Fox News host Maria Bartiromo and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) floated possible conspiracy theories over the weekend after former President Donald Trump was shot in the ear. During a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Johnson suggested that Trump's life was saved because he turned to look at a chart that was first given to the former president by the Wisconsin senator.
"Wow, that chart that you gave President Trump ended up being incredibly important," Bartiromo said. "So, you know, call it serendipity, divine intervention, it'll be obviously an interesting footnote in history," Johnson opined. "I'm glad I was able to play that small part in saving his life.
" Johnson pointed out that local law enforcement was aware of alleged gunman Thomas Crooks nearly an hour before Trump was shot. "If you took video , save it, make a backup copy," the lawmaker told Fox News viewers. "We can glean things in terms of audio, in terms of where the shots came from.
" "Was it one rifle? Was it more than one? I've seen some pretty interesting video on the Internet by experts that certainly calls into question what the FBI is telling us about a single shooter." Johnson said he had a bipartisan agreement to start an investigation of the shooting. ALSO READ: Milwaukee girded for massive convention protests.
But they got something else . "So, are you questioning whether or not there was a second shooter?" Bartiromo asked. "Is that what you're questioning, or if the shooter had a different gun?" "I saw an extremely convincing video online, I know it's all over the place," Johnson replied.
"There were three distinct shots early on, followed by another five in more staccato, more rapidly fired, and then the final one, which we believe took the shooter out." "How do you explain that?" the Fox News host wondered. "I don't know.
I'm not an expert," Johnson admitted. "But the individual putting that video out says it clearly shows that there were at least three different weapons fired that day." Watch the video below from Fox News or at the link .
Reacting to a report from Politico that pointed out big holes in Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance's resume when it comes to dealing with how the government functions, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele expressed surprise the GOP approved of Donald Trump's running mate.
According to the Politico report, "By historic standards, Vance has shockingly little [experience] . No experience balancing a state budget, overseeing disaster response, or wrestling with the legal and moral dimensions of the death penalty. He hasn’t commanded a state National Guard or managed a federal agency or Cabinet office.
He’s less than a third into his first six-year Senate term." That led MSNBC "The Weekend" co-host Michael Steele to wonder why no one is talking about Vance's deficiencies. RELATED: J.
D. Vance busted for attempt to hide 'dirty secret' from voters After it was pointed out President Joe Biden's campaign plans to paint Vance as "extreme," Steele added, "I think in addition to extreme, I think there's a big question about experience, I mean, this guy is the least experienced individual to hold the office of nominee for the vice presidency and yet no one seems to be talking about that." 'He will be a vice president to a guy who will be 80 years old or 79 years old in a year and over the course of the next four years is he prepared to step in to run the united— you know, the United States?" he asked.
He later noted Vance's selection did lead to some "friction" among party insiders and added, "There was not a uniform or united view that he should be the choice, but Donald Trump wanted someone that he could control and he got it." Watch below or at the link . MSNBC 07 21 2024 08 41 48 youtu.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump if he had requested more security for his father. "Maria, I'm going to try to bite my tongue as much as humanly possible on this one, but it's obviously a sore subject," Trump said.
"You know, first of all, I love the men and women of the Secret Service." "They were with me for almost five years, and I would take a bullet for them just as fast as they would take a bullet for me," he continued. Some of them are dear friends, personal friends, and they are incredible people.
" Trump said the agents on the ground with his father "did their job, and they did it incredibly well." "The director of the Secret Service should resign in absolute disgrace," he insisted. "The fact that the Biden administration could allow a former president and very likely a future president to take a bullet through the ear, and there's no accountability, and the person's still in their job, just shows how disgraceful and inept the administration is.

" "And I'm not a tinfoil hat-wearing guy," he added. "In fact, I'm probably a little bit more centrist than a lot of people would otherwise understand." "But I've seen the way that they've attacked him.
