Police “probably” thwarted a potential third assassination plot against former President Donald Trump, a Sheriff has claimed.
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco spoke during a press briefing tonight and became visibly defensive when probed about the veracity of an earlier depiction of the Saturday Coachella rally incident as “dramatic.”
Bianco confirmed that 49 year old Vem Miller was intercepted at the innermost security checkpoint of the rally, driving a vehicle with counterfeit number plates.
Upon further inspection, officers uncovered a loaded shotgun, a loaded handgun, and numerous fake identities in Miller’s possession, reports the Express US.
“He showed up with multiple passports with different names, an unregistered vehicle with fake license plate and loaded firearms,” Bianco asserted in response to suggestions that his initial account may have been overstated.
He went on to underscore the gravity of the situation, adding: “If you are asking me right now, I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt.
“If we are that politically lost that we have lost sight of common sense and reality and reason that we can’t say ‘Holy crap, what did he show up with all that stuff for? And loaded guns?’
“And I’m going to be accused of being dramatic. We have a serious, serious problem in this country because this is common sense and reason. I saw some of you there yesterday – you didn’t have guns and fake IDs.”
