In the latest example of Big Tech censorship against former President Donald Trump, Google’s search engine, the #1 most-visited website in the world, has been called out for blatantly censoring autocomplete suggestions related to the assassination attempt against the former president.
As Breitbart reports, any effort to type in “assassination attempt” in the search bar will instead yield autocomplete suggestions such as “Truman,” “Reagan,” “Bob Marley,” “Teddy Roosevelt,” and “John Paul II,” amongst others. If “assassination attempt trum” is typed in, the only autocomplete suggestions that are given are all related to Harry Truman. Once “assassination attempt Trump” is typed in, no autocomplete suggestions appear at all.
Screenshots of these very results were shared across social media, resulting in widespread mockery and backlash against Google for censoring the first assassination attempt against a president or former president in over 40 years. President Trump narrowly survived the attempt on his life on July 13th, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a sniper’s bullet grazed his right ear. Subsequent shots rang out, killing one rallygoer and injuring two others as Secret Service agents surrounded the former president. The 20-year-old gunman was then killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper.
In a moment that has since been labeled as iconic, captured in numerous photographs seen across the world, President Trump then rose to his feet and, with blood on his face and a large American flag in the background, raised a triumphant fist to the crowd, drawing thunderous applause as he was escorted offstage to safety.
But the mainstream media has been trying to censor and downplay the historic moment from the very beginning. Several media outlets, including CNN, initially reported the incident as President Trump simply “falling” onstage, rather than being shot at. Subsequently, outlets like Newsweek have falsely claimed that President Trump was struck by shrapnel rather than an actual bullet, despite photographic evidence capturing the moment that the bullet could be seen streaking by his head.
The images of President Trump raising a fist in the immediate aftermath of the attempt have gone viral, and resulted in his poll numbers rising even higher. He recounted the harrowing attempt for the first time during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, vowing that he would never tell the story again since it was “too painful” to think about in such detail.
