CBS News responded to former President Trump's scathing criticism of its shady editing of an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris by cavalierly denying it had altered her garbled answer to make her sound coherent.

House lawmakers tasked with investigating the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania said Monday that the attack never would have happened had the Secret Service been prepared. The House Task Force on the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler released a 53-page interim report detailing the “stunning security failures” that led to Trump being struck in the ear by a bullet fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. These failures included numerous communication errors and inadequate planning to secure the site.  “Put simply, the evidence obtained by the Task Force to date shows the tragic and shocking events of July 13 were preventable and should not have happened,” the task force said.  One of the key findings of the report concluded that the security perimeter set up by the Secret Service allowed people to get within around 150 yards of the stage where Trump was speaking without going through security screening.  “The Task Force found that the [American Glass Research] parking lot was in fact closed to vehicle traffic, but a crowd gathered on the adjacent grassy area near the chain link fence that marked the outer perimeter established by the Secret Service,” the report said. “Onlookers in that area did not need to pass through the event’s magnetometers to see the rally stage — despite being approximately 150 yards from where the former President was speaking.” Additionally, the task force noted that the Secret Service recognized that areas outside the security perimeter were risks but didn’t take the proper steps to secure them.  “Despite its proximity to a main road, clear sight lines to the stage, and elevated position, the Secret Service placed the AGR complex outside the secure perimeter for the event, meaning that the crowd that gathered there was not screened by USSS or other law enforcement,” the report said. “The consequences of that decision were compounded by the fact that state and local law enforcement posted near the complex did not have complete visual coverage of the area.” Crooks was able to access the roof of the AGR building using an air conditioning unit to hoist himself up. From there, he opened fire, injuring Trump and two rallygoers and killing 50-year-old Corey Comperatore.  One local Butler police officer encountered Crooks before he opened fire as he attempted to climb up on the roof.  “I see Crooks facing downrange towards the stage, but his eyes are back at me as I’m coming up,” the officer told the task force. “And I would say, like, his facial expressions was surprised. His eyes were very big, like, what are you doing up here?” “And as I’m coming up and he’s got the gun pointed at me, I don’t know if I reach for my gun, if I slip, but all I know from that point is I’m looking at him, and all my weight is on my, like, arms, my hands, and I don’t have a grip,” the officer added, explaining why he was unable to confront Crooks.  MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 The officer fell to the ground and radioed out that there was a man with a gun on the roof. The task force said it has no evidence that this warning reached Trump’s Secret Service detail before Crooks opened fire.  While the FBI has said that a Secret Service sniper took out Crooks, one local police officer said he fired at Crooks and believed that he hit him. FBI investigator Kevin Rojek said that the agency had “no forensic evidence indicating that that round either struck our subject or the subject’s rifle.” The release of the House report follows several other reports on the assassination attempt from the Senate and from an independent panel created by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Each report has found the Secret Service liable for major planning failures and systematic communication breakdowns.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate for the 2024 election, has ignited controversy with an explosive social media rant aimed at former President Donald Trump. Walz's outburst followed a viral video of Trump working a brief shift at a McDonald's, a move which Trump framed as a demonstration of his support for blue-collar Americans. While Trump’s visit resonated with many, particularly among his working-class base, it clearly struck a nerve with Walz, who took to social media with a flurry of expletive-laden criticisms. Walz's fiery response accused Trump of "mocking real workers" and claimed the former president was "a billionaire pretending to understand the struggles of everyday Americans." Walz’s words, which were swiftly shared and debated across platforms, included accusations that Trump’s stunt was a "slap in the face" to hard-working Americans and showcased the disingenuousness of his populist message. Tim Walz is a psycho! https://t.co/Vbui1EQcNB — Daniel F. Baranowski (@DFBHarvard) October 21, 2024 The social media explosion is indicative of how personal and aggressive the 2024 presidential race is becoming. Kamala Harris’s decision to pick Walz, the two-term governor of Minnesota, as her running mate signaled a strategic push to appeal to Midwestern voters. However, his combative tone on social media could either energize progressives or alienate moderates seeking a more civil discourse in the heated political environment. In the same post, Walz also attacked Trump’s broader record, accusing him of failing to deliver on promises to American workers during his presidency. He highlighted issues such as Trump’s tax cuts, which he claimed disproportionately benefited the wealthy, and accused Trump of exacerbating economic inequality. Walz's words may reflect Democratic frustration, as Trump continues to rally significant support despite ongoing legal battles and controversies. Who thinks Tim Walz is a pathetic shit-bag? pic.twitter.com/LpXRpGrFtk — Trump Lover (@SUBRATA30016572) October 15, 2024 Trump's McDonald’s appearance came as part of his broader 2024 campaign, which continues to draw enthusiastic crowds. Trump has maintained a focus on working-class voters, whom he considers vital to his strategy for reclaiming the White House. His McDonald’s shift, where he took orders and served customers briefly, seemed designed to evoke the image of a leader in touch with the average American’s life—an image his base embraces. Critics of Walz’s response argue that his social media meltdown only reinforces the image of Democrats being out of touch with rural and working-class voters. Conservative commentators were quick to note that Trump’s appeal remains strong precisely because of his ability to communicate directly with these voters in ways that resonate culturally. Many argued that Walz’s vitriolic attack was counterproductive, potentially widening the gap between Democrats and the very voters they need to win back. Walz, who previously faced criticism for his handling of the George Floyd protests in Minnesota, has a history of invoking strong emotions in politically charged moments. His latest outburst might have been intended to showcase his authenticity and passion, but it also risks overshadowing more substantive issues in the campaign. Meanwhile, Harris has largely avoided direct involvement in the controversy, focusing her campaign messaging on policy initiatives. As the campaign continues to intensify, Walz's aggressive approach on social media could either rally progressive Democrats or push undecided voters away. With the race for the White House becoming increasingly polarized, Walz’s outburst signals the emotional stakes at play for both parties as they vie for control in the next election​​.
