Naked with 2 guns, but SS didn't see him. š®
was that trump din even flinch to move to a different location and while the vice president vance was moved out?
This it not even close to what happened we obviously are not getting any details because they donāt want to let everyone know security is lacking. Screaming inside job.
He was taken down within 5 seconds. Stop the nonsense.
FAKE NEWS!
At least 2 parts of their multi level security system failed.
Fake
so weird he had a gun and fired shots? and he was taken down with even being shot?
don't they just erase the threat by shooting?
this is too suspicious. Trump has never attended the correspondents dinner before. He hates people making jokes about him — he is not a good sport. so why would he go now when his presidency is in shambles? Unless, he was planning a stunt like this?
Imagine if this was all just to justify the need and cost of the ballroom
So close!
Is that dude implying that the signs being held by the protesters were the only type of speech that might motivated someone to do what the shoote tried to do tonight? Nothing trump himself may have done?
Another set up? Suprised how the security outside looked like that and now he can just go right inside. How they took TD away was š than movie stunt.
"Mission failed. We'll get 'em next time"
Only this coverage is as staged as the event itself
Patel earning his pardon āsir,sir,sirā
This is a failure. He should not have been able to enter the building
Fake…
Same camera they used for the lunar lending
Did he die on the way to the hospital?
LMAO Erica kirk in tears 24/7 since the husband she hated died.
Thank God a scary black rifle wasn't involved. Whew; had me scared for a minute.
Why release this information? The perp could have died of his injuries later, after interrogation.
revolt against tyranny
Lmao. Another distraction from the Iran embarrassment. The world laughs at your shenanigans. No one believes anything . Funny people
Aren't guns great?
I'm curious about what the kitchen staff directions were for the event.
The guests were sitting down for dinner. I saw one dinner roll on a table. A platter of dinner rolls in an aisle. Wasn't there any food to feed the hundreds of journalists that were asked more than once to continue to hang out and just wait? Wait for what? Feed them. Unless of course the random dinner rolls and green bottles on the tables Was the meal ? š§
Love the security guy who jumped out of the way. Good job.
I was born at night… not last night!
Motive? Maybe he was making a move for the shrimp platters?
The dude has zero musculatureā¦heās a Reddit mod
staged.
What some people will DO to get on that ISLAND to be Exonerated from GETTING indicted is truly incredible ; (
I wonder if Vegas can give odds on which conspiracy theory the MAGA crowd will go with. I mean what are the chances a lone gunman would do something like this?
Trumps speech and doings is why this happened in the first place
If I had a dime for every time CBS says 'we don't know the motive' with a straight face.
They thought he was a porter or service staff, then he ran fast, but too stupid to be successful, good lord god always blesses our President..thank god
FAKE NEWS. REPUBLICAN HOAX. STAGED SHOOTING. GIVE THIS MAN HIS LITTLE REALITY TV SHOW PLAQUE AND LET'S MOVE ON.
Not falling for this BS again.
