trump rally shooting: ‘Didn’t want to talk to him’ https://t.co/q73faTHW57 pic.twitter.com/i21lVOz6Iw

— New York Post (@nypost) July 15, 2024

From the New York Post:

The heartbroken widow of Corey Comperatore, the hero firefighter shot dead by a sniper at a Trump rally, wanted nothing to do with President Biden when he called after the tragedy, she told The Post.

“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Helen Comperatore said from her Pennsylvania home on Monday. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.”

... “I don’t have any ill will towards Joe Biden. I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics.

“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will towards Biden,” she added. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”

God be with Helen Comperatore and her daughters.
