Quotes about the assassination attempt

edit
  • It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.
  • If there's ever been a real indication that we're in a simulation, it's this season of USA. It's the craziest season that's ever existed. So many twists and turns, so many plots, so many villains, so many incompetent bumbling fools.There's so much of it that seems fake. The female Secret Service agent who can't holster her weapon...This isn't real, this is writing, someone wrote this, this is a script.... It looks so fake, We [nearly] fell into chaos, and people think the Biden administration had Trump killed.
