“Sure, Trump aimed & pulled the trigger—but, ask yourself: why the hell was the person standing there?!”

— Every Congressional Republican

“Sure, he may have loaded the gun, aimed, pulled the trigger, and disposed of the gun in a top-secret file cabinet meant for military secrets—but, let’s be honest: Trump’s too dumb to actually intend to shoot someone.”

—Ben Shapiro

“I don’t want to hear anything about guns or shooting people. I’ve got no opinion on the matter. I do have an opinion on a bogus grand jury proceeding where Trump can’t cross-examine the witnesses. I don’t care if that’s how grand juries work!”

— Mark Meadows

“HELL YEAH, he Shot Him!!?! That guy was a Comey spy WHo worked with the DNC and had a love affair with a deep State rat. Had it comin’.”

— Sean Hannity

“Well, you see, this is all rather self-explanatory. The Dems are overplaying their hand by prosecuting Trump for murder. Rs won’t break ranks. Trump is their only hope of defeating socialism next year. By the way, have you picked up my new book on Nationalism?”

— Rich Lowry

“Come on, Chris. You’re getting played again. He didn’t really mean that when he shot that guy.”

— Marco Rubio

“My thoughts on murder? Ask my staff.”

— Ben Sasse & Ted Cruz

“Okay, okay, okay — but none of the guy’s friends *knew* he was murdered until like 3 weeks later.”

— Jim Jordan

“He didn’t shoot anybody. In fact, that guy is still alive. I don’t care what the death report says. It’s all a bunch of lies trying to take down our President on a technicality!!”

— Mark Levin

“Yes, but the Dow is up 13% since that guy was shot. Our President continues to deliver.”

— Maria Bartiromo

“Man, I’m just with Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, & Charlie Kirk on this thing. Whatever they said, man. Did they retweet me yet?”

— Dan Crenshaw

“THE DUDE SHOT A GUY IN THE STREET & TRIED TO COVER IT UP! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?! HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED! NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW REGARDLESS OF THEIR PARTY! WAKE UP!”
