Just days ago, we pointed out how Trump assassination trutherism has become a thing on the political left. That was fueled in part by comments from FBI director Christopher Wray, who stupidly speculated that Trump’s ear could have been hit by ‘shrapnel’ rather than a bullet.
The FBI has clarified this with a statement, now that the damage is done.
NBC News reports:
FBI confirms that a bullet struck Trump’s ear during assassination attemptThe FBI said Friday that a bullet or fragments of it struck Donald Trump’s ear during an assassination attempt on the former president this month at a campaign rally.“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the FBI said in a statement.The statement comes two days after FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom Trump nominated to his post in 2017, told House lawmakers that “there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, hit his ear.”Wray had testified about the FBI’s ongoing probe into the assassination attempt. A gunman identified as Thomas Crooks, 20, was shot and killed after opening fire from an elevated post not far from Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, that left one spectator dead and two others critically injured.
It’s so obvious why this happened.
Tyrus of the Greg Gutfeld show on FOX News made an outstanding point about this on Friday night. I have searched high and low for the clip, but it’s not available anywhere so I’ll just tell you about it.
Tyrus suggested that all we have to do is ask Christopher Wray if Corey Comperatore, the firefighter father who was shot and killed at the Trump rally while shielding his family, was also killed by shrapnel.
Just hold up a picture of Comperatore, and ask Wray to comment. Sir, was this man killed by shrapnel?
