Staff Reports
One year ago, a horrific assassination attempt unfolded against President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Shots rang out as Trump addressed supporters, turning a peaceful political event into a scene of chaos and bloodshed. This brazen attack shocked the nation and exposed alarming security failures that put American lives at risk.
President Trump miraculously survived the assassination attempt thanks to quick actions by courageous individuals. Tragically, fire chief Corey Comperatore lost his life while heroically shielding his family from the gunfire. This senseless violence stole a patriot who embodied the best of American courage.
The rally was held at Butler Farm Show Grounds to energize Trump supporters in the crucial swing state. Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes made it vital ground for the upcoming election. Just two days later, Republicans gathered at their national convention in Milwaukee.
A recent Senate report reveals shocking security lapses surrounding the attack. The Secret Service repeatedly denied requests for additional resources from Trump’s security team. These failures included refusing counter-sniper personnel and drone defense systems desperately needed for protection.
This wasn’t just bureaucratic incompetence – it was a deadly betrayal of duty. The agency responsible for protecting presidents ignored clear warning signs and direct requests. Their negligence created preventable vulnerabilities that nearly cost a leader his life.
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna rightly demands full transparency about this attack. She’s experienced firsthand the escalating threats against conservatives since that day. Luna courageously calls for Trump to release all information about the assassination attempt.
Many Americans see disturbing connections between Democrat rhetoric and these attacks. The toxic language used by left-wing leaders creates dangerous environments where violence festers. Patriots won’t stand for this targeting of conservative voices.
One year later, we honor Corey Comperatore’s sacrifice and demand accountability. Americans deserve the full truth about the security failures that enabled this attack. Releasing all information is crucial to prevent future atrocities against our leaders.
