Wray said it’s not clear yet whether it might have been shrapnel
His insecurity-induced attack is pretty much confirmation that the bullet didn’t touch him
Easy enough for him to prove it— just take the maxi pad off and show the public.
But now he has a bigger problem, eventually he has to make his lie match his purported ear damage.
He wasn’t really shot, I’m calling it
I was on board with this theory for a minute, but I changed my mind.
If you watch the video of the exact time this occurred, he definitely grabs at something on the side of his face that’s not visible to the camera with his right hand. For a brief moment, you can see that his hand is bloodless.
However, two people died… so that’s the part that can’t really be staged.
If two people hadn’t died, I’d think he crushed one of those Halloween blood capsule things when he went to duck and cover, but the two deaths lead me to believe otherwise.
For anyone who was wondering why Trump refused to release the medical report after the shooting, this is why.
I remember one of the first things I heard was that a bullet struck the teleprompter and he was hit by broken glass. I never heard anything about it after that, so I assumed it was just false; but it made a whole lot of sense at the time.
They followed up that it was likely a bullet or bullet fragment
This story could have just gone away, with most people never hearing that maybe he just has a little cut under his big gauze pad and anyone trying to bring it up looking extremely petty. But nope, Trump himself can’t just let things pass unanswered.
Also worth noting: Wray’s statements were made in response to questions asked by Jim Jordan.
This isn’t something Democrats went looking to dig up. It got stirred up by one of Trump’s frothiest allies.
