When Donald Trump Jr. told Tucker Carlson that the assassination attempt on his father was not a coincidence and that anyone who said otherwise was a “freaking idiot,” he vocalized and normalized what many Americans have been silently asking: Was the shooting an inside job?
More and more people in the field of national security, some of whom have chosen to remain anonymous, have come forward and said something to the effect of, “Yes, evidence is suggesting that Crooks was groomed and assisted.” This, of course, begs the question: Who is complicit in the crime?
Investigative journalist and Blaze Media correspondent Steve Baker joins “Blaze News Tonight” to piece together the accumulated evidence that is beginning to paint a clearer picture of what exactly happened on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Blaze Media was “very fortunate to have sources on the ground on the evening of July 13 as well as the next morning before the Secret Service gag order went into effect,” says Baker. He adds that the “single-most significant thing” that Blaze sources discovered was that “the radio coms were … ‘siloed.’”
Baker explains that Secret Service and local law enforcement at the rally “were not in communication with each other because they were not prepped” prior to the rally. “When things started going wrong and then suspicions began being raised about this particular guy, Thomas Crooks, on the ground … they couldn’t get communications back to verify that he was not a blue-on-blue situation,” ultimately allowing for “the first shot to be fired.”
However, the question remains: Was this lack of communication and preparation purposeful? Clearly, Donald Trump Jr. thinks so. To hear more of the conversation, watch the episode above.
