Butler, Pennsylvania, may be a quiet town with just over 13,000 residents â but itâs now forever enshrined in our nationâs memory.
The small town hosted the last Trump rally where the former president just barely escaped a bullet that was meant to kill him, and one of its residents who was in attendance is sharing his side of the story.
âItâs funny, I immediately thought back to like September 11th,â Jessie, the resident, tells Stu Burguiere. âIâve heard a lot of people say âOh, it was such a beautiful day,â and thatâs exactly what it was here.â
Jessie recalls it taking around two-and-a-half hours to get through security, where no one checked IDs or tickets.
âIt was just very, very unorganized,â he tells Stu. âThere was a visible difference of less Secret Service,â he continues, explaining that heâs been to three other Trump rallies in the past.
While there were around 40,000 people in attendance, there were only two snipers Jessie could see on the surrounding rooftops.
âI only heard three shots initially, and then I heard multiple shots after that, which I would assume would be Secret Service snipers’ engagement, and the Secret Service tackled him so hard that Trumpâs shoes fell off,â he explains, noting that the agents holding him down were repeating, âHawkeye is here.â
While Jessie couldnât see Trumpâs face as he was seated behind him, he could make out his hand, which he tells Stu âhad blood on it.â
âThen I saw him stop and put his fist up,â he says, adding, âThen everybody started chanting ‘USA’ and cheering.â
Jessie was in the center set of bleachers behind the podium, while the far end of the bleachers to the right and the left are where attendees were hit â and tragically one lost his life.
âHow crazy is it to you that there wasnât Secret Service presence or police presence on the building where the shooter actually wound up?â Stu asks.
âOh my goodness, thatâs totally insane,â Jessie answers. âIt doesnât make sense to me at all.â
