CNN’s Jim Acosta Says ‘Wildly Irresponsible for Trump to Say Secret Service Didn’t Protect Him’
CNN anchor Jim Acosta accused former President Trump of being “wildly irresponsible” for claiming the Secret Service didn’t protect him when he was shot at a rally on July 13.
Trump in a Truth Social post Tuesday said, “The Biden/Harris Administration did not properly protect me, and I was forced to take a bullet for Democracy. IT WAS MY GREAT HONOR TO DO SO!”
Acosta was not happy with Trump’s statement and defended the Secret Service as a “professional operation.”
“Perhaps he’s not aware the director [Kimberly Cheatle] has stepped down, but that’s what he’s saying,” Acosta said.
“I mean, obviously the Secret Service is a professional operation. To say something like ‘they did not protect me’, it just sounds wildly irresponsible,” Acosta told former Secret Service agent Jonathon Wackrow.

Acosta: The Secret Service is a professional operation…to say something like ‘they did not protect me’ it just sounds just wildly irresponsible.
Wackrow: …not the reality of the situation… pic.twitter.com/O2pmbs7MTT
Wackrow responded that Trump was “just capitalizing on the moment” and viewing the situation “through the color of politics.”
“It’s not the reality of the situation,” he added.
It was, in fact, the reality of the situation: Trump only survived a would-be assassin’s bullet because he slightly turned his head, not because the Secret Service prevented the shooting in the first place.
This is unbelievable. It wasn’t just that a single shot missed Trump. But the turn of his head at the exact right moment, avoids three different bullets in a matter of less than a second. #trump pic.twitter.com/EHEUHQLTJL

The Secret Service managed to neutralize the shooter only after he had taken the opportunity to fire several rounds at Trump.
This is a great simulation of the 7 shots the shooter got off, and it fits with the angle of attack. I believe this to be true. Except for the part where the shooter’s intentions were primarily to commit a mass shooting.

No, that was secondary at best. He went for Trump. pic.twitter.com/Qt7UKbSsb2
In fact, it was revealed that the Secret Service’s failure to protect Trump was the result of numerous security lapses, including failing to spot shooter Thomas Crooks on the roof of a building less than 200 yards away from the former president.
Multiple eyewitnesses attending the rally also repeatedly warned authorities about Crooks’ suspicious behavior leading up to the shooting but were ignored.
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned Tuesday following an intense grilling on Capitol Hill, admitted the agency failing to prevent Trump from getting shot was “the most significant operational failure of the Secret Service in decades.”
But according to Acosta, the Secret Service did a bang-up job!
In reality, it’s the Secret Service that’s “wildly irresponsible” for allowing a former president to be shot in the head.
ICE Arrests Colombian Fugitive Released Into US by Biden’s Border Patrol Despite Homicide Conviction
Federal authorities arrested a Colombian illegal who was released into the country by U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) despite a conviction for homicide in his home country.
On Monday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the capture of the 35-year-old illegal alien in Maryland.
The Colombian has illegally entered the U.S. at least twice during the Biden administration, first on June 22, 2022.
USBP encountered the convicted killer after he crossed the southern border near San Luis, Arizona.
During processing, he was served with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge.
“Later that day, USBP transferred the Colombian fugitive to the custody of ERO Phoenix, who enrolled him into the Alternatives to Detention [ATD] program and released him from custody,” ICE explained in a press release.
“ERO Baltimore terminated the Colombian noncitizen from ATD July 6, 2022, after he failed to report as scheduled.”
The Colombian left the U.S. more than a year later on December 17, 2023.
He then reentered the country illegally at an unknown location and date.
On June 12, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) learned the man was present in the state of Maryland and that he was being sought by Colombian authorities to serve a prison sentence of more than 17 years for a conviction of aggravated homicide in 2017.
ICE ERO agents from the Baltimore office tracked him down at his residence in Lanham, MD, and took him into custody on June 20.
He is currently in ICE ERO custody.
“This fugitive is wanted by Colombian authorities to serve his sentence for an aggravated homicide conviction in his home county,” ICE ERO Baltimore Field Office Director Matthew Elliston said in a statement.
“Instead of serving his prison sentence, he attempted to flee justice and hide out in Maryland.”
Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals illegally present in the U.S.

Watch: Biden Emerges From Hiding For First Time Since Dropping Out of 2024 Race
Joe Biden has finally appeared in public for the first time since dropping out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday amid widespread concerns over his physical health.
Biden had not been seen publicly for seven days since he contracted COVID-19 and holed up at his Delaware residence to quarantine.
Biden was seen stepping out of his motorcade in Dover, Del. where he ignored questions from reporters as he shuffled over to board Air Force One.

This comes a day after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and media pundits demanded Biden provide proof of life when he announced in a letter posted to X that he’s dropping out of the 2024 race.
Biden had called into a rally for Kamala Harris on Monday, where he said “the name has changed at the top of the ticket, but the mission hasn’t changed at all.”
Biden is scheduled to deliver an Oval Office address to the nation to speak on his decision to drop out on Wednesday, July 24 at 7:00 pm CST.

Biden Accuses GOP Of Calling For Political Violence After Deep State Tried To Kill Trump
Joe Biden responded on X Tuesday to a remark made by Ohio state Sen. George Lang (R) at a Monday night solo rally hosted by Donald Trump’s vice president selection J.D. Vance.
During the rally, Lang warned he’s “afraid” the country could face a second Civil War if Trump and Vance lose the election.
In response to the comment, whoever runs Joe Biden’s X account shared the video clip and wrote, “Folks, calls to violence threaten our democracy’s foundation. You can’t love your country only when you win. Let’s solve our problems with ballots and elect Kamala Harris as the next President of the United States of America.”
Folks, calls to violence threaten our democracy’s foundation.

The Biden account, which is simply a mouthpiece for the current political establishment, is claiming the GOP is calling for violence when Lang clearly said he’s “afraid” of that scenario and would like to avoid a hot domestic conflict.
However, one could argue we’re already in a hot Civil War since the attempted Trump assassin Matthew Crooks appears to have been a Deep State patsy à la Lee Harvey Oswald.
It’s also worth noting the same players who have been openly promoting the assassination of Trump for several years also schemed to oust Biden from the Democrat Party presidential ticket.
Several top U.S. military experts agree there was a stand down during Trump’s Pennsylvania rally and that Crooks’ assassination attempt was not a result of incompetence by Secret Service.
USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned on Tuesday, just one day after being grilled by Congress and directly asked if there was “a conspiracy to kill President Trump.”
Alex Jones has warned since the Monday following the Trump attack that the Deep State will try to kill him again, warning patriots in the resistance against globalism they’ll be targeted once the 45th President is taken out.
He’s also pointed out the elite have false flags lined up to blame patriots ahead of their planned crackdown.
“They’re not gonna just kill Trump, they’re gonna kill all the opposition and they’re gonna kill the governors and they’re gonna nerve gas people and they’re gonna cut the power,” he warned.
Watch below as Alex Jones talks with former DOD intelligence operative Ivan Raiklin about how the elite are trying to push the country into a full-on Civil War.
Infowars and Jones do not support offensive violence as it is EXACTLY what the Deep State wants, but we also must deal with the reality that they just fired the first shot in trying to kill Trump and are likely ready to strike again.
Cringe: Chuck Schumer Suffers ‘Please Clap’ Moment While Endorsing Kamala
Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) endured a humiliating “please clap” moment reminiscent of Jeb Bush when he threw his support behind Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
Schumer faced dead silence while attempting to drum up enthusiasm for the Biden surrogate, who’s slated to replace the puppet president on the 2024 Democrat presidential ticket.
“Today is a great, great day for the Democratic Party and the country,” Schumer claimed after Democrats successfully overcame the will of primary voters to boot Biden off the ticket. “We are brimming with excitement, enthusiasm, unity.”
This is how Demtards show support for one another.

Chuck Schumer just had a humiliating Jeb Bush moment
He says “we are here today to throw our support behind Kamala!”
*nobody claps*
So he starts awkwardly clapping
Oofpic.twitter.com/uh7Ffqap4d— DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) July 23, 2024
“So now that the process has played out from the grassroots to the bottom up, we are here today to throw our support behind VP Kamala Harris!” Schumer told the press Tuesday.
While Schumer was likely expecting cheers and applause, no one said a word, prompting him to clap for himself.
“I’m clapping. You don’t have to,” Schumer told reporters, attempting to spare himself embarrassment.
The incident was reminiscent of 2016 Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s infamous “please clap” moment, which signaled the end of his campaign and prompted President Trump’s “Low Energy” nickname.
Since then, other anti-Trump political candidates, including 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have suffered similar fates:
The media’s lack of enthusiasm for Harris is a telltale sign she likely won’t remain the Democrat presidential nominee and will instead be replaced for a more suitable candidate at the DNC next month.
