CNN Host Gets Triggered When Former Army Sniper Rep. Cory Mills Suggests the Assassination Attempt on Trump Could Have Been a Setup (VIDEO)
2024-07-17
[GatewayPundit]



…desperately tried to combat Mills' statements.

Mills made it *very* clear that he was simply examining all options for what may have happened.

Let me say that again: Mills made it very clear that he was not asserting the incident was a setup but said it should be considered during an investigation.

Cory Mills served in the U.S. Army as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command.

there is no way that that soft kid carried a 10 foot ladder even 100 yards.
A soft kid in 2022 can change a lot by 2024.

#21  JUST IN: CNN host loses it after former US Army sn*per Cory Mills suggests the July 13 assas*ination attempt on Trump

Here's my thing, and just being curious, and it is a matter of semantics:

It was successful....right up until the very literal last second..and still got a hit.

Working backwards should be done by now. One of my questions was, how well was communication being conducted? To use the cliche, what was known and when?

*Goal is to prevent any other attempts.

#19  I believe it is about to be established that authorities knew: who, where, how and when, and still allowed events to move forward. That's called "being in on it".

#18  Russians say he did have a socialist media account, decked out complete with Ukrainian flags.

#17  a 20 year old in 2024 with no social media presence

That was something bothering me. A curious data point in this day and age, unless he was being actively "managed".

No one saw dude walking around with a ladder, gun, range finder, duffle bag, etc

A local cop called in a report about a suspicious person using a range finder just outside of the security screening. But they lost the guy in the crowd until bystanders saw him on the roof - the roof of the most obvious place to shoot from that was somehow officially "outside the security perimeter". I assume they posted "No Shooting From Beyond This Point" signs as part of the site prep.

#16  The Anchor/CNN's job is to tell stories. I don't like how she was doing the shut it down thing with what should be an absolutely curious subject.

#15  No one saw dude walking around with a ladder, gun, range finder, duffle bag, etc - am not buying it.

Crowd sourced: some people in attendance said they saw them tow an abandoned van w/ AZ plates.

Crowd sourced: multiple other people swore they saw another gunman.

This thing is a mess. And now they say they knew about an iranian plot to kill Trump, but still diverted SS to Jill's speaking engagement, then back filled Trump's security detail with the D Team and a Fatty DEI Hire. Yikes.

#14  CTH notices that a 20 year old in 2024 with no social media presence is off; especially one who was in a professional commercial.

#13  CTH has an interesting take. Comments are not bad.

#11  There was a vulnerability in the security plan either by intent or incompetence, but how does the kid walk right in to the vulnerable area when everyone would assume that the roof would be covered? Also, there is no way that that soft kid carried a 10 foot ladder even 100 yards.

#10  Cleared - the location was outside of the secured perimeter.

#9  Forgot to mention. How did he get an AR past the metal detectors?

#8  The Federalist is correct in my opinion. Biden allowed an assassination attempt on Trump. We have no idea how many other times they left him vulnerable and nothing happened.

#7  Federalist agrees

#6  So SS didn't want to put a man on the roof because it was slanted? But....

#4  Our 'Top Men' are conducting the investigation. We should have something conclusive in 65 years.

#3  So the building's roof and the water tower with line of site to the stage were left unprotected? Are we supposed to imagine the sniper crews, whose orders were not to shoot unless shots were fired, were in charge of covering the perimeter?
