Last week, a liberal activist attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump while he was golfing. The activist previously posted incendiary comments on social media and lingered at Mar a Lago for 12 hours before opening fire on Trump. The Secret Service returned fire and eventually apprehended him, but questions remain about how he was able to get so close. As a former President, Trump doesn’t currently receive full Secret Service protection. And now after two assassination attempts, many are calling for this to change. There’s a high stakes election and law enforcement must do all they can to protect candidates who’s lives are threatened. As Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said when he condemned the assassination attempt, “Democracy flows from the ballot box. Not from the barrel of a gun.”
