‘Why the cover-up?’
Whether the assassination attempt on Donald Trump was genuine is what an increasing number of MAGA politicians and supporters now appear to be questioning, nearly two years after it happened.
Trump was speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet “grazed” his ear, which he fully recovered from quickly.
The FBI had concluded that gunman Thomas Crooks acted alone when he shot towards Trump and killed attendee Corey Comperatore.
But some Republicans and Trump supporters, with the latest being Marjorie Taylor Greene, are now accusing his administration of a “cover-up” of the assassination attempt.
Greene, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said that a lot of questions about the assassination need answering.
“I’m not calling the Butler assassination a hoax, but there are a lot of questions that deserve public answers. I’m asking why won’t Trump release the information about Matthew Crooks?”, she wrote.
“Did he actually act alone? If not, who is behind him and who helped him? Why the cover-up?”, she continued.
As per The White House, only a “fool” would believe that the shooting was a hoax, however other MAGA allies are also stepping forward to question the events.
“Corey Comperatore’s wife and daughters deserve to know why Corey, a true American patriot and hero, was murdered in Butler. Trump said repeatedly, ‘I am your retribution.’ Where is the retribution?”, ‘January 6 activist’ Trisha Hope replied to Greene.
His widow, Helen, still has unanswered questions of her own, as she told the New York Post: “All I’ve wanted this entire time was to sit down with the men who screwed up that day and find out why.”
According to state voter records, Crooks was registered as a Republican.
However, as per The Intercept, in 2021 he had made a single $15 donation to the liberal ActBlue political action committee, a Democrat fundraising platform.
