OPINION| In a stunning revelation, Senator Ron Johnson has publicly expressed his skepticism regarding the official narrative surrounding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Speaking to reporters, Johnson revealed that he has seen evidence suggesting the possibility of a second shooter, casting doubt on the integrity of the ongoing investigation by the FBI and Secret Service.
According to Johnson, the evidence he has reviewed points to the presence of an additional gunman at the rally, raising questions about the effectiveness of the security measures in place and the ability of law enforcement agencies to conduct an honest and open investigation. The Senator’s comments have sent shockwaves through the political landscape, fueling speculation and conspiracy theories among Trump supporters and the general public alike.
Johnson’s revelation comes amidst a flurry of conflicting reports and theories surrounding the shooting. While the official account maintains that Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old gunman, acted alone in his attempt to assassinate Trump, Johnson’s claims suggest that there may have been a second shooter involved in the incident.
The Senator’s skepticism has been met with both support and criticism from Trump supporters. Many have rallied behind Johnson, viewing his comments as a courageous stand against what they perceive as a corrupt and untrustworthy government. They argue that the FBI and Secret Service have a vested interest in covering up any evidence of a second shooter, as it would raise serious questions about their ability to protect the President and the integrity of the investigation.
Maria Bartiromo: I got to get to this. After the shooter was taken down by Secret Service, the local law enforcement, and I know this from some of your preliminary comments, your preliminary findings, started taking pictures of the dead body, right? Can you tell us what happened then?
Senator Ron Johnson: Correct. So that’s a sniper team that was in the AGR building, they’re the first ones that went up on the roof. They were the first to encounter the dead assassin at that point in time. Later on, other people joined them, and somebody told them to send the pictures they had taken to an ATF agent, which I think is very strange. We called up that ATF agent. That individual said that he was with the ATF, and now he’s gone dark.
We’ve also reached out to the Secret Service agents in charge on the ground. All we’re getting there is the runaround. We are getting information from local law enforcement, and we appreciate that. But unfortunately, federal law enforcement agent, they’re just saying, Well, go through your congressional liaison. Again, that’s going to be unacceptable. I wish I could rely and have faith in the FBI and the Secret Service to do a truthful accounting of this. But that’s not been my experience with the Russian collusion hoax and for years dealing with federal law enforcement. We need completely separate and independent investigations, and it has to start now
Maria Bartiromo: Are you questioning whether or not there was a second shooting shooter? Is that what you’re questioning, or if the shooter had a different gun?
Senator Johnson: I saw an extremely convincing video online. I know it’s all over the place. There were three distinct shots early on, followed by another five in more staccato, more rapidly fired, and then the final one, which we believe took the shooter out. How do you explain that? I don’t know. I’m not an expert. But the individual putting that video out says it clearly shows that there were at least three different weapons fired that day.
Again, I don’t know, but we can’t trust the FBI and the Secret Service to do an honest and open, transparent investigation. That’s just a very sad fact. We’ve got to rely on other sources independent to really find out what the truth of the matter was on Saturday, July 13th.
On the other hand, critics have accused Johnson of spreading unfounded conspiracy theories and undermining the credibility of the FBI and Secret Service. They argue that the Senator’s claims are based on flimsy evidence and are designed to sow discord and mistrust in the government.
As the investigation into the assassination attempt continues, the presence of a second shooter remains a highly contentious issue. Trump supporters are calling for a thorough and independent investigation into the matter, demanding that all evidence be made public and that those responsible for the shooting be held accountable.
The ongoing controversy surrounding the Trump rally shooting has once again highlighted the deep divisions within the American political landscape. Trump supporters remain steadfast in their belief that the former President was the victim of a coordinated attack, while critics argue that the evidence points to a lone gunman acting on his own.
In the coming weeks and months, it is likely that more information will come to light regarding the shooting and the possibility of a second shooter. Until then, the nation remains divided, with Trump supporters and critics alike grappling with the implications of this shocking event.
As the debate rages on, one thing remains clear: the Trump rally shooting has left an indelible mark on the American psyche, serving as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the nation in the years to come.
