Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has shared a post suggesting the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, was staged, sparking fresh debate, despite the fact that photographic evidence shows a bullet streaking past his head.

In a move that echoes conspiracy claims once pushed heavily by the left, Greene amplified a detailed post from Trisha Hope, a self-described long-time Trump supporter and national delegate. The post questions Trump’s handling of the aftermath, from his RNC speech to Secret Service promotions, while ignoring hard facts like the bullet trajectory captured on camera and the death of rally attendee Corey Comperatore.

“Extremely important post worth the read and consideration,” Greene wrote. “Corey Comperatore’s family deserves to know the truth about Matthew Crooks and what happened in Butler on July 13, 2024.”

“President Trump, of all people, should be leading the charge,” Greene added. “Why isn’t he? That’s the question.”

The shared post by Hope dives deep into skepticism. It references Trump’s RNC remarks: “‘So many people have asked me what happened. Tell us what happened, please. And therefore, I will tell you exactly what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s actually too painful to tell.’”

“In my opinion Trump made that statement to stop any further conversation about what happened. He gave us his official story, would only do it once and that was the end of it,” Hope wrote.

Hope also highlighted post-inauguration actions: “Following the inauguration, I found it odd that Trump wasn’t going aggressively after those who allowed this to happen. He seemed to behave like it was no big deal. His Secret Service detail failed him massively, allowed him to be shot, and they allowed that perfectly timed photo op to take place. Instead of his SS detail being terminated as they should have been, Trump made the gentleman in the white shirt the HEAD of the Secret Service on January 22, 2025. Instead of losing his job Sean Curran was given a massive promotion.”

“Now, I want you to look critically at this photo. They allowed President Trump to stand up, exposing multiple potential kill shots, as the flag is gently lowered. Interesting that the other SS agents lower their heads as the perfectly time ICONIC photo is taken. Honestly, it couldn’t have been scripted better if were to have been done in a studio,” the post continues.
