It Has Been Almost 4 Days, And Trump Has Not Released A Medical Report
The shooting at the Trump rally in Butler, PA happened on Saturday night. It is now Wednesday, and no official medical report of the ex-president’s injuries has been made public.
Former RNC Chair Michael Steele is one of the few cable news media members asking questions.
Steele said on MSNBC:
Let's start with last night and the band-aid. That's fine. What I -- where I am at this point, it's been three days going on four since this horrific event occurred, a person lost their live, two have been severely injured, yet we have not received a medical report from the hospital nor have we received a medical report from the campaign or the Trump Organization about the extent of the damage to his ear. If he was shot by a high-caliber bullet, there should probably be very little ear there. And so we would like to know that.
Is there cosmetic surgery involved. What is the prognosis for recovery? Were there stitches? What is the extent and nature of the damage to his ear? Was it caused by a bullet as opposed to some reports from those on the scene, other reporters, saying that it was actually shards of glass from the teleprompter itself, not the bullet. So there are a lot of questions around that ear.
Video:
There have been reports and rumors that are coming from Pennsylvania State Troopers that a bullet didn’t hit Trump but that it was a shard of glass that cut his ear.
Being that Republicans have gone all on God saving Trump from a bullet, their story would fall apart if God didn’t save Trump from a bullet but a really bad glass cut.
Anyone who has watched more than five minutes of the Republican convention can see that Republicans are trying to milk the events in Butler for everything that they can get, but there are two important questions that relate to democracy.
Where is the medical report?
Why isn’t the media demanding it?
