It feels like January 6th all over again 😔
I don't care how passionate you are about photo-journalism, anyone standing up with a dark object (smartphone) pointed at The Dais, is literally putting those prominent people's lives at higher risk, because you are greatly dividing the attention of all of those officers who are trying to protect lives. YOU WERE ORDERED TO GET DOWN for multiple reasons. Fast forward to 11:47. Do you see that sniper's light focused DIRECTLY on you… yeah, that's a valuable moment when the officer was wasting his time aiming at YOU. Thumbs down to you, Sir
FAKE NEWS! Just like that fake ear scar that doesn't show (unlike his bruised hands and fat, swollen cankles).
They murdered an innocent kid to make Chump look good. RIP Thomas Crooks.
Hoax, Drama, Acting.
No one is disturbed by this idiocy. Nice work cnn finding a few clips that suggest this was actually a thing
I'm over this untill it has a different outcome
As if US doesn’t have enough enemies, they need more amongst themselves domestically..
If someone really wanted to take this delusional airhead person out, they would have already. This is how we all know it’s staged, especially with the poor acting and how the “attempted assassination” always occur right during certain situation where he can’t resolve, answer, or is trying to bypass. Take the Epstein files for an example 🙄
Strange that the shooter was not shot given all the vvip in the room. I wonder why .
Can’t believe how the gunman just runs passed the secret service check point and even get some shots off, not very good training
Here we go again hard to belive this was for real this was a set up again like the first time . The show go on The White House is runn by criminals and chaos..
Keep trying , bets are in TheLiar(47) laying in state on July 4th 2026 😊✌️🇺🇸
If the shooter was MAGA would the left still think this was stagged 🤔 😅 doubt it. Shii if it drops 2morrow that he voted trump all this stagged crap will go out the window
Don't panic guys! They're doing an emergency response drill!
A teacher breached U.S. presidential security and disrupted a state dinner so badly it had to be canceled—either it was fake, or the incompetence was staggering.
Cnn’s Spin and speculation on full display here! They have no clue
They need the new White House’s ballroom
Jimmy Kimmel went on air and referred to Melania as an “expectant widow” just before the shooting. Why is the Secret Service and FBI not at Kimmel’s door right now ?
Hey Team, I want CNN to succeed, I think you have wonderful commentators like Bakari, Vance, and especially Scott, well spoken and enjoyable geniuses in their field.
But I want to give feedback on one thing that is holding you back in the worst way: Brian Stelter, I think he is smart, fairly informed(but always seems misguided)
He just turns me and anyone I know who wants to believe in CNN, off.
If you have radio shows or some remedial job with a need for “media” and “social networking” that is on during a non-high volume of viewers type, give him a job there. I cannot think of a single person in the last 1” years alone that I’ve had the pleasure of knowing who said “oh!! I can’t wait to see Brian’s opinion”
Personally I am shocked you brought him back, I get it, there is some both ways loyalty there…. But stop asking his opinion, that is the moment I(and anyone I know who only tunes in for Abbey.. for Scott, and even Bakari a bit)
But Brian is just toxic, his Trump hate cost him his career, let him go to the we graveyard, give him a severance, but please STOP entertaining his opinion, it’s just repulsive, every time
😒
The President etc are not special, they are corrupt and criminal who need to be held accountable
Common cnn u know its staged stop reporting this circus
A staged performance for the sake of ratings and the upcoming elections. and to distract from the failure in Iran
Never seen chicks in high heels run so fast in my life.
u were there too !? 😂😂😂😂
I’m not buying this Oz Pearlman shooting show.. main reason to get out Trump from there with clean hands and Golden ballroom done.. shooter the LONLEY ACTOR background is kind he’s oz pearlman friend or something
He’s showing some tiny paper to Trump ..so he didn’t remember what name was written there?? Very interesting 🤨.. looks very real but I’m not still buying it😂😂
Philip Calderon said Puerto Rican are models. Not Russians. Go to psychics.
Something smells fishy about it
They stripped that guy naked or what?!
Hope that black dude wasn’t law enforcement…if so he fired! lol he transformed into a statue 😂
So someone running full speed towards Secret Service and does get tackled or shoot at 🤔 who then shoots his gun and doesn't get shoot but then gets tackled🤔. Did this script come out of Amazon MGM studies?
They should have get steven spielberg or Spike Lee to stage their events. He said gunfire the guy next to trump say bom, what the fuck CNN
Boo hoo. CNN's
Nerd Prom ruined. 😅
🇺🇸🇺🇲 DT'28 🇺🇸🇺🇲
STAGED JUST LIKE THE FIRST "ATTEMPT" BOTH OCCURED WHEN POLLING AT HIS LOWEST.
The man is a crook and a liar. Believe NOTHING he says or does.
34 time felon and oath-breaking insurrectionist.
Sorry liberals but you lose again
Staged!
CNN is partly responsible for this incident for spread hatred and instigating those who are against the administration to do the act because CNN can only do through words by spread hatred in the name of freedom of Press. All CNN reporters and the owner needs to be searched and questioned by the FBI
