Daily Jot Special Report: Assassination Attempt :: By Bill Wilson
Authorities have identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, PA as the “subject involved” in the failed attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump. Crooks, it is said, is a registered Republican, although he donated money to Democratic Party organizations ActBlue and the Progressive Turnout Project.
ActBlue is an app that raises money for left-leaning Democrat candidates, and socialist, progressive and revolutionary organizations. The Progressive Turnout Project is dedicated to a “progressive takeover” by leftist Democrats.
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have not determined a motive, they say with a straight face. But let’s look at the facts.
What could possibly motivate a young first-time presidential election voter to want to assassinate a candidate?
Could it be the vitriol and hate speech rhetoric shaping a young mind that believes only what he hears from progressive groups like the ones to which he donated?
There was a mention also of Antifa—what many believed to be the Obama-Biden militant arm of the progressive Democrats. This has not been confirmed. Nevertheless, within minutes of the assassination attempt, there was an outpouring of Democrats on social media, including Joe Biden, offering their prayers for Trump and saying that this type of thing should never happen in America.
So magnanimous. But were they genuine?
On Friday, Biden was railing on Trump as a “convicted criminal” at his rally in Detroit. He said,
“No more! Donald, no more free passes. Today, we are going to shine a spotlight on Donald Trump. We are going to do what the press so far hasn’t [sic], but I think they’re gonna soon. We are going to say who he is, what he intends to do. Folks, Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.”
According to New York Times reporter Kenneth P. Vogel, Biden, in a Monday phone call, told Democrat donors,
“It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
Several Democrats recently urged Biden to “take out” Trump after they misinterpreted a Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity. These were widely reported in the news media.
And on July 2, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell,
“This is not a normal election where you want to win, and if you don’t, you cooperate and do the best you can for the country and hope to win the next time. This is something that is undermining our democracy. He must be stopped. He cannot be president!”
Writing for Breitbart News, John Nolte documented several articles in the news media comparing Trump to Hitler, authoritarianism, Nazism, and fantasizing about a Trump assassination. Nolte called it a hate campaign. In conclusion, the hate rhetoric toward Trump paved the way for what happened Saturday. And the very critics of Trump who are piously offering their prayers are the ones who fomented the hate.
Titus 1:16 says, “They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him…”
I wonder what they really prayed.
