Legacy Sunday Shows Mostly Pretend Trump Assassination Attempt at Butler Never Happened
14th July 2025
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the failed assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, a transcendent event in our nation’s politics and history that demands reflection. However, the anniversary of the shooting was mostly met with indifference on the legacy media’s Sunday political talk shows.
NBC’s Meet the Press didn’t touch Butler until close to the end of the show, as a subject matter for a panel discussion segment. What is striking about the discussion is that it was centered on the politics of the day and the state of the campaigns- as opposed to a reflection on political violence.
NBC would have you believe that the truest, purest victim of that day was the electoral aspirations of President Joe Biden and not the unmentioned Corey Comperatore, who gave his life in order to protect his wife and daughter from the assassin’s bullets- or, for that matter, the other two gentlemen who were wounded on that day. These three didn’t warrant so much as a mention on the NBC panel, which instead focused on that day.
The Narrative Media love to focus discussions on abstract notions of ‘violence’ rather than the specifics of who is being violent to whom. That way they can avoid any mention of the fact that most ‘violence’ in this country is perpetrated by leftist political activists and criminal elements among fashionable minorities.
