Trump Disappears as DOJ Ignores Attempted Assassination of Ohio Gov Candidate, MAGA Calls It "Hoax"
Summary
Michael Popock criticizes the DOJ and FBI for failing to investigate an apparent assassination attempt on Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton, who was approached with firearms at the Canfield Fair. He highlights the dismissive response from local officials and Vivek Ramaswamy, who labeled the event a mere security incident, while MAGA influencer Laura Loomer falsely claimed it was staged. Popock argues that the lack of federal action and the suspect’s minor state charges reflect a dangerous double standard in protecting political figures.
