President Donald Trump was the apparent target of another assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Saturday night.
The event was safely evacuated after shots were fired in the lobby as a man attempted to breach the Secret Service protection.
The suspect has since been identified as 31-year-old Cole Allen, a school teacher from Torrance, California.
A Secret Service Agent was shot and injured during the incident.
However, the miserable leftists over on Bluesky are absolutely convinced that the event was a “staged theatrical event.”
Among their wild theories was the idea that the attack would somehow increase Republican success in the midterms and distract from Trump’s alleged dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.
Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged. Staged.

The Epstein Files were not harmed in tonight’s staged theatrical event.

Trump is still going to give his speech. You’re going to tell me this wasn’t staged?
(Trump claims the shooting at the WHCA is WHY WE NEED THE BALLROOM AT THE WHITE HOUSE??????? Yeah definitely staged.

(Does anyone really care that Trump ‘staged’ another false flag attack on his pathetic life…

Looked staged to me, propagandist grifter Erika Kirk’s fake crying was the first clue alongside creepy racist scumbag JD Vance being evacuated first.

According to police in Washington, D.C., the suspect had checked into the hotel before his attempted rampage.
They added that it was an “isolated incident” and there is “no reason to believe at this time that anyone else was involved” and there was no risk of “any sort of danger to the public.”
Jeffery W. Carroll says an armed suspect (shotgun, handgun, multiple knives) charged a Secret Service checkpoint in Washington, DC.
