WASHINGTON.— The attack suffered yesterday Saturday in Pennsylvania by former president of USA, Donald Trumpin addition to generating reactions in the international political environment, also opened the door to various controversial topics such as the version of a self-attack, that the information about the attacker is false or that the “anti-sniper” elements had the subject in their sights 42 seconds before the shot and he was not “neutralized.”
Rumor in networks of alleged “self-attack”
A number of videos are circulating on social media about the shooting of former US President Donald Trump, some before the attack, others during it and even afterwards.
However, a video of the moments before the attack has also attracted attention, suggesting that the attack against the former president could have been planned.
According to a post by user Matt Wallace on his social media account “X,” moments before the attack, United States Secret Service personnel clear the area behind the platform where former President Trump was delivering his speech.
The information published with the video suggests that this maneuver is somewhat suspicious, because it could appear that the security elements are preparing the area for something that is about to happen.
The text accompanying the video reads: “After this angle was published, rumors are circulating that the attempted assassination of Trump was an inside job. Pay attention to what the secret service agent does seconds before!”
Who shot Trump?
Following the attack against former President Trump, authorities announced that the attacker was named “Mark Violets,” who was a radical extremist militant from the group “Antifa,” considered in the United States to be a “radical, dark and violent” far-left group that former President Trump tried to designate during his administration as a terrorist organization.
However, it was later reported that the attacker was Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man who lived in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, a town located about 60 kilometers south of Butler.
The attacker’s name was also said to be Maxwell Yearick, identified as a 30-year-old Democratic Party voter from Perry South, who pleaded guilty in connection with a police altercation during an anti-Trump protest in 2016, was sentenced and placed in jail in Allegheny County.
Various media outlets and social media users have released the names of Trump’s alleged attacker, causing confusion and doubts.
The only thing that is certain is that the attacker was killed.
Late reaction against the attacker
Information has also been circulating on social media about the actions of the Secret Service personnel guarding former President Donald Trump and the elements working to ensure his safety.
In this regard, he highlighted information that casts doubt on the actions of the “counter-sniper” agents who allegedly located and monitored the attacker for at least 42 seconds before he shot the former president.
Several videos have been circulating in which it is claimed that the officers had the suspect in their sights and that they could have neutralized him before he complied, but that they did not do so.
On his “X” account, Blake Hall, who identifies himself as an Iraq combat veteran, notes that counter-sniper personnel neutralized the attacker “but not before he injured President Trump, killed one innocent civilian, and seriously injured two others.”
