MONITORING (SW) – A man arrested at a security checkpoint near Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s California rally faces gun charges after he was found in possession of two guns and a high-capacity magazine, authorities said.
The 49-year-old man, a resident of Las Vegas, was stopped in a black SUV by deputies from the Riverside County sheriff’s office local time and taken into custody without incident, according to the sheriff’s office, reported Reuters.
“The incident did not impact the safety of former president Trump or attendees of the event,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
Donald Trump issued a sinister election-related threat to “radical” leftists on Sunday, saying he could support US military force against Americans he described as “the enemy within” if they disrupt the vote next month.
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy within, not even the people that have come in and destroyed our country,” the Republican presidential candidate told Fox News show, Sunday Morning Futures, referring to American citizens as opposed to migrants he criticizes for flooding the country.
Donald Trump claimed in his remarks that fellow Americans are “more dangerous than China, Russia and all these countries”. The campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris swiftly pushed back on the Republican’s extraordinary remarks.
Kamala Harris and rival Donald Trump campaigned in critical battleground states on Sunday, seeking 11th-hour advantages in a deadlocked White House race, as new polling shows the vice president underperforming among some traditional Democratic voter demographics.
Harris was in North Carolina, a state hard-hit by a hurricane two weeks ago that devastated several communities and left more than 235 people dead across the US Southeast, as she seeks to counter Trump’s claims that federal agencies have done little to help storm victims.
On July 13, 2024, at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, Matthew Crooks shot at Trump with an AR-15–style rifle from a nearby rooftop as Trump gave a campaign speech. Crooks hit Trump’s ear with a shot and killed one attendee while critically injuring two others before Crooks was killed by Secret Service counter-sniper agents.
