Politics aside, words matter. You say, “man who TRIED to shoot” Trump. He didn’t try, he did. You say the “BARELY wounded victim.”

The subtlety of the qualifiers you’ve injected into your prose seek to diminish the act itself to serve your position.

I too hope, and pray, for a calmer path forward, whomever gets elected.

Let’s remember to this event was not just about Trump. A man lost his life, and two others were critically injured likely changing their lives going forward.
