Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

So let’s not do what they do and live in an evidence-based world and not an emotion-based one.

The “facts don’t care about your feelings” party doesn’t care about facts and spends a lot of time on how their feelings are hurt.

My evidence (in addition to the weirdness of his reaction, and the convenient blood) - has any article mentioned a shooter being seen/shot/arrested/known to exist? I can’t remember a time where there was a shooting and no article said ANYTHING about a shooter, only about the shots. Nothing could be better for the Trump campaign than for him to be “almost” assassinated.

In addition to the two fatalities, one other person is believed to be in a critical condition.

Wonder if this should be posted as a new article to the news communities? It’s important, more relevant information.
