By For the third time this presidential election cycle, Donald Trump faced another potential assassination attempt. This time authorities arrested a man carrying fake VIP credentials at a rally. A search of the man’s vehicle revealed a shotgun, a high-capacity magazine, and a loaded handgun.
The New York Post offered some disturbing details.
The suspect was caught about a mile from the rally venue with a phony-entry pass, according to police. He was also carrying a loaded shotgun, handgun and high capacity magazine.
“We probably stopped another assassination attempt,” Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said.
The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was intercepted by police at a checkpoint about a half-mile from the rally entrance. He was carrying a fake phony press and VIP passes.
“They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm,” Bianco said, according to the Riverside Press-Enterprise.
The presidential frontrunner was not harmed.
Democrats have been accused of inciting assassination attempts by their ongoing and extreme rhetoric that labels the former president a “threat to democracy.”
Last month, Secret Service agents found an avid supporter of Ukraine in its war against Russia hiding in the bushes at Trump’s golf course. Ryan Routh, an alleged recruiter for the Ukrainian Foreign Legion fled the scene but was later caught by local authorities. He allegedly intended to shoot Trump from roughly 400 feet with an AK-47 rifle.
Over the summer, former President Trump was shot in the head during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter was later killed by those protecting the GOP candidate.
The media has blamed Trump, not the rhetoric of Democrats, for the multiple assassination attempts.
During his rally at Coachella, the former president tore into California’s liberal leadership at an event that drew in thousands.
“The radical left democrats have destroyed this state, but we are going to save it. We’re going to make it better than ever before,” Trump said to his supporters, many who braved the 100-degree heat at the outdoor rally.
“We’re not going to let [Harris] destroy our country like she did San Francisco,” Trump said to cheers.
Earlier in the year, American intelligence authorities claimed that along with the several assassination attempts already experienced, Iran was also targeting Trump and his former officials.
