After a startling event, it takes a couple of days to get the story.  Getting “all wee-wee’ed up”, as Obama once called it, isn’t a good idea until the dust settles.

A couple of things happened prior to the attempt to assassinate former President Trump.

In April, U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson and eight other congressmen introduced a bill to strip Secret Service protection from anyone convicted of a felony.  The intention was clearly to leave Trump with no Secret Service protection. 

The Biden Administration has been denying Secret Service protection to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  RFK is running as an independent candidate for president and is polling at 15%.  He is not a trivial candidate.  In case anyone isn’t clear on the history, his father and uncle were assassinated.

Denying Secret Service protection to credible presidential candidates is an extraordinary abuse of power and is thug intimidation.  Greasing the skids for an assassin to murder a presidential candidate is horrible.

That should be reason enough to ruin the political careers of Biden and those nine congressmen.
