OPINION| In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, a video has emerged from the Pennsylvania State Fair, showing a woman openly calling for the assassination of former President Donald J. Trump. The footage, which has since gone viral on social media platforms, captures the woman making her heinous remarks in front of a crowd of onlookers.
The video, recorded by an attendee at the fair, shows the woman standing on a makeshift stage, surrounded by a small group of supporters. In the clip, she can be heard shouting, “Someone needs to take out Trump! We need to get rid of him once and for all!” The crowd around her erupts in cheers and applause, with some even chanting, “Take him out!”
The woman’s inflammatory remarks have sparked outrage among Trump supporters and conservatives across the nation. Many are calling for a thorough investigation into the incident and for the woman to be held accountable for her dangerous rhetoric.
It is deeply concerning that such blatant calls for violence against a former president are being made in public spaces, especially at a family-friendly event like the Pennsylvania State Fair. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the deep-seated hatred and animosity that some individuals harbor towards Trump and his supporters.
The video has also reignited the debate surrounding the protection of political figures and the need for increased security measures. In light of the recent assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania, it is clear that the threat to his safety is very real. The fact that individuals are openly calling for his assassination is a chilling reminder of the dangerous times we live in.
The Gateway Pundit reported:
We kindly asked this woman if she was registered to vote, and she turned hostile. She was inciting violence on President Trump multiple times and even threatened one of our staffers by telling him he deserved to be shot as well. The lady said she was Christian as well. No Christian should act like this,” explained Formica, who has registered thousands of new voters to date in the state of Pennsylvania.
James Copenhaver, a retired undercover police detective and liaison to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, said the video was “shocking” and “raises grave concerns” about continued political violence in this country leading up to the November 5th election. He also told TGP that law enforcement must swiftly investigate “sympathizers” who cheered the assassination attempt on President Trump and continue to call for his execution.
“The fact that there are individuals openly advocating for the murder of a political figure is a serious threat to our democratic process and national security. This situation compels us to question the effectiveness and readiness of the United States Secret Service, the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies.
The woman’s remarks also raise questions about the state of political discourse in our country. It is one thing to disagree with someone’s policies or beliefs, but it is quite another to call for their assassination. Such violent rhetoric has no place in a civilized society and only serves to further divide and polarize our nation.
It is imperative that these agencies are thoroughly investigating not only the perpetrators of this attempted assassination, but also any sympathizers who may be encouraging or planning similar acts of violence.
The safety of our leaders and the integrity of our democratic institutions depend on a swift and decisive response to these threats,” explained Copenhaver who has spent the past decade as a national security commentator on high profile domestic terrorist incidents like the shooting of 49 people at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, the massacre at the country music festival in Las Vegas, and has given over three dozen interviews assessing the assassination on President Trump over the past week.
“At the end of the day, I am praying for this woman’s salvation and sanity,” concluded Formica.’
The video has sparked a firestorm of criticism on social media, with many calling for the woman to be identified and held accountable for her actions. Some have even suggested that she should be prosecuted for inciting violence.
