MSNBC Pulls Morning Joe, Fearing Unhinged Reaction to Trump Shooting.

MSNBC’s flagship Morning Joe show is not airing on Monday. Executives at NBCUniversal News Group are fearful the hosts or their regular guests could say something “inappropriate” about the assassination attempt against Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

CNN reports a source “familiar with the matter” told them the “decision was made to avoid a scenario in which one of the show’s stable of two dozen-plus guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole.”

NBCUniversal News Group chairman Cesar Conde, MSNBC president Rashida Jones, and Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski supposedly made the decision jointly.

The husband-and-wife duo have been amongst the most hyperbolic Trump critics in recent months. In November, Scarborough claimed Trump “is running to end American democracy as we know it” and suggested only the judiciary stopped him from governing in the style of Adolf Hitler in his first term.

“Just because he hasn’t done it yet doesn’t mean he won’t do it when he gets a chance to do it, and if he is voted into office… he will imprison, he will execute, whoever he’s allowed to imprison, execute, uh, uh, uh, uh, drive from the country,” Scarborough ranted.

Senior Republicans such as J.D. Vance have suggested rhetoric like this, from both the corporate media and the Democrats, inspired the assassination attempt against Trump.

Trump Rally Hero Corey Comperatore Died Shielding Family.

Corey Comperatore, the volunteer firefighter who was killed shielding his family from a sniper’s bullets during the assassination attempt against Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, is being celebrated as a selfless family man and community member.

Comperatore, 50, died Saturday night while protecting his wife and family from gunfire. A sniper had managed to sneak onto a roof and open fire on former President Trump. He only struck the president’s ear, but three bystanders were more seriously wounded.

Eileen Shamanski, whose children grew up with Comperatore’s daughters, described his actions as characteristic of his selfless nature. “It’s just so typical of him, protecting his wife and daughter by throwing himself on top of them when the shooting started,” Shamanski said.

The Christian family man’s friends and relations have been left devastated by the incident. Shamanski noted that despite Comperatore’s demanding schedule as an engineer and volunteer firefighter, he never missed his daughters’ soccer events. She expressed disbelief upon hearing the news from her daughters, who called her in tears.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro called Comperatore a hero, saying he “dove on his family to protect them.” Allyson Comperatore, one of his daughters, shared a heartfelt tribute to her father, describing him as “the best dad a girl could ask for.”

“He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a bullet for us,” she said.

“Corey put everyone and everything first before himself. It showed in his leadership as Fire Chief, Husband, Father, and Son. He died a hero because he was a hero. Putting others first,” concurred Mark Lauer, former president of the Butler County Fire Chiefs Association.

A fundraiser for Comperatore’s family had raised around $850,000 as of the time of publication.

Don Jr. Slams ‘Vile’ CNN for Attacking His Father’s ‘Fight!’ Message After Assassination Attempt.

Donald Trump Jr. slammed CNN after correspondent Jamie Gangel scolded his father for his “rhetoric” after he was shot on Saturday. “I do want to say there was one thing that when I watched the tape, I found odd, because of all of the heated rhetoric,” she said. “And that is after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!'”

Bloodied after being shot through the ear, the America First leader paused the Secret Service agents attempting to hustle him from the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania while he raised a fist and delivered the rousing message to his alarmed audience.

“I think what we’re hearing from people is that’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down,” Gangel complained.

“Someone attempted to assassinate my father tonight and this is what CNN is focused on,” Don Jr. posted on social media. “These people are vile.”

Gangel did not stress the “heated rhetoric” of Joe Biden over recent weeks. Shortly before the assassination attempt, the 81-year-old claimed Trump intends to become a “dictator” if reelected.

On Monday, Biden told donors it was time to “put Trump in a bullseye.” He warned Trump “really could” become a dictator following a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity on July 5. He said Trump “is a genuine threat to this nation… a threat to our freedom [and] our democracy” on June 28.

Senator J.D. Vance, a leading candidate for Trump’s 2024 running mate, says the “central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs,” arguing, “This rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”

Comcast’s Sky News Reacts to Trump Shooting: ‘Nothing Justifies an Assassination Bid – But…’

Comcast NBCUniversal’s Sky News reacted to the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, by questioning whether the America First leader has changed “the rules of engagement” in politics.

One of Britain’s leading news broadcasters, Sky published the article ‘Nothing justifies an assassination bid – but did Trump play a part in changing the rules of engagement?’ within hours of the shooting, which injured President Trump and left at least one of his supporters dead.

U.S. correspondent James Matthews said Trump had “joked about the brutal assault on the husband of former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi” and “downplay[ed] a kidnap plot against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer“—which turned out to have been orchestrated in large part by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) plants and informants.

Matthews claimed Joe Biden and the Democrats responded to the assassination attempt with “benevolence”—making no mention of the fact that the 81-year-old incumbent had been fearmongering about Trump’s supposed plans to become a “dictator” shortly before the attack.

Sky News also expressed shock that the shooting was able to take place, suggesting the “agents charged with Donald Trump’s protection, Secret Service or otherwise, face a grilling on a failure in the fundamentals of the job.”

Biden on July 8: ‘We’re Done Talking about the Debate, It’s Time to Put Trump in a Bullseye.’

Joe Biden engaged in dangerous rhetoric in a call with donors on Monday, telling them: “We’re done talking about the debate; it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

The 81-year-old Democrat made the comments about former President Donald J. Trump, who survived an assassination attempt yesterday, in a recording of a July 8 call with donors obtained by POLITICO.

Speaking to “hundreds” of leading donors and bundlers on his National Finance Committee, Biden said: “We need to move forward. Look, we have roughly 40 days til the convention, 120 days til the election. We can’t waste any more time being distracted.”

“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate; it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” he declared.

Following the assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which left Trump injured and at least one of his supporters dead, Biden issued a statement branding the attack “sick” and said there is “no place in America for this kind of violence.”

However, the Democrat threatened shortly before the shooting that Trump means to become a “dictator,” fueling fear and hatred of the America First leader on the radical left.

Biden Threatened That Trump Would Become a ‘Dictator’ Before Assassination Attempt.

Joe Biden has issued a statement branding the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump “sick,” saying there is “no place in America for this kind of violence” and referring to the former president familiarly as “Donald.” However, before the shooting, he had been fearmongering about the America First leader becoming a “dictator.”

“Trump has said that if he wins, he’ll be a dictator on day one. And folks, he means it,” Biden alleged in a social media post on the day of the shooting. 

“Just look at this right-wing Project 2025—the blueprint for the second Trump term,” he added. 

“Americans want a president, not a dictator,” Biden reiterated in a subsequent post.

On July 5, he claimed Trump “really could” become a dictator thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in his favor on presidential immunity. He issued a similar statement on July 4, telling the public, “Ask yourself: What will happen next?”

On June 28, he said, “Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He’s literally a threat to everything America stands for.”

Trump Issues Stunning New Statement: ‘God Alone Prevented the Unthinkable.’

Donald Trump has posted a new statement thanking “everyone for [their] thoughts and prayers” after he survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening. “It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” wrote the former president.

“We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” Trump continued.

“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed,” he wrote.

“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.”

On the night of the attack, War Room host and Trump advisor Stephen K. Bannon told The National Pulse that the former president “wears the Armor of God.”

“Today, our leader showed total command presence, stood tall, and said ‘FIGHT’!” he added.

Farage Flying to America to Support Trump: ‘We Have to Stand Up for Democracy.’

Reform Party leader Nigel Farage is flying out to America to support Donald Trump following the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The Brexit champion says he would have been at the rally where the shooting took place if not for his last-minute decision to stand for Parliament in Britain’s snap election on July 4.

“I will go and see my friend. I’ll listen to his acceptance speech at the [Republican National] Convention on Thursday, and I’ll do it not just as a friend, but I’ll do it because we have to stand up for democracy. We have to stand up for people to be able to campaign,” he said.

“If we don’t, we’re absolutely sunk.”

Farage and Trump are longtime allies. In 2016, Trump supported Brexit, and Farage supported Trump on the campaign trail.

Farage was among the first people to meet with President-elect Trump after his victory over Hillary Clinton, Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, and other leading Brexit supporters.

Trump congratulated Farage following his parliamentary breakthrough on July 4, calling him “a man who truly loves his country.”

Saturday’s assassination attempt saw Trump was struck in the ear by a rifleman, named by the authorities as Thomas Crooks of Bethel Park, PA. The National Pulse identified Crooks as a 2021 donor to the Progressive Turnout Project through the Democratic donation platform ActBlue.

While Trump has not been seriously wounded, supporters standing near him sustained more severe injuries, with at least one reported killed.

Trans Singer Calls for Biden’s Assassination Over Israel.

Transgender singer-songwriter Ethel Cain has seemingly called for the assassination of members of the Biden government and Joe Biden himself in a post on Instagram. Cain reposted an image graphic from Democracy Now regarding the Biden government’s $1 billion weapons sale to Israel, adding the comment: “We need to bring back assassinations.” He then posted a black square image while tagging Biden’s official government Instagram account with the message: “@joebiden bitch”

In a follow-up post, Cain became more irate, stating: “feel like i’m taking crazy pills living in america in this day and age. billionaires and politicians should be strung up in the street because what the hell is going on. and we can’t even have a revolution because our terroristic military would crush us in a heartbeat if we tried to revolt.”

The threats by Cain mark the latest escalation in progressive political criticism of Biden — dubbed ‘Genocide Joe‘ — and the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group in Gaza. Former President Donald J. Trump holds a significant polling lead in the 2024 presidential election over the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent. The Biden re-election campaign has struggled to shore up support among Arab American, Muslim, and progressive voters amidst his government’s ongoing aid and weapons sales to Israel.

According to 18 US Code § 871, making threats against the President of the United States is categorized as a Class E felony. Those found guilty of making threats could face a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.

The National Pulse previously reported that earlier this month, the Peruvian government passed a resolution categorizing transgender, nonbinary, and intersex individuals as “mentally ill.”
