It happened again, a deranged leftist, Cole Allen, fueled by hate, came too close to assassinating President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday night.
Allen, who lives in Torrance, California, is a 31-year-old teacher and video game developer. He charged at the security checkpoint, right outside the ballroom. Before being tackled, Allen fired at least five shots, hitting one Secret Service agent, who will make a full recovery because he was wearing a bulletproof vest. When he was apprehended, Allen was carrying a pistol, a shotgun, and multiple knives.
Ten minutes before the shooting, Allen sent a manifesto to his family members. He said he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” According to the New York Post, Allen was affiliated with the progressive group “The Wide Awakes” and attended a leftist “No Kings” protest in California.
