When you try and kill God’s angels and saviors of the world it just makes them bigger

Let’s be real guys, Bunch of Epstein documents drop, media is silent. Suddenly the the left decides to coordinate an assassination, and all of a sudden, there is sympathy? The man walks away with a scratched ear after up to 8 shots fired? Come on man…

Doesn’t matter what side of the political fence you’re on, this is major foul play! I heard they put the shooter down? Waiting for more updates. A fair fight for the office is better than someone trying to take the oppositions life. https://t.co/ncLId8w0xL

Butler, PA is a tiny town in Pennsylvania btw. I did a photoshoot in Cabot, PA with a sponsor and stopped by the boys and girls club in Butler to speak to some kids. Haven’t been there since. Just crazy.

This is a sad day in America. For people’s minds to be so twisted and heavily attached to what they believe is right.
