Tucker Carlson: ‘Not Crazy’ to Think ’It Wasn’t Just a Lone Gunman’

Two days after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, political commentator Tucker Carlson says, “It’s not crazy to think that there was something there, it was an effort to kill Trump, it wasn’t just a lone gunman.”

The assailant crawled on to a nearby rooftop Saturday night while Trump was on stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 33 miles north of Pittsburgh. The shooter fired multiple shots, shirking Trump in the right ear. It remains unclear how the gunman, who was killed, was not seen and neutralized by authorities prior to opening fire.

“At some point we may find out what happened on Saturday,” Carlson says.

The Daily Signal caught up with Carlson behind the scenes of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee Monday to asked about the implications of the assassination attempt on the election, and Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, for vice president.
