Donald Trump has been rushed off the stage after gunshots were heard as he addressed a crowd at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

    Republicans have blamed Joe Biden for the attempted assassination tonight, accusing the president of whipping up opposition to Donald Trump.

    JD Vance, who is one of the frontrunners to be Trump’s running mate, said: “Today is not just some isolated incident. The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs.”

    “That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination,” he added.

    Mike Collins, a Republican congressman from Georgia, said: “The Republican District Attorney in Butler County, PA, should immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination.”

    He also tweeted that Mr Biden “sent the orders”.

      All I’m hearing is that they think Biden told the truth and used the power the Heritage Foundation SCOTUS explicitly gave him, and now they’re inexplicably butthurt about it.

      Prosecuting the president for stochastic terrorism? That’s a precedent they really don’t want to set with Trump as their candidate.

      That they are pushing it is evidence they don’t think they’ll have to follow the rule of law if they win.

        They won’t. The Supreme Court already determined that.
