In an opinion editorial published by the Daily Caller, author Ron Hart discusses the recent incident where former President Donald Trump narrowly escaped a shooting attempt.
Hart criticizes the Biden administration and the Secret Service for their alleged failures, questioning whether the government can be trusted to protect Trump. He also comments on the left's reaction to the incident, suggesting that their vilification of Trump since 2016 may have contributed to the situation.
Hart writes, "On Saturday, Donald Trump happened to turn his ample head at exactly the right time to miss being gravely shot by less than an inch." He further adds, "Call it Providence, luck or just another failure of the Biden administration, but it could have been a lot worse." The author also criticizes the Secret Service, stating, "Maybe the local Keystone Kops of the Keystone State messed up. The Secret Service certainly made mistakes."
The author also discusses the left's response to the incident, suggesting that their demonization of Trump since his Republican affiliation in 2016 may have played a role. Hart lists several instances where he believes the left has unfairly targeted Trump, including the Russia Hoax, the impeachment charges, and the January 6 trial.
Hart also criticizes the left-wing media and politicians for their sanctimonious calls to tone down language, stating, "The most hypocritical thing in the wake of the shooting is how the left-wing media and politicians act sanctimonious about how we need to tone down our language. This from the people who called Trump 'Hitler' for years."
The author concludes his piece by questioning the sincerity of the left's well-wishes for Trump's recovery, suggesting that their previous vilification of him contradicts their current sentiments. He also speculates on the origins of the assassination attempt, stating, "Again, I reserve judgment on the origins of this attempted assassination."
Hart's opinion editorial provides a critical perspective on the recent incident involving Trump, questioning the role of the Biden administration, the Secret Service, and the left's rhetoric in the situation. His views and opinions do not reflect the official position of the Daily Caller.
