It's sad that this is getting so much coverage and the news cycle has completely forgotten about the school shooting in GA.

We as a society have talked more about cats than the loss of innocent lives.

I hope Taylor Swift has seriously upped her security.

If a person sow seeds of lies, that what you reap!😮😮😮😮😮😮!

I am an independent and I will be voting for Harris/ Walz. I am choosing truth over lies, freedom over dictatorship, unity over division, joy over misery! We cannot loose our democracy!! and you have a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a niece, a mother, a best friend then you better be careful what box you check on the ballot! Because reproductive freedom also affects MEN!

The issue should be the issue of 400 million Firearms in a country of 380 million!

[andrewcraft]

That's the responsible thing for Harris to say to help the country. Trump wouldn't even acknowledge his reckless lies are putting kids in danger? Will our country ever recover from Donald Trump?

The real problem is not Trump or Vance, but the people who are ready to vote for them as their leaders.

You didn’t mention all the republicans using guns in their political ads. It’s sick.

Hate speech is a crime in developed countries.

This was an OSCAR WINNING PERFORMANCE to garner votes, sympathy, and monetary campaign donations. This one wins the trophy.🏆🏆🏆🏆

Way to "both-sides" it, Peter Baker.

Had he only been jailed after conviction we’d be spared this trauma. He’s a virus more contagious and fatal than COVID. We need expert help—psychiatrists, cult experts. This isn’t politics, it’s terrorism and a public health crisis. Get him away from the public before he burns down the whole effing place. PROTECT THE PEOPLE: Can we even expect that low bar for all the taxes we pay?

[PacificForage]

Political violence was a rarity until Trump came along. Make politics normal again.

[lentongunn]

Why would 45 say he hates Tsylor? Does he want his supporters to harass her and physically threaten her and the Swifties?

[echoravenrider]

He continuously incites violence and then complains. Smh.

[marygemmacapodanno]

Vance is steely cold, calculating, vicious and cruel: Heinrich Himmler.

[llenrad]

Part of the Trump playbook: Bully to change the reality and perceptions of what people actually see and hear.

[daveg]

Hey Al. A bullet did not "literally hit his ear". If anything did indeed hit his ear, it was a fragment of the teleprompter.

[jamesgreenler]

Its impossible to lie to millions of people every day and not make a few enemies. Duh

Routines are extremely important to Alzheimers suffers. Taking golf away from Trump, may push him to new levels.
