A gunman tried to kill Donald Trump.
After hours of silence, Joe Biden finally spoke to the nation.
And Joe Biden refused to say two words about the attempt on Donald Trump’s life.
Joe Biden refuses to say there was an assassination attempt against Donald Trump
An assassin opened fire on Donald Trump while Trump spoke at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The shooter missed killing Trump by an inch only because Trump happened to turn his head at just the right time.
Instead of striking him in the temple and killing him instantly, the bullet tore through Trump’s ear.

Americans were horrified by this act of political violence targeted against Donald Trump.
Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush immediately released statements condemning the attempt on Trump’s life and praying for him and his family’s safety.
Joe Biden went radio silent for hours on end.
Biden finally spoke long after the shooting.
But Biden only made headlines for what happened after his brief speech to the nation.
A reporter asked Biden if he would call what happened to Trump an assassination attempt.
Biden wouldn’t say those two words.
“I don’t know enough to — I have an opinion, but I don’t have any facts,” Biden replied.
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy mocked Biden for his refusal to state the obvious.
A gunman opening fire on a President certainly qualifies as an assassination attempt.
“Joe not quite ready to go out on a limb and call it an assassination attempt. Needs a quick nap and more facts,” Portnoy posted on social media.
Joe Biden was just following the media’s cues
It wasn’t just Joe Biden trying to gaslight the nation.
The media didn’t want the American people to know the truth out of fear that the public would rally around Trump.
The New York Times even cropped the iconic photo showing Trump pumping his fist with blood streaming down his face with the American flag overhead.

For all the talk in the media about threats to democracy, an attempt to kill a Presidential candidate and steal the right of the American people to choose their leaders is an actual threat to democracy.
The media spent eight years smearing Donald Trump as Hitler and many Americans believe that hateful rhetoric helped lead to this point.
Now the press tried to cover up an assassination attempt by trying to fool the American people into thinking Trump was the victim of his own clumsiness.
