17 seriously on-point tweets that went viral after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump
Donald Trump is preparing for the Republican national convention less than 48 hours after a gunman fired shots at the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania.
The shooting, the full details of which are still to emerge, prompted no end of conspiracy theories to trend on Twitter, none of which we have room for here.
These 17 tweets also went viral and are rather more on point than all that.

If the fucking SECRET SERVICE can’t protect a candidate for president from a maniac with a rifle, how in the hell can we expect a TEACHER to protect a classroom of kids?

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Donald Trump was the victim of a shooting in a country he has been inciting to violence for years. — Trump is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

So let me get this straight…
“I was going to vote Biden but because Trump was shot at by a Republican I’ll vote Trump.”
Is this really the new narrative?
How fucking dumb are you, America?
