Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation with host Margaret Brennan to discuss yet another attempted assassination against President Trump and his administration officials.
Margaret Brennan tried to get Blanche in a debate about gun control after a left-wing would-be assassin stormed the lobby of the Washington Hilton and opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The shooter, Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, traveled to DC by train. Margaret Brennan tried to get Blanche into a debate about gun control.
Allen sent his family a manifesto parroting Democrat-media talking points and expressing his hatred for “rapist, traitor” Trump.
Margaret Brennan wanted to make the attempted assassination by a left-wing lunatic about gun control.
“Here in the District of Columbia, open carry is not permitted. You just said he traveled from California across the country by train,” Brennan said.
“At this point, are you thinking at the federal level of changing security protocols in any way to, for example, match on trains what you are expected to go through when you fly, when you do have to declare a weapon when you cross state lines?” she added.
“Look, this isn’t about, in my mind, changing the law or making the laws more restrictive around possession of firearms,” Blanche said.
“It appears he purchased the firearms in the past couple of years. We don’t know how the firearms ended up in his possession in DC,” Blanche added.
“We can make some assumptions based on what I said of how he got to DC, but I don’t think the narrative here is about changing laws or making our laws more restrictive,” he said.
