An investigation is underway after, for the second time in just a couple of months, somebody tried to kill former president and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
From Leah Barkoukis at Townhall:
The FBI’s Miami field office is taking the lead on investigating Sunday’s assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump—the second time in two months. Fortunately, a Secret Service agent noticed a rifle barrel with a scope sticking out of the fence near the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, and immediately opened fire. The suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, fled the scene in a getaway car but was eventually detained by Florida law enforcement.
Now, however, some are wondering if Americans are ever going to get the truth about the investigation given who oversees the FBI’s Miami field office.
Concerns about the FBI actually getting to the bottom of this matter and being transparent with the public is just part of the reason Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his state will conduct its own separate investigation.
Meanwhile, the media's attempts to downplay yet another assassination attempt on Trump continue.
This was one of NBC News' recent offerings:
Saw this on X, didn’t believe it was real.

"Trump golf club incident" makes it sound like the guy got caught trying to steal a putter from the pro shop.

Rumor is he was out of bounds and did not take a two-stroke penalty. pic.twitter.com/Apm51bFSev
There's been a whole lot of "can't believe this is real" going on with the media these last few years.
They call it a "golf club incident". Nothing to see here, folks.

Man in custody after Trump golf club incident was once convicted of possessing a machine gun https://t.co/UY4xDJI4wk via @nbcnews
Nope, they're not trying to downplay this at all (cue massive eye roll).
Driving your golf cart onto the putting green is a “golf club incident.”

Why can’t they utter the words “assassination attempt”?
Stunning. https://t.co/TtgbpsD36W

Every time we think they can't get lower they prove us wrong.
