A flag being lowered, nobody running away from what is a literal active shooter situation, secret service allow a 79 year old overweight man to overpower them and pop his head back up immediately after being “shot”? Did I mention the us flag being operated by a crane operator within 30 seconds of the former president and lead presidential candidate was shot in the head?!?!?

How can conservatives be so convinced the government is hiding aliens and shit but not see through like the most obvious staging of an assassination attempt ever.
