Trump’s gaslighting Press Sec wants us to believe Trump was going to be “delivering jokes and celebrating free speech” before the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was derailed this Saturday.

We all know what was actually planned, which was for Trump to attack the press and then run off like a coward after his speech. Leavitt joked that there were going to be come “shots fired” ahead of the shooting incident that brought the event to an end.

Karoline Leavitt Joked There Would Be ‘Shots Fired Tonight’ Prior to Gunman at White House Correspondents’ Dinner:

Just hours before reports surfaced of multiple shots being fired in the lobby of the hotel where the White House Corresponds’ Dinner was supposed to take place, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described how she believed the evening would turn out.

“It’ll be funny. It’ll be entertaining. There will be some shots fired tonight in the room,” Leavitt, 28, said during an interview that is gong viral on social media, likely referring to the jokes that President Donald Trump was planning to make during his first-ever WHCD speech. “Everyone should tune in, it’s going to be really great.”

“What’s happening??”

It was Elizabeth Mitchell, the Daily Signal’s White House reporter. She was seated next to me at Saturday evening’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. There was urgency and confusion in her voice.

Our table was to the right of and somewhat back from the dais, where President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, First Lady Melania Trump, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, and White House Correspondents’ Association President Weijia Jiang of CBS News were seated, along with others.

Elizabeth was looking in that general direction. I was looking at my salad. I turned toward her as she spoke. In a split second, before I tried to see what was happening, I knew, or at least feared, that something was very, very wrong.

Forty-five years ago President Ronald Reagan was shot and nearly killed by a would-be assassin outside the Washington Hilton Hotel. Forty-five years later President Donald Trump’s life was in danger from another would-be assassin at the same hotel.

Why?

Because the Secret Service failed Trump — again.

Authorities identified 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen as the man surveillance video shows rushing past a Secret Service checkpoint while reportedly armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives and heading toward the ballroom where the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was taking place on Saturday evening. Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and several cabinet members were present. Allen was reportedly subdued by law enforcement after several shots rang out. Reports indicate the suspect was not struck by gunfire. Two sources told CBS News that the suspect admitted he was targeting members of the Trump administration.
