President’s Corner
Butler, One Year Later
It is hard to believe that today is already one year since Donald Trump was almost assassinated in Butler, PA. What is more concerning is that we still do not know the truth about who was behind it. Six low level secret service agents were suspended for a series of failures to protect President Trump that day. The suspensions are for only 10-42 days with the right to appeal. They include a failure to coordinate with local officials and a general lack of planning, most especially the failure to secure the roof top on which 20-year-old, Thomas Matthew Crooks, lay in wait with a direct line of sight to the stage as he attempted to assassinate Donald Trump. We watched as Crooks’ actions took the life of firer-fighter Corey Comperatore and injured others.
The suspensions, to me, are "token measures". Why weren't any top officials fired? We must demand answers and the truth must be exposed. Republicans in Congress have expressed concerns regarding law enforcement’s communications on the day of the campaign event, the lack of Secret Service manpower, and the failure of law enforcement to block clear lines of sight. The Secret Service considered the complex to be outside the secure perimeter and deferred to state and local law enforcement officials to cover the AGR building and the area around it according to the panel’s report. What an abject failure of judgement for a supposed “cream of the crop” protection force.
The FBI deliberately deceived people about Crook’s motivation. After the attack then Deputy Director Paul Abbate shared a social media account from 2019-2020 timeframe of over 700 comments some attributable to Crooks, stating "They seemed to reflect anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and were described as extreme in nature." He stated that the investigative team was still working to verify this account to determine if it did belong to Crooks. This seemed to push the “Left’s” version of what MAGA is.
Pushing back, Senator Marsha Blackburn quoted the CEO of this Gab account who stated that “the account was unequivocally, pro-Biden and in particular pro-Biden’s immigration policy and to his knowledge Crooks was a pro-lockdown, pro-immigration, left-wing Joe Biden supporter.” Abbate’s response was that they were still working to verity if it was Crooks’ account but "appears" it would have a different point of view. Turns out it is a Democrat platform! Yet the FBI stuck to their story!
A new book is out by author Salena Zito entitled Butler, The untold Story of the Near Assassination of Donald Trump and the Fight for America’s Heartland”. Ms. Zito is a reporter for the Washington Examiner. She & two family members were on stage with Trump and in the line of fire. She was supposed to travel with him to Bedminster after the rally to interview him. Instead, President Trump called her several times the next day because he wanted to talk about what happened. He asked how she and her family were doing. She could not believe that after being shot, his concern was for them, not himself.
They had an in-depth conversation as he wanted to “sort things out.” He talked to her about many things. Why he decided to move his neck at that moment & why he had that chart up. They had conversations about God and the hand of God & what his purpose now was because he believed he had a higher purpose. He explained why he said “Fight, Fight, Fight”. He told her “I wasn’t Donald Trump when I said Fight, Fight, Fight, I was representing the country. I was saying that because I was supposed to project our grit, our exceptionalism, and our strength. I did it for the country.”
So today I say Thank You President Trump for inspiring us to be fearless in our love and devotion to our country and to its founding principles. We will never forget and we will continue to demand answers!
