The difference between Biden/Harris and TFG can be summed up in Trumps response to the Butler Pa attempt on his life. There has not been one media reference to Trump reaching out to the attendee who was killed or to the other two wounded. Instead Trump was playing golf the next day. I can only assume Harris or Biden would have reached out to the familes, if not in person.

Corey Comperatore took his wife and daughter(s) to 45's hate-fest rally in Butler, PA.

When he was killed, President Biden called his widow to express condolences. She refused his call, saying something to the effect her husband was totally for tRump. The convicted felon, who (imo) was shot AT, not shot, spent Sunday golfing, then showed up at the RNC on Monday with a "maxi-pad" bandage on his ear and Ronny Jackson's faked medical excuse still to come once questions began to arise. 45 finally did call the widow on that Monday, but I never heard him mention the names of the daughters, and doubt he knows their names - or cares. He used Comperatore's first responder gear as a prop during his 90-plus minute nomination acceptance "ramble" that went past midnight. As Vice President Harris said, "exhaustion and boredom."

If 45 had listened to our calls for sensible gun laws, neither assassination attempt would have happened.

If 45 had been in prison for his many crimes, neither assassination attempt would have happened.

If the hateful rhetoric inciting violence by 45 and the NRA-funded GOP had been rebuked over the years, candidates and audiences would be safer.

If 45 and Vance would quit telling lies, Springfield, Ohio wouldn't be experiencing dozens of bomb threats and afraid of some lunatic targeting their community based on those lies.

The felon's stunt on the stage with Comparator's first responder gear was truly creepy.

How sad she was so full of hate she couldn't accept a call from the President of the United States.

I think he did eventually talk to the deceased victim's wife when he said (during a clip from a rallython) he presented "a $1MM check and she said she would rather have her husband than the money ... can you believe it?" (My recollection paraphrase) My question then and now: At least $6MM apparently was raised by a Go-Fund-Me, as reported immediately after the event. What happened to the rest of the purported money? Never saw any reporting on the obvious discrepancy ... off into the ether of the ongoing GOP grift?
