It’s been more than a month since a 20-year-old nearly assassinated Donald Trump while he was speaking at a rally, live on national television. I used to say that the gunman had somehow managed to “evade” the Secret Service, but actually, he didn’t even do that. He was spotted by the Secret Service numerous times — including by Secret Service counter-snipers, who saw the gunman on top of a roof, with clear line of sight to Donald Trump, more than 20 minutes before he began shooting.
The shooter was also photographed walking around the rally openly carrying an AR-15. This is a picture that was just obtained by Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna:
