Rabid leftists lash out over report Trump to resume outdoor rallies behind bulletproof glass

August 18, 2024 | | Print Article

Former President Donald Trump may resume outdoor campaign rallies in the near future after a new line of protection from the Secret Service is being considered.

“The U.S. Secret Service is making arrangements for former President Donald Trump to resume outdoor campaign rallies by surrounding his podium with bulletproof glass,” ABC News reported, citing multiple sources. “The measure is typically used exclusively for sitting presidents, but the Secret Service is making an exception following the first attempted assassination of a presidential candidate since George Wallace in 1972.”

The attempt on Trump’s life came after a catastrophic failure by the agency tasked with protecting the 2024 Republican nominee, resulting in a 20-year-old shooter setting up on a rooftop approximately 130 yards away from where Trump was speaking with a clear line of fire.

Trump let it be known during a July 31 rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, that he would still pursue outdoor rallies due to the number of people turning out to see him.

“They’d prefer that we be in an arena. I don’t know why. But we’re not giving up the outdoor rallies,” he explained. “You know, all those people that we had to turn away today, at an outdoor rally you can have.”

Gun-grabber Shannon Watts, who teamed with billionaire Michael Bloomberg in a campaign to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights, and race-obsessed “sports journalist” Jemele Hill, who was apparently too radical for left-of-center sports network ESPN, were singing from the same hymn sheet when the responded to the story by attacking guns.

In the eyes of these virulent Trump haters, it’s not a deranged shooter and poor security at fault during the failed assassination attempt, but the gun itself.

There was a mixed bag of responses seen online, with some feeling bulletproof glass would serve as a reminder that someone tried to kill Trump, while others fretted over what they saw as “bad optics.”

Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
