FBI Now Claims There Was ‘Never’ Any Doubt Trump Was Hit By A Bullet

A top FBI official insisted on Tuesday that there had “never” been any question as to whether former President Donald Trump was wounded in the ear by a bullet during an assassination attempt.

FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate made the assertion during a hearing in the days after his boss, FBI Director Christopher Wray, suggested that shrapnel may have caused the injury.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Abbate if the FBI, which is investigating the shooting, had any doubt that Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month.

“There is absolutely no doubt in the FBI’s mind whether former President Trump was hit with a bullet and wounded in the ear,” Abbate replied. “No doubt, there never has been.”

.@SenJohnKennedy asks if there's any doubt President Trump was shot in the ear: "It wasn't a space laser? It wasn't a murder hornet? It wasn't sasquatch? It was a bullet…fired by Crooks that hit president Trump in the ear and almost killed him?"

Kennedy went on to ask, “It wasn’t a space laser? … It wasn’t a murder hornet? … It wasn’t Sasquatch?” He also got Abbate to say the bullet was shot by the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks.

A Secret Service sniper shot and killed 20-year-old Crooks while other personnel rushed to protect Trump and escort him off the stage, but not before the former president was struck in the right ear.

One rally-goer, 50-year-old fireman Corey Comperatore, was killed. Two others were wounded and have been released from the hospital in recent days.

Last Wednesday, during a hearing before the House, Wray cast doubt on whether Trump had actually been hit by a bullet — as the former president had said from the beginning.

“I think with respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” Wray said.

He added, “It’s conceivable — although as I sit here right now I don’t know whether that bullet, in addition to, you know, causing the grazing could have also landed somewhere else.”

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Trump’s former White House physician, posted to X that he personally examined the wound and condemned Wray for his “absolutely irresponsible” statement.

Trump called on Wray to step down, though he did so citing another issue. He did also react to the bullet comment, saying, “No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!”

The FBI released a statement on Friday declaring that Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet shot by the gunman at the former president’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“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 bureau said.

MSNBC Contributor Claims JD Vance — Who Has 3 Biracial Children — Only Wants White Kids In America

MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast claimed during a Tuesday appearance that vice presidential nominee JD Vance (R-OH) only wanted to see “white kids” in the United States — but she neglected to mention the fact that Vance is the father of three biracial children.

Jong-Fast joined MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire — who made no move to qualify her statement — in responding to Vance’s now-viral comments about Americans who were “childless” by choice.

“The stats are there,” Lemire began. “More and more Americans are choosing not to have kids, which again emphasizes why JD Vance’s comments about childless Americans, ‘childless cat ladies,’ could be so politically damaging.”

“Well, so what’s interesting is this is this naturalism that comes from an authoritarian playbook, right?” Jong-Fast asserted. “That there need to be more white children, right? That’s the idea, that there’s — you know — this is about great replacement theory racism, right? This is what this is, so don’t misunderstand it for him wanting more children. He wants a certain kind of, you know, racist thing.”

What neither Jong-Fast nor Lemire acknowledged was the fact that JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance — the American-born daughter of Indian immigrants — are parents to three biracial children.

“His children are biracial. This is gross,” conservative pundit Mary Katharine Ham posted in response.

Ellen Carmichael, a communications professional, added two points for consideration: “1. There should be more white children (and children of every color, because kids are awesome and our birth rate is plummeting). 2. Weird to advance a white supremacy theory by ::checks notes:: procreating non-white babies with an Indian American.”

“You know, the actual damning thing in this clip is not the nepobaby saying something stupid, but the supposedly objective @politico reporter who does not push back on the stupidity. More and more, it is clear much of the political press has picked a side,” conservative radio host Erick Erickson commented.
