Former Georgia congresswoman and one-time Donald Trump allyMarjorie Taylor Greenehas joined the disgruntled group of MAGA stalwartsraising questionsabout the assassination attempt on the president when he was running for office.
“President Trump, of all people, should be leading the charge” to determine all the facts of what happened that day in Butler, Pennsylvania, during a campaign speech two years ago, she noted on X. “Why isn’t he?” Greene demanded. “That’s the question.”
Suspected shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was killed by a Secret Service sniper after a bullet reportedly grazed Trump’s ear as he spoke on stage. Instead of ducking or being pushed to the ground by his security team, Trump defiantly raised a fist to the crowd and shouted, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as Secret Service agents pressed around him to protect him.
Crooks’ rifle fire injured two people at the rally and killed local volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore as he was shielding his family. Trump later insisted he was “saved by God,” who he claimed wanted him to “make America great again.”
Questions were raised at the time, largely by the left, about the incident. Now, an increasing number of one-time Trump supporters are arguing that the attempt was staged by the president to win votes in a hard-fought election. They have offered no evidence, and afederal task forcereport concluded the shooting was as it appeared.
