White House Responds To Jesse Ventura’s Allegation That Donald Trump Faked Assassination Attempt
On July 13, 2024, there was an attempted assassination on Donald Trump during a campaign rally near Butler, PA. Trump was shot and wounded in his upper right ear by Thomas Crooks. One man was killed and two others were critically injured.
Speaking to Piers Morgan recently, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura claimed the attempt was staged, asking Piers, “You ever hear of a blade job?”
Asked if he thought the attempt was fake, Ventura responded, “I don’t know. Where’s his scar?”
Morgan refuted the claim, noting the death of an audience member.
The White House issued the following statement to US Weekly on Ventura’s claim:
“On that tragic day in Butler, Pennsylvania, we tragically lost an American hero, Corey Comperatore, who selflessly laid down his life to protect those around him,” spokesperson Davis Ingle said. “President Trump will never forget Corey and his beautiful family. On that dark day, God spared President Trump’s life by a miraculous millimeter. President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to ‘fight, fight, fight’ for the American people. Only a fool would believe otherwise.”
Ventura has been very outspoken regarding Trump. Fans can read his claims regarding Trump being in the WWE Hall of Fame here.
