39 thoughts on “UPDATE: Trump injured in rally shooting; gunman and spectator dead

    1. Biden voters have nothing else to turn to except violence. Their candidate is a mental cripple, they have overseen the largest invasion of foreign nationals in history, and they have had the worst inflationary economy since the 1980s.

    2. JJ, the violence being stoked by the Democrat party (including Biden and Schumer) is horrific.

    3. DH obviously is obviously addicted to the Fox News Channel and/or Newmax, both sanitizers of Trump facts. Thus, he is unaware of the ex-president”s calls for and support of violence against his political foes.

    4. DH – it was announced that the shooter was a registered Republican. The call is coming from inside the house dude

    5. Shane, he donated to the Democrats and obviously he was targeting the leader of the Republican party. Nice try on a deflection!

    6. More amazing even this publication mis represents the story. An “apparent” assignation attempt? Even after non reporting on Joe’s mental state, they still get it wrong.

    7. DH – he donated to a political organization at 15 years old – well before he registered at a Republican. I’m not pretending to know the motivation of this catastrophe and you shouldn’t either.

    8. Shane, it’s an election tactic to vote in cross-party primaries to shape the general election, it was clearly a strategy of Democrats in 2022 (and 2024).

  1. DH is correct! The rhetoric against Trump from the Biden campaign, the DNC, and much of the Leftist media has been hyperbolic to an unprecedented extent in modern times. They claim he is an “existential threat to Democracy” and some say he’s another Hitler! If one truly believes these gaslighting lies from the Democrats, then this is what can be expected to happen!

    1. Donald Trump’s rhetoric is hateful, and he’s an obvious threat to democracy. He brags about it. Doesn’t mean he deserves to be shot. Glad he’s okay. Your claims about gaslighting are ridiculous.

    2. Wesley, the Democrats are the greatest threat to democracy by literally inciting violence against their political opponents. By suppressing news that hurt their candidate (Hunter laptop). By fabricating fake Russian hoaxes. By lawfare persecutions. By silencing their opponents through gag orders. By hiding the truth that their candidate is a mental cripple for years.

    3. Lol DH bought into every grift the Republicans have been selling for the past 10 years. Do you believe in Pizzagate, too?

  2. Why hasn’t the IBJ updated the title of this article to ‘attempted assassination’ yet? This oversight is yet another glaring example of the one-sided, distasteful, and biased reporting that this media company produces on a daily basis. It is frustrating to see how often critical details and accurate terminologies are overlooked or intentionally omitted in favor of narratives that align with their ideological leanings. It’s high time for the IBJ to hold itself to higher standards of journalistic integrity and provide the unbiased information that its readers expect and deserve. Call a spade a spade.

    1. IBJ is not an information source. They are a PR agency for the Democrat party pushing their agenda and hoping for some clicks they can sell to advertisers.

    2. G.G., this an Associated Press article (not produced by IBJ) that was updated at least eight times Saturday night as news unfolded. Those updates included multiple headline versions. Almost all of those updates referred to an assassination attempt in either the main headline or the subhead.

  3. Wesley H: How is Trump’s rhetoric hateful? Only in a world in which the woke consider any criticism or claim they disagree with to be “hate speech.” And how is Trump a threat to democracy? Because he questioned the outcome of an election in which his opponent’s organization abused drop boxes and mail-in voting, in widespread use only due the pandemic, to illegally ballot-harvest every major city in every swing state? Trump conceded to Biden immediately after the debacle at the Capitol in Jan 6. Clearly, that was a protest gone awry and not a serious attempt to subvert democracy. Meanwhile, HRC continues to ignore the Muller investigation and publicly claim Russia helped Trump steal the 2016 election! Yet now Biden refers to Trump almost daily as an “existential threat to democracy,” while his allies in the Progressive-Left media label Trump a racist, fascist, and regularly compare him to Hitler. Clearly this language sends a message to the impressionable that Trump must be stopped, by any means.

    1. I watch neither, but I assuming you think the truth would be found on MSNBC or CNN. That’s why I stopped watching all cable tv channels. Let’s be honest, they all have their own view to drum into you over and over including the left ones. They are definitely a major reason for the divisiveness that exits today.

  4. Why did the article fail to report this crucial detail:

    ““It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye,” Biden said in a July 8 call with donors to this campaign. The quote was sent around by the Biden campaign to journalists after the call, a sign that the Biden team viewed the comment as part of their message rather than a gaffe.”

    Of course it was the message, it’s the same message the Democrats have used since 2016.

    1. Greg, Joe Biden openly called for Trump to be in the “bullseye”, this after openly calling him a tyrant and a fascist for 8 years.

      THAT is what is wrong in this country.

    2. What happened was wrong but the fact that you think the word “bullseye” draws ire from you (obviously meaning political bullseye for the campaign but sure, you’ll twist that easily), but things like “some folks just need killing” (Republican), “Don’t be weak and gay,” (Republican), conservatives killing people in Charlottesville, conservatives killing people at the Capitol, and openly bragging about sexual assault keeps you silent. The way you all cry and while with your victim complex is just sad.

    3. A.R., the only person killed on January 6th was an unarmed Trump supporter.

      Did you know that? Or did you listen to the inflammatory lies from Biden and didn’t do your own research?

  5. dims are pathetic. There’s just no other word. This generation of dims has trashed what their parents and grandparents afforded them.

    Just pathetic.

  6. In all seriousness, most of the commenters here — on either “side” — are the problem. You all cling to your parties as if they mean something when, in fact, the goals of each have changed dramatically. The GOP stands almost in opposition to what the GOP was in 1980 and, certainly, what it was before that. The Democratic Party has also strayed from its goals of the 70s and 80s.

    One side dismisses the attack and vandalizing of the Capitol Building as nothing to be concerned about and, somehow, disconnected from democracy while talking about voter fraud without any proof that judges from their own party have dismissed.

    The other side invokes the same rhetoric in the other direction. While spot on in its depiction of the other side’s leader’s observable character, it paints all of his followers as stupid and near-followers of Hitler. Not exactly the way to persuade people to your side.

    For the 40% in the non-partisan center, center-left, and center-right, we are amazed that shame is not felt. If you can’t have some empathy or attempt some sort of understanding with people in another group, then you not only get what you deserve, but you bring down the rest of us as well.

    1. The reality is that there is only one party that has been openly calling for violence against LGBTQ+ communities, non-white communities, and openly bragging about sexually assaulting women. The rhetoric is not the same.

      The assassination attempt is wrong, it’s disgusting, and political violence is never appropriate, but let’s not sit here and pretend that the rhetoric is equally distasteful on both sides. It isn’t.

  7. A ‘ shooting’ ? This publication is slowly going down the the mass media toilet. Sad. The bold headline is ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. Small print, Biden and the Democrats have been stirring the division and hatred for years.

    1. Interesting. But broadly applying the phase, “Groomers,” to a whole subset of the population, demonizing non-white people, Republican governor candidates openly stating, “some folks need killing,” and calling for the execution of cabinet members is totally cool, right? That’s not violent rhetoric, that’s just conservatives “expressing their opinions” that they will then cry about getting “cancelled” for. What a crock. This act of violence was wrong, but you all aren’t victims.
