CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 16, 2025
A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP IN BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, TWO SENATORS HAVE ISSUED A REPORT THAT SAYS THE INCIDENT NEARLY RESULTED IN THE MURDER OF THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CALL THE “INEXCUSABLE NEGLIGENCE” BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE EVENT.
SENATORS CHUCK GRASSLEY OF IOWA AND RAND PAUL OF KENTUCKY, BOTH REPUBLICANS, SAID THE SECRET SERVICE WAS WOEFULLY UNPREPARED TO PREVENT THE SHOOTER, THOMAS CROOKS, FROM CARRYING OUT HIS ACT. THIS DESPITE PEOPLE IN THE CROWD SHOUTING FOR SOMEONE TO NOTICE CROOKS ON THE ROOF.
THE SECRET SERVIVE DENIED MULTIPLE REQUESTS BY TRUMP’S SECURITY TEAM FOR ADDITIONAL SECURITY RESOURCES. THEY ARE NOT ALONE. MANY DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN CRITICAL OF THE WAY THE AGENCY PERFORMED.
SOME AGENTS WHO WERE THERE THAT DAY WERE PLACED ON LEAVE BUT ARE BACK NOW. THE DIRECTOR WAS FIRED. THE PRESIDENT IS THE TARGET OF DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL KILLERS. IRAN HAS ANNOUNCED A $40 MILLION BOUNTY ON TRUMP. THERE ARE ENOUGH CRAZIES WHO MIGHT TAKE THE MONEY IF THEY THINK THEY COULD GET AWAY WITH IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
