US: Security Scare at Donald Trump’s Rally After Assassination Attempt, Man Storms Media Area — Watch

Weeks after former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, another security breach occurred at his rally on Friday in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Police and sheriff’s deputies at the event acted swiftly and subdued the man with a Taser. As the man was being escorted away, Trump quipped, “Is there anywhere that’s more fun to be than a Trump rally?”

The incident occurred shortly after Trump criticized media outlets for “unfavorable coverage,” including CNN over his recent interview with Democratic rival Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, according to an Associated Press report.

In a video circulating on social media, the man is seen jumping over a bicycle rack around the media area to climb the platform where the press, including television reporters and cameras, were stationed. Police officers and nearby attendees pulled him off the stage before he was tasered and taken away.

Moments later, another man in the crowd was arrested and escorted out, though it remains unknown if he was detained in connection with the initial security breach.

Sharing the video of the breach, podcaster George Behizy, who was present at the rally, wrote, “A Deranged Democrat tried to breach the security at Trump’s rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and got dealt with BEAUTIFULLY by the cops.” He added, “They surrounded, and got him out of there within SECONDS!”

In July, Trump faced an apparent assassination attempt at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, leaving him injured. Several gunshots were fired, and although Trump managed to escape, he was grazed by a bullet. One attendee was killed, and two others were critically injured. The FBI later identified and arrested the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attacked from an elevated position outside the rally venue. This attack was considered one of the most serious attempts on a presidential candidate or former president since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.
