CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 16, 2024
DONALD TRUMP HAS AGAIN BEEN THE TARGET OF AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, THIS TIME AT HIS GOLF COURSE IN FLORIDA. OFFICIALS SAY A MAN ON SUNDAY WAS DISCOVERED HIDDEN IN BUSHES ALONG THE COURSE. HE HAD WHAT THEY DESCRIBED AS AN ASSAULT RIFLE WITH HIM AND GOT TO WITHHIN FIRING RANGE OF THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE. U.S. Secret Service AGENTS, WHO WERE CLEARING THE GOLF COURSE FIRED AT THE SUSPECT, BUT HE FLED BEFORE GETTING OFF A SHOT. HE WAS SAID TO HAVE A SCOPE ON HIS RIFLE. HE WAS ARRESTED IN A NEIGHBORING COUNTY.
THE SUSPECT, 58-YEAR-OLD RYAN WESLEY ROUTH, A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT, HAD CALLED TRUMP “A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY.”
GEE, I WONDER WHERE HE GOT THAT NOTION? HE HEARD IT FROM THE LIKES OF LIZ CHENEY, ADAM KINSINGER, NANCY PELOSI AND A HOST OF OTHER POLITICIANS WHO ARE TRYING BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO SQUEEZE KAMALA HARRIS INTO THE WHITE HOUSE WHERE SHE WILL LIKELY BE CONTROLLED BY THE OBAMAS AND THEIR CRONIES.
AS IN THE SITUATION IN BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, HOW DID ROUTH MANAGE GET A MILITARY STYLE RIFLE ONTO THE TRUMP GOLF COURSE? WORDS MATTER AND TRUMP’S CRITICS WOULD DO WELL TO USE WORDS THAT DON’T ENCOURAGE THE SICK AMONG US. I’M CAL THOMAS.
