“When I entered, my (security) detail dropped me off, and a Secret Service agent was kind enough to bring me down to the red carpet event, but there's no metal detectors or anything just to get into the hotel,” Rep. Abe Hamadeh, R-Arizona, recalled. “I mean, this is still a public space that serves as a hotel as well. And obviously the suspect exploited that.
“The perimeter needs to be bigger,” Hamadeh added. “I think, from a security person point of view, it needs to be bigger. The ballroom should not have been the first point of metal detectors. When you have that many dignitaries at the red carpet, you know they could have been killed. They could have done so much damage. Maybe not to the president, but to his entire administration.”
The security establishment has promised and made better security arrangements after the two prior attempts on Trump’s life in 2024 in Butler, Pa., and West Palm Beach, Fla., the assassination of Charlie Kirk at an open-air Utah college campus in 2025, or the wounding of congressman practicing baseball at a suburban Washington field all the way back 2017.
Those events – along with the BLM riots in summer 2020, the Antifa attacks on immigration agents, the execution of the United Health Care CEO and the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh near his personal home – have something more in common than just the exploitation of current security postures.
Read a list of all the left-inspired acts of recent political violence here.
They all, according to publicly released evidence, involved perpetrators influenced by a vast left-wing machinery that bombards social media, community protests and even establishment television with an unrelenting message of hatred and intolerance that can dehumanize the targets of violence and motivate armed actors to action, experts said.
That machinery ranges from nonprofits like the Southern Poverty Law Center, which actually paid racist actors in the name of fighting extremism, to the organizers of the No Kings protests who unleashed hundreds of thousands of old and young protesters onto the streets on the false notion that America has somehow become a monarchy under Trump.
In between, elitists and teachers have infused the nation with claims that America’s history is racist and unrighteous and that young Americans are predestined to fates determined as oppressors or the oppressed based on their skin color. And well-funded nonprofits consorting with America’s enemies in China and Cuba are openly fomenting a color revolution in hopes of securing a Marxist future on U.S. soil.
Allen appears to have been influenced by some of that ideology, as well as Democrats’ incessant but unfounded claims that Trump was involved in the late Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking.
The manifesto police said Allen wrote suggested he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” and that he subscribed to the Marxist paradigm of critical race theory that divides people into oppressors and the oppressed.
"Turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes,” Allen purportedly wrote.
For sure, there are agitators on the right, as well: those who foment antisemitism, racism or conspiracy theories among them. But the scope and scale of the left’s intolerance machine and its funding, which reaches into the hundreds of millions of dollars, dwarfs the right, leading some to see a professional Hate, Inc. being forged on the political left.
