The one-year anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, still leaves many questions unanswered. Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old shooter, had no history of violence but murdered a firefighter and wounded others before being killed by Secret Service. Investigators confirm he acted alone, yet his motive remains unknown.
CBS reporter Scott MacFarlane now claims he developed PTSD from the crowd’s reaction toward media at that rally. He says the anger directed at journalists traumatized him. This comes despite the crowd’s focus being on saving lives during the actual shooting.
Many Americans see this as misplaced priorities. While heroes like firefighter Corey Compator lost their lives protecting others, the reporter centers himself. Real trauma belongs to the victims’ families, not journalists covering the event.
The anger at media that day wasn’t random. For years, biased reporting has smeared conservatives and dismissed their concerns. Crowds recognize this unfair treatment, especially at conservative events. Their frustration is understandable when journalism ignores facts for activism.
It’s outrageous that a reporter would compare his experience to those who took bullets. First responders and rally attendees faced real danger, not just hurt feelings. This “trauma” claim disrespects true courage displayed that day.
Media figures often play victim instead of admitting their role in dividing America. When journalists promote false narratives, they fuel public distrust. Crowd reactions are consequences of their own biased actions over many years.
Conservatives know what real sacrifice looks like. The firefighter who died shielding others exemplifies heroism. Reporters seeking sympathy should reflect on why patriotic Americans question their integrity instead of pretending to be targets.
Honest Americans see through this victim act. True strength comes from honoring the fallen and protecting our leaders, not complaining about tough questions from concerned citizens. Media should report facts, not fantasies about their own importance.
