John Fetterman Calls Out Tin Foil Hat' Democrats Who Think Trump Assassination Attempts Were Staged

"Nearly one third of Americans (30 percent) believe that at least one of the three attempts on President Donald Trump's life over the last two years was staged, according to a new NewsGuard/YouGov poll. For each attempted assassination, a majority of Americans said either that it was staged or that they were not sure averaging 54 percent across all three. Only 38 percent of Americans believe that all three assassination attempts were authentic."

"A national survey of 1,000 Americans conducted by YouGov on behalf of NewsGuard asked respondents from April 28 to May 4 whether they believed any of the three attempts on Trump's life at a July 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at Trump's West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024, and at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in April 2026 was staged. Respondents indicated whether they thought the statement that the assassination attempt was staged was true, false, or that they were not sure."

"The same poll found that 34% of Democrats believed the attack at last month's White House Correspondents' Dinner was staged. There is no evidence to suggest that any of the three assassination attempts were faked."

"Assassinations + political violence are real. My party can't be the tin foil hat brigade. I was there a table away and I promise you, this was not staged, he wrote."
