Security footage shows suspect breaching checkpoint at White House Correspondents' Dinner

Christopher Boffoli78

Filmed on a Fisher-Price PixelVision camera (circa 1987).

That Nice Lotion Lady - Courtney K.71

Did that dude just sprint past SS????

Soviet Space Cat59

So the suspect never fired a weapon. But was running as agents fired at him 🤔

Matt Leeds56

They Never Had To Cancel The WHCD When He Was President! Just Saying 🤔

HHOP46

Why did the Secret Security Guy step out of the running guy’s way? Why didn’t he trip or tackle him?

JoJoKC💙36

Of course he posted this!

PeriwinkleRose 💙🇺🇦36

Amazing how quick things can be released when it’s in his favor. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

Mrs. Wilberforce34

Does anyone else think it’s weird that we are being shown video and photos so soon after the event? The press conference feels too slick, too. Would everyone be this calm, and would their statements sound like they were written ahead of time?

Laura Pynn31

I may just be biased from just too much bullshit from this president, but i think he staged another assassination attempt. Just sayin

Matt Leeds30

This Feels Staged. Like The Butler, PA Shooting! Just Saying. 🤔 KKK KAROLYIN: “There Will Be Shots Fired….” Just Before Shots Are Actually Fired! Hmmm 🤔

AbolishICE26

uh the dude working the counter there literally jumped backwards out of the way. That's standard security behavior? He was also looking the wrong way lol

Kate Sometimes22

He gets off on this shit SO hard.

I’m sorry. This is all so fucking fake.

Rebecca Johnson17

I feel like the president of the US publicly posting evidence that will be important parts of an investigation and criminal charges is super weird.

Mimi16

Hahahaha! Dude was the flash!

Tooey16

Someone please take his damn phone away.

Anarchohobbyism15

Bullshit Blurry AF like that? Come on we aren’t idiots here. Most of these cameras are higher definition than a Hollywood camera

dadman03.bsky.social15

That was shockingly fast. And yet we still know nothing about the miraculously healing ear.

Christina M13

Man, they got that footage pushed out quick. Almost like they knew exactly what to watch for to get the right clip.

Brandy B.13

Ok yea. Like the Epstein jail footage? Or like some AI BS he puts out? Probably just people doing their jobs that weren't let in about the show.

groovygramma.bsky.social13

why the F would SS allow him to post that???

Scott Jordan12

If this were a real attempt, the law enforcement would not be releasing the security cam footage.

JP 🇨🇦11

Are we certain that wasn't Josh Hawley?

scouseraffa.bsky.social10

How convenient the best security you can hire all happened to be looking away at the exact moment like they where being told in ear pieces. No security on doors, no security on stairs, just stood conveniently for an actor to run through lol.

David10

The real question is. What drug is Kash on tonight?

BrandGuy9

What does this prove? Your SS is terrible. Like really bad. How could he even get that far? Did he run by BEFORE guns were drawn? Is there no pre-screen before that point? Shouldn't one have to show their ticket before this part of security?

Mr.Dale8

A Ring doorbell camera has a thousand times better quality than this crap

MJ8

He ran through security. Lame

Joanna8

The whole thing, a tissue of lies and performance.

ANGEL - BadAss Resister7

Will someone please get him off of TV. He's so full of shit. It's sickening that anyone voted for the POS!

Viva Cascadia!7

Staged. He will be lobbying for an Emmy for best direction of a dramatic series

Jen-of-Λrc7

Damn… that was a suicide mission. I cannot believe he was able to run through all of those security/ secret service agents. He’s lucky to be alive. Or is he? I don’t want to feed into the conspiracy of this being staged, but man…

LucilleBluth1.57

Why is there an SS officer already crouched down in the corner who gets up once the runner goes past him?

SupremeWitchZara7

HOW DO WE KNOW THIS ISNT A.I?

Pamela in CA7

WTF is he posting this?

mckeme.bsky.social7

This press conference is absolutely pathetic!

Mel MCXIV ♿️🏴‍☠️🇺🇸😈✊️🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺6

So Trump is the boy who cried wolf, except the wolf is really the phrase "they're trying to kill me!" We won't believe it even if JD is sworn in

msdavinci.bsky.social6

Why is secret service so bad at this? They couldn’t keep a gun out of that room? They couldn’t control that small space? trump promoted this guy to lead the secret service, you’d think he’d know not to hold the presidents head up for more after someone apparently tried to shoot him.

Jim Horrigan. Him/ he6

Was that video faster than normal? A couple of those guys could have tackled him as he ran by. All those doors unprotected while security bunch up. Who is surprised that the subject of the ballroom came up on the press release?

traceynkoda.bsky.social6

Looks sloppy to me. His approval ratings are ⬇️. Hmmm.

dalek-trekkie.bsky.social6

So he ran straight through security with absolutely no resistance and then managed to fire shots and NOT get shot himself? Eho the actual fuck is believing a second of this bullshit?

bummyboston.bsky.social6

Wish they released the Epstein Files as fast and unedited.

Angry Bird Lady6

This is all so suspicious

Hurley6

Remarkable how quickly he had that video to post.

Dreamland63 🏳️‍🌈6

If Trump posted it than you know it’s real.

detoxthegop.bsky.social5

The security is there to check ppl coming in. The hall way is kind of long with clear site to the check point. AND, at least FOUR (4) security ppl manning the line ALL DISTRACTED? Guy is coming at a sprint to the line & none tackled him? REALLY? This food for the MAGA brain?

singerindy.bsky.social5

Seems like releasing security information? 🤔

Lexx Moya5

Some got an up close picture, a name and the hotel video feed that fast. Come on. This is extremely fishy

fritzzey13.bsky.social5

So Trump is releasing supposed evidence? At least the media won’t have to FOIA it.

Che che5

So they just let him run right past them?🤣

Dr. E5

So it’s their job now to jump out of the way and shoot someone in the back instead of tackling them?

🦋 Aldamar 🦋 📎🇺🇸🇩🇰🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽5

None of them seemed to be in a prepared state. Seems like they were taken by surprise…unless they’re great actors.

War Sucks.4

They all literally moved out of the way in this frame. Looks weak.

simplykimmie.bsky.social4

Dumb question , why was every " top dog " there ? and then say that they going to hold it again ?????

Annmarie4

Is this his press conference? Wtf is he doing???

Mortski4

Why is there color in a black and white video?

Ungovernable Records4

Apparently all official communications can only be done through a privately owned social media site privately owned by the Mad King

The Viceroy of Colorado4

I'm 56 years old with 2 bum knees and I could have done a better job than those clowns.

Oncle Jef4

Nice to see all these clowns get out of the way, only to freeze in place with guns drawn before anyone actually go after him. "You go first"...

Tim4

He already has a cut of the video to post?

BlueSparkler4

I like presidents that don’t post a play-by-play - like it’s entertainment. 🥴🙄

theadjuster99.bsky.social4

All the correspondence and presenters should do their scripted speeches and routines tomorrow or maybe Tuesday so that all the comedy and roasts can be publicized. So tRump gets to see what all the presenter were going to say about him. In the spirit of good will and moving on and all.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

PeriwinkleRose 💙🇺🇦4

Did the “shooter” actually get a shot off or were the shots heard from LEO?

OK Brownie4

How does this guy get security footage tweeted while it’s still an active crime scene? As if…the threat was not real

Moira Rayner4

I don’t believe a word of these rehearsed “reports” from men who weren’t there in person. Not ONE of them

Hunter4

He had clothes on when he streaked past them. Now he’s cuffed, possibly naked, considering they have his lower portion covered in what appears to be a foil blanket.

770yd.bsky.social4

Notice the only people that actually had muzzle discipline when other people crossed their path was the Secret Service. The police are fucking clueless and it’s why they tend to shoot each other or innocent people more often than any other type of LEO or military.

Ah Sierra4

This evening and the chaos that ensued, was fairly predictable. The whole thing is BIZARRO. Trump and CBS touting the 1st Amendment while attacking media as the Enemy of the People.

Living Out Loud4

Looks like they all just backed away and watched him run through. Why did no one run after him?

Kitten3

so either they are so incompetant they cant stop a dude running or its staged. either way this isnt helping him like he thinks it might

Bearcats Grad3

Those California folks are very fast.

Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot3

That was one fast runner.

Maedarakat3

This has to be AI. Makes no sense. Why is the shooter wearing so little?!

Salty Smirk 😏3

My outdoor cameras take way better videos than whatever this 💩is. So crazy.

Rioter883

Fake as hell. What a joke. All cause he didn’t wanna be made fun of

jlern.bsky.social3

I couldn't tell. Did the perpetrator even get a shot off, or were all the shots from the security team?

bmix88.bsky.social3

So they're AGAIN posting material from an on-going investigation?

Liberal Amigo 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇲🇽🌮3

DC is not a safe place to be

Sloane Peterson3

Did his shirt fly off

qj2017.bsky.social3

And he has it why?

Our Lady of Perpetual Disappointment3

I only diagrammed 2 LEO and the runner. Who was guarding the door behind yellow?

AbolishICE3

This is why this shit is terrifying www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Scott B3

All those guns, 2 checkpoints, and extremely well trained agents, and only 1 person was hit.....an agent. I call fresh steaming bullshit

Ami Cristo3

They still have cameras from the 80s? My cheap ass Blink camera takes better video.

Just Dee3

That’s some pretty bad security. I’ve gone through more security to get on a cruise ship.

The Line….3

How the fuck he got through all that security with a burner! He is a conned man!

Hurley3

That guy up front that was really lollygagging and couldn’t seem to figure out how to get his gun out the holster

athletics12345.bsky.social3

Wow... already posting security footage. 🐟

schwanderer.bsky.social3

They look bored and inattentive.

SS agent shot was probably shot by another agent

vickithebest.bsky.social3

So why were the security people praised? Seems like a 90 percent fail to me

Joy2

There are more "tells" on this thread. bsky.app/profile/joys...

James2

Well that's debunked all that in the line of fire bollox we've been fed from all these films over the years.

mcades.bsky.social2

Isn't the instinctive response to someone running through supposed to be to tackle the guy?

Who has all the money?2

I see several people who should be fired. Were these guys trained by the New York football Giants? Ever hear of a tackle?

Jeff V Sr.2

Oh. BTW. A guy just ran past us towards the POTUS. 🥱

Hal Carver2

How is all of this stuff coming out so quickly if it was not pre-arranged? This is like “catching” Lee Harvey within 24 hours of the shooting back in 63.

Carrie (Not The Prom Queen)2

Me just casually waiting for my date who is 10 minutes late to our scheduled time.

Quatrain Gleam2

That man does not appear to be armed, and while a pistol could be concealed, he has no long gun as alleged.

Sharon 🫶🏻💙🦋🍿🐸🚫👑2

I heard chimes not gun fire

indigoskycat.bsky.social2

What happened to his shirt? He ran so fast it flew off?

🐸🖕🐸 Heartless Creatures2

Blanche: LE did what they were supposed to do.

Tumbleweed2

Doesn't look like a very alert security detail - he just ran through and how many of them just standing around? Almost as if they were expecting him.

Petal Lu Ⓥ 💚🌱💙🌎2

This happens right when there is a ton of his supporters questioning the Butler shooting

stepuppeeps.bsky.social2

Staged, the guy stepped forward with precision

Di2

Posting stuff that could affect his trial. Really Donald?

Suzanne Lynn2

He got that (conveniently) fast

Squat Erry Day6

Honestly reevaluating the efficacy of Naruto running

Chris Doyon4

Look at my security, dawg

alex3

We remember Martyr Leeroy on April 25 ☦️

Shatter 🅅 𓅃⭐3

If he didnt yell yolo I'll be pissed.

Slim46

Looks like he picked up enough yards for a 1st down.

Soviet Space Cat39

So the "suspect" runs by and the only shots fired are by the agents. 🤔

TheValuesVoter28

Weird how he had all this stuff ready to go with little notice.

TYBD #AEW 🤼‍♂️25

He got the video pretty quick. Staged much?

Saskia24

I think the attempt was a success. Very polite of the agent to move out of the way.

Brian Hill23

Wait though - when they're shooting at him after he runs by, aren't they shooting TOWARDS the conference room?

Rebecca Johnson23

Dude ran past like 17 cops and not one saw him coming or tried to stop his forward progress.

David Marx22

Am I crazy or is sharing this a national security risk? He's advertising the secret services response time to this scenario.

torgman.bsky.social15

Trump: That was very unexpected. Narrator: it was expected.

Atlas Mugged (N95 Wearer 😷)✊🏿🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️11

Wait a minute: so whose gunshots triggered this whole thing? It looks to me like the dude was just running to make a mad dash for reasons we don't know, and it was the agents who did the shooting. He could have been a protester trying to get in to speak against the regime.

Adeel Khamisa 🇨🇦10

Gloried turnstyle jumper just cleared through secret service...

Brian Hill8

The phrase 'Ballroom Blitz' is right there for the headline editor couragious enough to reach for it.

koshkakitty55.bsky.social6

Sure this is legit ... & they already have info abt the "suspect) ... already talking abt how he needs the more security at the WH

Clumsy Ninja 📚5

Why are they all so incompetent?

Franken Phil5

Naruto running at the President.

sunny 🌻5

This man makes the country and world so fucking unserious why is a world leader posting evidence on his own personal Twitter site like its a true crime youtuber breaking down something

Joe Perry 4

Security were all looking the other way when a guy comes running like a sprinter toward the room where the president was? Maybe ... block him instead of stepping back in surprise?

MevsMe 💜💜💜💜3

Trump live for social media & drama.. He’s already releasing mess doing an investigation.. See how fake this shhh is..

TD3

Why is this lunatic our president

uprightsquire.bsky.social2

When a Scientology speedrun isnt cutting it on socials

ireidani.bsky.social2

There's a reason people are skeptical of the "assassination attempt" at same dinner the president famously was caught planning a "mic drop" moment for.

sassyt1274.bsky.social2

He got passed that many armed personnel?

Dr Nana2

CVS has better security cameras. Also curious why the agents on camera pull their weapons and hang back before moving forward? Where are the metal detectors? And most important, how is his ear?

@Stacy’s Mom2

Another fake attempt, get out the ketchup. He wants to be remembered as a martyr.

what2

Does the agent in the center fire his gun as he pulls it from his holster? lol

Thom13

What we DON’T see is this guy shooting his weapons. So how did that agent get shot?

Caregiver To Vet11

I see what’s happening but what I don’t get is how this regime is calling thus an assassination attempt when cabinet members & the ultra rich along with other high profile figures! Don’t believe the hype cause it’s just strange that this keeps happening to one individual!

coconutlizard.bsky.social8

Huh? How did that happen? Just like the guy on the roof for hours and no one thought there was a danger. Come on?

🤘Miami Nice7

is anyone else lauging at this or is it just me?

A Chicks Opinion5

It is evident that a SECURE WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM is absolutely needed. So many could have been killed tonight. Build the damn ballroom asap!

countmoshington4

Did the security guard at the bottom of the screen shoot the one who seems to jump back as the attacker ran through their check point?

billieholliday13.bsky.social3

this is where you see compliancy and poor planning. Where is the barrier/ the agent responded late imho--the guy skate thru the last barrier of security.

Mimiwills3

I’m surprised there was only one guy. Massive unemployment, high gas prices, active war, mass ethnic cleansing, high inflation, and an incompetent administration in a country full of more guns than people is a recipe for disaster. I don’t even wanna think about the summertime.

Kristen Lowery3

This looks like lack of security paying attention not lack of a White House ballroom.

Maria ✨️2

So the one person was cauht in Friendly fire? They were sure to yell out afterwards to watch for crossfire. Video is worse than my home security system quality. This only furthers my belief it was all staged.

elruben.bsky.social2

The reaction time by the police phenomenal. As phenomenal as the Uvalde police sheriff DPS departments reaction times. You first, no you, you no you 🙄🧐

hughtube.bsky.social2

So the suspect don't shoot a weapon? The only shots fired were from security personell?

the disenchanted pony7

Why in the hell did he have multiple knives, did he think he was gonna sit down for a big steak dinner afterwards?

Erin6

🤔... falling poll numbers. Time for a fake assassination "attempt". Now I know why he accepted the invitation.

The Raccoon Overlord3

And Stephen Miller used his pregnant wife as a human shield....

All Cattes Are Best Cattes3

Oh and also he had a for real lightsaber and the BFG 9000

sgarizona.bsky.social3

The shooting was in the lobby of the hotel.

Pope WonKa the Ever Living2

but was the Suspect on the Epstein List?

Querdcast15

suspect in custody. the only verified shots fired were from secret service

Soviet Space Cat14

Is he a gunmen if he seemingly never fired a weapon. No visual of a weapons on him. And the only shots fired on video were by agents blindly firing towards a crowded room. It sounds like a friendly fire, and idk how you can criminally charge this guy with this footage.

Luckmann20089

No one belives that this was real. It seems like Trump is now kicking off every campaign with an assassination attempt 🙄 Given his political legacy, that’s hardly surprising.

Elizabeth Pearce7

After the third time it’s not that isolated, guy.

klmarchel.bsky.social7

Not a huge conspiracy person at all.. but does anyone else think that once again This “assassination “ attempt is very convenient? Especially since Trump has refused to attend any White House Correspondents Dinner…????

Soviet Space Cat5

But no video or visual of the "suspect" carrying a weapon, or even discharging a weapon. So what was the crime? The only shooters on video are agents firing at a crowded hallway and room.

Vincenzo3

There is no way they can know that for sure.

Noelle Schultz3

How can they possibly know that yet?

Seth L, a Wisconsin resident3

Was the shooter mentioned in the Epstein Files?

Richard3

I would have much preferred the headlines to have read .., “President Trump in custody, gunman safe”

Dave3

Glad everyone is safe. But no one should have ever been in any danger, because no one should have attended in the first place.

DonnaHackemackBryant3

Is this another ear cartilage kinda incident?

RGS Pol2

They say the third time is the charm.

Don Confitero 🇬🇱2

Any terrorist attack against Trump that is unsuccessful seems routine and uninteresting to me.

Trump is in the Epstein Files2

A guest at the hotel… you don’t say. Kinda thought it would have been more secure than to allow guests to roam around.

John Bentley2

No it's not isolated, it's happened before

Rod Green7

Tell me it was all staged without telling me it was all staged…

Oblio5

Convenient how they already have hotel footage queued up and ready to launch!

Negative Utilitarian5

Guy just ran through like

LL2

He Has time to post that? What a clown

LouFromBoston2

With all that is going on, why was it so easy for this guy to get as far as he did?

ControversyCow2

I liked it better the 1st time I saw it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLyO...

Darr2472

The hall was wide open for 5 guys to get through while everyone in security was watching the guy who ran by.

Wake us when he's dead
