In a shocking turn of events, former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated, an incident that has left an indelible mark not only on his life but also on the lives of his supporters who were present at the rally.
Two such attendees, Mia and Eric, shared their firsthand accounts of the incident with Alex Stein, revealing the chilling details of the day, including an encounter with the Secret Service.
According to The Blaze, Eric recounted the moment when the former President was hastily evacuated, "They were rushing him out, I ended up running up, I got within 30 feet of Trump in his motorcade driving off after he had just got shot. That was a failure of the Secret Service, terrible, terrible work." Following the incident, Eric was detained by the Secret Service, "So then, I was coming back, and they said, Put your hands up," he said, adding that he complied and was filled with adrenaline.
In the aftermath of the incident, numerous conspiracy theories have emerged, particularly from the left, suggesting that the assassination attempt was staged. Stein, the interviewer, expressed his skepticism about the Secret Service's handling of the situation, "I do think that the government, the Secret Service, and probably the CIA wanted it to happen, and they didnt follow the proper procedures in stopping this." However, Eric disagreed with the notion of the incident being staged, "I do not agree with them. I definitely saw him get shot and go down. I think it was definitely an inside job of some sort because theres no way he should have been able to get on that roof. Its like a direct perimeter for the Butler Fairgrounds."
Mia, another attendee, managed to capture the incident on video. She initially mistook the gunshots for firecrackers, "When it first happened, we thought it was firecrackers to be quite honest, but after Ive listened to the videos, you can hear multiple [shots being fired]."
The incident has raised serious questions about the security measures in place for the former president. It has also sparked a debate about the role of the Secret Service and other government agencies in ensuring the safety of high-profile individuals. Amidst the controversy and conspiracy theories, the firsthand accounts of Eric and Mia provide a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by public figures and the need for stringent security measures.
