“He was not directed at the press,” Zeto said of Trump’s emotional supporters who turned to confront the media when Trump was out of view. “It has been directed to the cameras, allowing the country to know that this is unacceptable, and our country is in danger, and we need to be strong about it.”

Zito, who built her career in telling real stories from Hartland, said that she had spoken to Trump’s supporters who could be shouting in the camera in the video that was played all over the world.

Fox News confirmed before the first anniversary of the assassination in Trump’s first attempts that six agents of the secret service were suspended without pay after Thomas Matthew Crocs, 20, opened fire in Trump during a gathering in western Pennsylvania last summer.

Supervisors and agents were suspended at the line level in February, and ranged from 10 to 42 days without pay.

Speaking to Fox News Digital after initial reports on the commentary’s comment, Zito said he was “well justified” for those who make logistical decisions.

Zito said: “I will say unambiguously that the men and women who took care of President Trump on that day, who were in its details and in that temporary store, were at the top of everything.” “These men and women were taking their functions properly when they put themselves in the fire line.”

Zito, who refused to go down when I heard the shots for the first time, said Trump was “surrounded by a sea of blue.”

Zito said: “They put him in a preventive position, and put their lives at stake,” Zeto said. “Nothing should be taken away from that courage at that moment. These field officers were heroes that day.”

“People left there greatly. There was no rush. There was no stampede. I saw the paramedics took care of the people who fell [or] They were injured. “But you often saw people out of each other and across the field,” Zito explained.

Zito said it was “amazing” to see “How organized people left.” An hour later, when she returned to the large parking square, they did not allow the car, so there were thousands of Trump supporters gathered together.

Zito said: “These people are outside their cars, and they share the water, and they embrace each other, and they make sure they are fine, and they share food. They are only talking. I really shocked their assembly at that moment.”
