In a further blow to media coverage that formed after the July 13 incident, photographic evidence revealed a person resembling the Trump shooter openly carrying a long gun at Trump’s Butler rally.
The photo was posted to X by Rep. Ana Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who claims to have received it from someone in law enforcement.
“The question is, ‘Was this guy in your face enough to literally carry a rifle around and climb onto a roof?'” Sara Gonzalez asks the author of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”
“We saw him, we took a photo, he was going through the metal detector, but he had a rangefinder, so you all thought, ‘He’s probably just trying to play golf,'” she said. “‘It’s not technically a prohibited device, so we don’t restrain him, we just let him go, in fact, we just lose him completely.'”
“He’s walking around with a rifle slung over his shoulder as if to say, ‘There’s nothing to see here,'” she added incredulously.
Blaze contributor Jaco Booyens discovered another issue.
“What was really interesting to me was the officer body camera footage,” Booyens said. “It tells the story of how someone could have just radioed the former commander in chief and said, ‘Hey, don’t get on stage.'”
“I still don’t understand that. Why was he allowed on stage?” Gonzalez agreed.
“You don’t even need to see the photos to be convinced something illegal was going on,” added Chad Prather, host of “The Chad Prather Show.”
“It’s like we have the Secret Service in Butler, Pennsylvania,” he continues. “The president is over there, the crowd is here, there are people behind the cameras, the press is here, there’s an assassin on the roof, and everything seems fine.”
