Was a third assassination attempt against President Donald Trump thwarted Saturday? If so, where is corporate media? Only one major news outlet, The Epoch Times, appears to be covering an incident that took place during the Coachella rally.
To be fair, this may be a matter of activist law enforcement covering it up as the news apparently was dropped via text message with the county sheriff. But one would think this would still make national news at some point and it’s been nearly a full day since the incident.
According to The Epoch Times:
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department arrested an armed man who allegedly said he wanted to “kill the president” outside the perimeter of a Trump rally on Oct. 12, Sheriff Chad Bianco told The Epoch Times in a text message on Sunday.
“We arrested a man trying to get in the perimeter with two firearms who ended up saying he was going to kill the president,” Bianco said in the text.
The arrest occurred in the wake of two previous alleged assassination attempts on Trump, the first on July 13 when a shooter’s bullet grazed his ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and the second at the former president’s golf course in Florida in mid-September.
Further details of the California arrest were not immediately available.
Another man, an Iraqi national, who was singled out as a “hit” by police dogs trained to identify explosives, was also turned away from the event, Bianco said.
An armed man who claims he wants to assassinate a presidential candidate was arrested outside of one of that candidate’s rallies. That should be national news. Let’s see if we’re just ahead of the curve or if corporate media will bury it.
