CORRECTION, July 14, 2024:The shooting happened during a rally on Saturday. An earlier version of this article had a different day.
This country’s anti-conservative media never knows when enough is enough.
You would think that when their enemies are shot and wounded, it might be the time to set aside petty partisan antics.
But apparently even when former President Trump was seemingly shot on Saturday, CNN just couldn’t help but insult the man’s dignity by making it appear to be an accident.

It all happened during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was speaking.
The incident was all captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media.
Trump is seen in the video giving his speech when, suddenly, loud popping sounds are heard.
The former president then grabbed the side of his face, which was bleeding profusely shortly thereafter, as Secret Service agents rushed to cover him.

As the agents began to lead Trump off stage, he could be heard telling them to wait.
Then, just before he exited, Trump raised up a fist to the audience to let them know he was all right.
But, according to CNN’s headline of the incident, what we all saw happen in that now-infamous video wasn’t the story.

No, instead, according to CNN, Trump simply fell off the stage. Here was the outlet’s headline — “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.”
It’s no surprise that CNN would attempt to dismiss what will likely be remembered as one of the biggest moments in modern American political history.
Trump supporters will no doubt come out of this incident more fired up than ever to vote for him while at the same time, Democrats are more dispirited than ever that they have to back the walking corpse that is President Joe Biden.
The stage is set for a Trump victory come November.
The alleged shooter may have wanted to end Trump’s campaign for good on Saturday.

Instead, he may have very well sealed the deal for a Trump victory.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
