Today, from Mark Alford (r):

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 17, 2024]
Saturday’s attempted assassination of President Trump came AFTER the Secret Service reportedly stepped up its security measures.
How could this have happened?
The American people deserve answers, and they will get them.
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

REGISTERED REPUBLICAN shooter, all is not well in the Republican Party. Not at all.

[….] Father a registered Republican
Mother a registered Democrat. This was going to be the first time this kid voted.

[….] He was a registered Republican.

[….] he could have done that just to vote against someone in the Republican primary.

[….] Pennsylvania has closed primaries, meaning a registered Republican can only vote on the Republican primary ticket. Try again.

[….] exactly. So he was voting for someone else instead of Trump. [….] It’s been done often.

And how would anyone know?

[….] shooter was a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

[….] DJT registered as a Republican but is a Fascist.

The FBI and Secret Service are corrupt. Remember the cocaine?

Sure we will. There is NO TRUTH in DC. Only cover ups and lies.

Stepped up security. RIGHT. They gave all the security to Jill Biden. They are not fooling the American people.

[….] So … the beans are spilled on the CRISIS ACTORS in suits surrounding #PutinsBitch!

[….] And 87,000 additional IRS agents armed. Makes sense, right?

[…..] That’s not true. Research it. Those IRS agents due to be hired are replacing retiring staff, and range from desk clerks, to the mail room, to data entry clerks, to actual field agents. There are not going to be 87K armed IRS agents, that’s another Republican lie, and indicative of what is wrong with the Republican party. Learn the actual truth and stop adding to the problem by posting incendiary lies.

Total BS , just another hoax to draw attention away from the real planners of the assassination, the deep state and higher level secret service

Iran wasn’t behind this. A lonely American citizen that helped old people and saw no hope for his own future did this.
What does American politics say about leaders who do not serve their jobs and roles?

[….] LOL. No. YOU are either shockingly naive or ignorant of truth. It’s not a Party issue. We have a PEOPLE problem. If you look at history (which is amazingly and historically full of people AND weaponry,) you will find that folks didn’t just willy nilly go into schools/places of worship/pick your place, and arbitrarily kill the innocent. This has become a huge issue since we started giving too much credence to people’s narcissistic leanings.

Check out Bill Eigel, Republican candidate for governor in Missouri….he’s using a flamethrower in his ads, and vowed to keep using it, even after that staged event….

[….] she’s an uptight ignorant gash that hates America.

[….] Also, the HATE SPEECH Bill Eigel promotes in those ads is beyond the pale. Openly screaming hate and division. He’s totally unfit to serve in any capacity.

[….] Is that why Traitor Trump supporters fly swastika flags, and Confederate flags? Because they love America?

[….] good as those are the smart ones that love seeing Americans prosper. Unlike you angry liberal fascit dipfocs that hate America.

[….] Ummm, again, fascism is a right-wing ideology….can you dress yourself?

[….] another ignorant post by an ignorant gash.

[….] Cry harder, MAGAt! Your tears are delicious!

[….] you and your liberal douchenozzle will be crying in Nov when your pedophile hero Biden loses.

No chance we are getting any answers. FBI leading the way—they have been trying to get him locked up for a couple of years. SS won’t answer any questions publicly because they know how bad it is. Either they were in on it or it was botched beyond belief. Either way, not good moving forward for the country.

That was a step up? I’m not LE- my husband is and is an FBI Academy graduate and we saw mistake after mistake- his protection wasn’t even close to the protection they claim. This makes me very nervous about our country’s security! Do better!

Protection sucked

JD Vance & Mike Johnson will send weak minded Trump to the golf course and then take over !

If they was stepping it up there would have been drones !!
And a ladder should have been a clue.

We got it. No need to keep up the repetitive posts unless you’re trying to keep people angry.

Defund them like you’re threatening to do to the FBI? Like you did the IRS?

What are Vance’s connections to Peter Thiel? [….]

Well, duh. Thanks Captain Obvious.

I think the Secret Service got some ‘splainin’ to do!

The American people, mentally cognitive ones anyway, already know what happened. For nine years trump has promoted violence, cheered on violence, and reveled in it’s afterglow. And violence answered his call. Had UT been anyone but trump you would have dropped a one time post, maybe offered “thoughts and prayers,” and let it at that.

[….] if it had been biden it would have been derision and jeers, much like when pelosi’s husband was attacked.

[….] I think you mean Biden and all his murderous cronies!

[….] how about all of the calls from the left to assinate Trump, but yeah it was all him you dumb ass! Wake up!!

[….] calling people names is what we expect from Republicans, but that does not mean it is acceptable.

[….] like you guys don’t call us names every single day…..racists, homophonic, etc…stfu

[….] we don’t want him to become a martyr. Out of sight, earshot and mind would be great, just not a martyr for you all.

[….] and he is a racist, misogynistic, a crook, a liar, an adjudicated sexual predator, adulter and a fornicator. He’s not a Christian and he certainly isn’t qualified to lead anything but his cult.

I’d be more concerned with finding out why a Republican, with a legally purchased AR, tried to kill him.
But yeah. It’s the Secret Services fault.

[….] he had ties to Antifa, he had recently donated to actblue, and it was his father’s gun. Yes, it was the Secret Service’s fault.

[….] 2021, 15 dollars to a Super PAC, and actually a 68 year old man in Pittsburgh with a similar name made the donation. The kid was pure MAGA.
Why do you guys never take pride in trying to start your Civil War? JAN 6 was some of your best work. Then deny. At least the Southern Democrats of the 1860’s took pride in their work.

[….] lame! But go ahead and try to use that. He donated to the Democrats before registering as a Republican. What’s the point here? He was a delusional mutant. He took some shots at a former president and murdered innocents in the process. He’s dead and his Creator has judged him. What’s the point in regard to his political affiliation?? There is no point!

[….] I feel sorry for people like you!

[….] because I think the cause should be investigated? I feel sorry for you only wanting to hate.

[…] not hating just wish you would use common sense but I know that is impossible!

[….] common sense? Wanting to know why is as common sense as it gets.
Of course common sense would also imply that you are as purple as I, but we both know you are stuck in a political movement bent on civil war.

[….] yes he registered as republican but he was not a republican. He is not part of the MAGA movement! There is much more going on than we are being told! And yes it was the Secret Services fault for not securing that building! Period!!!

It’s a cult.

[….] that Secret Service detail was hand picked by Trump. Every one a Trump loyalist. They have even been accused of deleting phone messages to help Trump. Now you want us to believe those very same loyalist tried to kill him.
I don’t think you actually know what common sense is.

[…] wrong again! You know what you are going to believe what you want and that is your right! I will pray for you!!!

[….] Father a registered Republican
Mother a registered Democrat. This was going to be the first time this kid voted.

[….] yup. And in MAGA world, a woman’s opinion doesn’t matter. If dad’s republican, so is the rest of the family. It’s those Christian values.

[….] DJT is a Republican on paper, but really a fascist.

[….] and it is – their job is to PROTECT they failed!

[….] if we assume it was legit. Like 9/11, Sandy Hook, Kennedy (J and R).
By the way. I’m still waiting for Obama to take my guns. Or was it Clinton? Carter? Who knows?

[….] I have a question for those agents….Why did they help Traitor Trump stage that? And why were they willing to let a MAGAt with a gun, kill another MAGAt and wound 2 more?

[….] Trump is not a Traitor and did not stage this. There were so many innocence one killed two in critical condition. Only an idiot would think that and I was a Democrat. Shaking my head.[….] The gun mans father was a registered Republican and mother a registered Democrat. This would have been his first time voting for the shooter. ( son )

[….] wait until the investigation is complete instead of making up stupid stuff that’s in your mind. We are all human beings no matter what your political views are. I’m very sorry a husband/father was killed and two others in critical condition. I’m also thankful that Donald Trump was not hurt any worse or killed. Killing should not be condoned for anyone.

That’s wrong….he got 2nds for sure…look at the lady who can’t even holster her gun…or short people….seriously….DEI, and corrupt secret service for sure…prob. Cia and others in involved too…come on….a roof, a ladder, a gun, parked over 1/2 mile away, everyday people saw the guy( not trained) No one is buying this bs

Republican Shooter
Over and over again, here, too, the shooter is the one
Who’s registered Republican, and had a legal gun,
He took some extra magazines, he’s Christian, male, and white,
And thinks that shooting people that he doesn’t like is right.
The magats should embrace this young man in their brotherhood
He got a gun and ammunition as they say he should,
He took a stand, did what he planned, all great right-wing routine
You’d think that they’d embrace him and his black AR-15.
And though he was Republican, this shooter seeking change,
Spent too much time on politics instead of at the range.
Republicans will never vote for any gun control
But here’s a chance to make them show the hardness of their soul:
The Democrats should introduce a bill to great renown
“The Donald Trump Gun Safety Act”, and make them vote it down…..]

[….] just like they did Kyle Rittenhouse, you don’t take an AR15 with you to provide medical assistance. That punk got away with murder. You know your poster boy Republicans!!!

Gosh so many conspiracy theories, how about this one trump and cronies set the whole thing up and holly rollers were the main makers of the plans ,so we can be United as a country that was not never founded by by Christians and want this country was built under a white nationalist Christianity who brought salves over to America then regretted it later and the bible be taught in schools if that child refusing not to go to such a class the gallows will be waiting for him so they are making plans to deport people with all names that sound like they are from anywhere south of the borders housing problems fixed it’s only a conspiracy theory man made ideology the GOP have for us higher taxes for us less for the rich to make the wealthiest wealthier [….]long list 900 pages read it project 2025

Congressman Mark Alford so you blame the Secret Service, solely due to the fact that they are part of the Department of Homeland Security, which is run by Mayorkas? What about the pathetic security from the Butler Police Department? Crooks was on top of the staging room for the Butler Police Department! Here’s video that shows that Crooks was spotted lurking around way before the shooting! You are a complete disgrace to the US House of Representatives!
