Veteran sniper says it makes no sense: ‘no doubts in my mind the shooter had help from somewhere within an agency…’

Adding expertise to what many were thinking, a member of the sniper unit with the furthest confirmed kill sounded off with suspicion about the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

“It just doesn’t make any sense.”

Since the tragedy in Butler, Pennsylvania that took the life of father, husband, and firefighter Corey Comperatore, the question of how the killer and would-be executive assassin was even able to get into position, let alone take a shot, remained a topic of great speculation.

While unable to offer any confirmation as to what took place to cause such a glaring gap in security, Dallas Alexander, who formerly served nearly 14 years with the Canadian military’s JTF 2 sniper unit, posted a video to social media in response to many asking for his opinion.

In so doing, the sniper, whose team held the world record 2.2-mile kill shot that neutralized an Islamic State terrorist in May 2017, made a shocking claim, “I’m very familiar with the layout of these types of things and what the job should be, and yesterday what happened, I have no doubts in my mind that the shooter had help from somewhere within an agency, an organization or the government.”

“The second I saw that aerial photo of what they were saying happened — immediately it made no sense to me,” Alexander detailed.

Supporting his case, prior to an appearance on the “Drinkin’ Bros” podcast where he offered his services in defense of Trump leading up to the election for free, the sniper argued, “You cannot, in broad daylight, get onto a rooftop within — it looked like maybe a couple hundred yards if that — you can’t get into that position with a gun when there’s a president speaking. It cannot be done.”

“Like, you don’t even need to be a sniper to know it’s the most f*cking obvious thing, most obvious place in the whole world,” he continued. “You could be a seventh-grader, like, what do we have to do for security? ‘Well, let’s look at these rooftops that are almost within zeroing range of a rifle.'”

“So something happened, and I’m not pointing fingers at anyone. It’s just too obvious that this guy had help getting there,” added the marksman.

His take came as eyewitnesses from the event attested that their efforts to draw attention to the suspect on the roof had gone ignored leading up to shots being fired at Trump, leaving the president and two rally-goers wounded along with killing Comperatore.

“Whether it’s someone turned a blind eye or it was strategically planned, I mean it had to be planned to a certain level because events like that, security like that, it’s not a small thing,” said Alexander, striking a similar tone to former U.S. Secret Service agent Dan Bongino who challenged the priorities of the agency leading up to the tragedy and continued calling for the resignation of USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle.

“You’re telling me the best technology you have was deployed and you missed a shooter 130 yards — say it was 200 yards — the Secret Service CS Team, Pete, the Counter Sniper Teams — and I’m not sure those two guys are Secret Service…we’re trained out to 1,000 yards in the Secret Service with the Counter Sniper Team. How did they miss someone at most one-fifth of the way there?” wondered Bongino on “Fox & Friends Sunday.” “It doesn’t make any sense.”

Alexander said much the same as he closed out his video, “Like, if you have the skill set to get in there, avoiding…all different layers of security, then you will have the skill set to hit that first round.”

“It just doesn’t make any sense,” he echoed as others chimed in with their own speculation.
