In a twist that could only be scripted in the latest episode of America’s most perplexing thriller, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate dropped bombshell statements that make one wonder whether the FBI is more concerned with keeping America safe or with spinning political narratives. During a recent Senate hearing, Abbate revealed that a social media account purportedly belonging to the young man who attempted to take down Donald Trump displayed, wait for it, anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic sentiments. It’s almost as if the agency is looking to identify the shooter through his political views rather than through his actions—who knew a Facebook post could carry so much weight?
The alleged would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, somehow managed to turn a Pennsylvania rally into his own personal shooting range, injuring three and taking one life. Strangely enough, in a period spanning 2019-2020, this guy posted over 700 comments that the FBI is now trying to connect to his heinous acts. One can only hope that the FBI’s office of digital sleuths are as thorough when digging up dirt on a conservative as they are when drawing connections between unfortunate events and politically charged themes.

As Abbate laid out the sequence of events, he had the audacity to highlight that law enforcement noticed the “suspicious” individual but still allowed Trump to go on stage, as though it’s common practice to give a nod to danger for the sake of political correctness. This level of ineptitude raises eyebrows and also the question of how these officials manage to hold their jobs. But hey, the important thing is that they’re now giving their opinion on what could have influenced a young man to open fire—clearly a responsible use of time.
Adding to the drama was Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, who was visibly exasperated, pleading with Congress that the security measures at the event could have been stronger. Pictures were presented showing strategic points where the sniper could have easily caused mayhem. Rowe’s frustration underscores concerns that if the government can’t even secure a rally with the former President, what chance does the average citizen stand when it comes to protection?
This incident serves as yet another reminder of how the left and certain government agencies prioritize narratives over real-world consequences. It’s as if they believe that unpacking a suspect’s Facebook likes will magically prevent gun violence instead of focusing on securing the event. The American public deserves better than a political circus; they deserve competent protection that acknowledges the real threats rather than manufacturing political boogeymen from social media posts. One can only hope this latest fiasco pushes the right conversations about safety and responsibility.
