In the wake of the shooting, one eyewitness told the media microphones he was surprised it hadn't happened before now. He's not alone in a country that feels the persistent undercurrent of political violence.
The first questions are all about the incident itself, of course - the perpetrator, the motivation and method. Not forgetting: how on earth could this have happened? It's scarcely believable for anyone who has attended a Trump event and witnessed the security firewall that separates the man from the masses. The agents charged with Donald Trump's protection, Secret Service or otherwise, face a grilling on a failure in the fundamentals of the job.
He wrote that the president had 'sent the orders' for the shooting, referencing a statement in which Biden had said: 'We're done talking about the debate. It's time to put Trump in a bullseye.' The House member's post was subsequently deleted. A recognition that he'd gone too far, like the rhetoric of violence generally? Perhaps - it was a single post by one politician, withdrawn.
