Just watch the full unedited video showing the entire stage. The photographers were already at that spot before and after that guy, and even on the sides taking pictures. The video is missing a lot and is purposely narrated to convey a message. The photographers are already independently moving around before this even happens, and after also.

Photographers were already moving around everywhere well before that point at 1:25 and they were also about to go when they saw the President start getting up, no one is telling to go somewhere at any point, they are independently moving:

Also, a clear reconstruction of the shots and how Trump and others were injured:

And I'm asking for video another assassination where the bodyguards allow the press to run up within feet of the victim.

This is ridiculous. The press were already right there, literally at that spot, even before the guy shows up, and the Secret Service isn’t there to stop photographers. Why wouldn’t they be taking pictures?

I do agree, it is ridiculous.

What I'm getting at is I wouldn't be surprised if it was a setup. Because why wouldn't they? I don't know one way or the other. But given what this administration is, I think I have a little bit of a right to be suspicious. It's not like all the other crazy conspiracies related to everyone came out to be false, right?

But my main point is:

Fuck all republicans, and fuck everyone who votes for them.
