What Trump Supporters Are Saying After Assassination Attempt

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Just down the street from Mar-a-Lago, supporters of former President Donald Trump gathered Sunday night with flags in hand and anger on their minds after a new assassination attempt against the former president.

When WPTV reporter Michael Hoffman arrived, he saw a large motorcade leaving Mar-a-Lago and heading back toward town. WPTV is working to find out who it was and if it was the former president.

The group of supporters near Mar-a-Lago said they waved flags every Sunday in support of Trump.

They tell Hoffman they were there when it all happened Sunday afternoon, adding that Secret Service personnel they see every weekend told them to pack up and leave.

“Everybody had to move,” said Jestin Nevarez, a Trump supporter. “They blocked the parking lot, ended up blocking the bridge, the whole Southern Boulevard. It was pretty chaotic for a while. It’s still scary to see the bullets flying around the president.”

There was a heavy police presence around the bridge leading to Mar-a-Lago on Sunday evening.
