The left continues to supply an endless stream of conspiracy theories, and the latest installment involving an alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump is no exception. While it would be amusing if it weren’t so damaging, the absurdities of “Russia collusion” still loom large over the nation. Now, those on the left are doubling down, suggesting that the recent events surrounding Trump were not what they seemed, despite clear evidence to the contrary.
Recent events unfolded after an assassination attempt on Trump during which a man named Corey Comperatore lost his life, and two others sustained injuries. The shooter was neutralized. Yet what has emerged from the left is a bizarre flurry of conspiracy theories claiming the entire incident was staged. This brand of irrational thinking disregards the facts — eyewitnesses were present, the chaos was palpable, but for some, those realities warrant little attention.
"Adam Kinzinger Jumps Into Latest Leftist Conspiracy Theory About Trump Assassination Attempt"
A lot of people wrongly state that after Souza *deleted* his account, after getting backlash from his post about the assassination attempt on Trump, that he was suspended by Musk,…— Gray Wolf (@graywolf442) July 29, 2024
Doubters also latched onto the details of the injury sustained by Trump. Some individuals are now claiming that the President was not actually grazed by a bullet, even in the face of clear evidence. Photographs showing blood on Trump’s ear, medical treatment indicating he was indeed shot, and a confirmation from his caring physician have all been conveniently overlooked. An investigation by the FBI also routed the conspiracy narrative by affirming a bullet indeed struck him.
This level of denial is astounding. Whether it was a bullet or shrapnel is hardly the point; the critical factor is that it was an assassination attempt on the President. Yet, it appears that those who want to downplay such serious matters will stoop to any level of absurdity. The “ear truthers” have emerged out of this quagmire, desperately attempting to spin the factual events into something more palatable for their narrative.
One notable contributor to this circus is Pete Souza, the former White House photographer under Barack Obama. Known for his questionable tweets, Souza jumped headfirst into the fray by posting a picture of Trump’s ear, fueling more speculation. In a rather comical twist, he quickly deactivated his account after facing backlash, leading to further unfounded conspiracy theories that Elon Musk silenced him. The decline in logic among these truthers reached new heights as they insisted Souza’s deactivation indicated a cover-up, failing to recognize the difference between a suspended account and one that no longer exists.
Among this cacophony of conspiracies, former Congress member Adam Kinzinger made his presence known, amplifying the confusion. His efforts to assert that Trump’s ear injury couldn’t possibly result from an AR-15 bullet were marked by a glaring lack of understanding. The outlandish assertions that an AR-15 shot would have left Trump severely mangled are as laughable as they are misguided. It’s a prime example of how the left often loses touch with reality while grasping at straws in the wake of legitimate events, showcasing their penchant for exaggeration over facts. The spectacle is a reminder of just how detached the left has become from the cold, hard truth.
