The left’s subtle winks of encouragement to chaos have found a dangerous manifestation. Over the weekend, a troubled individual tried to silence former President Donald Trump with violence during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. But thanks to the swift action of the Secret Service, that plan was promptly squashed, reminding everyone that order still has some muscle in this country.
In the shadows, armed with a rifle, the gunman attempted to turn free speech into a bloodbath. From the rooftop of a nearby building, he fired shots at Mr. Trump, aiming to snuff out the fiery voice of the conservative movement. Picture this: a gathering of law-abiding citizens turned into a scene from an action flick, with Secret Service agents demonstrating why they have those snazzy suits and shades. The agents responded with precision, and soon enough, the would-be assassin was a mere post-script on a horror story.
Sources with the typical alphabet soup media outlets claim the shooter was a Pennsylvania man around 20 years old, apparently making attempts to establish notoriety. His lack of ID throws a wrench into tying up his story with a neat little bow. But if the silence of leading liberal figures is anything to go by, they might not be too eager to explore his background.
It wasn’t just the Secret Service who stared down danger. An alert Trump supporter, part of the ever-vigilant Trump rally cohort, noticed the impending threat and took action. This eagle-eyed attendee watched the man “bear crawling” across the rooftop with a rifle — a scene more fitting for a spy movie than a political rally. They reported the alarming development to on-site law enforcement, raising the question: why wasn’t Trump immediately pulled off the stage?
In true Trump fashion, the former President continued his speech undeterred, even as five shots thundered through the air. It’s a testimonial to the spirit of conservatism — undaunted and unbowed, even with danger lurking. Ultimately, Mr. Trump received a hit to the right ear but survived, reinforcing his reputation as a Teflon figure of American politics.

Sadly, the altercation resulted in one rally-goer killed and two others critically injured. While the nation focuses on the miraculous survival of Mr. Trump, one must remember the cost borne by everyday Americans standing firm for their beliefs. The determined actions of a few saved many, proving once again that the conservative backbone of this country is made of strong stuff.
So, next time the left wants to suggest that words are violence, maybe they should reconsider who’s actually pulling the trigger.
