Rep. Ronny Jackson revealed a chilling attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life, with his nephew unfortunately caught in the crossfire. As if the left’s vitriol wasn’t disgraceful enough, it seems some have resorted to actual violence. Ronny Jackson, who once served as Trump’s White House physician, had orchestrated the event for his nephew, who was situated in the friends and family section at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The chaos erupted when shots were fired, causing panic among the attendees. Thankfully, Jackson’s nephew only suffered a graze to the neck, though he was bleeding from where a bullet crossed his skin. According to Jackson on Fox News, someone positioned four or five rows behind them was critically injured, a stark reminder of the violence some are willing to employ.
In the midst of the mayhem, Trump himself was struck, a bullet piercing his upper right ear. Despite the assassination attempt unfolding mere moments after he began addressing the crowd, Trump’s quick thinking and the swift action of his Secret Service detail averted a catastrophe. He ducked below the podium, a protective human wall quickly forming around him.
Trump’s resilience shone through once again as he rose to his feet, undeterred, and pumped his fist toward the crowd. Shouting “Fight!” multiple times, he exemplified the fighting spirit that has always characterized his approach to the relentless opposition he’s faced.
Such an attack at a pre-Republican National Convention rally should serve as a sobering reminder of the extreme lengths some will go to in their blind hatred. It’s a clarion call for conservatives to stay vigilant, united, and ready to stand firm in defense of their values and leaders.
