There is nothing wrong with the POTUS not making statements that are out in front of the facts.
I thought his statement was proper and on point.

I concur. I think until he's briefed by the FBI about the shooter's possible motives, it's best to be cautious.

Biden gives a statement that I think everyone would want a president to give and we have people slamming him for not saying it was an assassination attempt before he knows all of the facts.
I think YOU should be smarter about this to be frank.

A guy was aiming for his mother in law behind the stage and missed and hit Trump’s ear? There’s literally nothing else it could be when someone fires shots at a political rally and actually hits their target, coming an inch or two from killing them.
It’s idiotic to not have said it because there’s no other option B it could have been.

for the facts? Especially in something like this.
I'll switch around and ask you, what possible motivation would Biden have for not using that language at that point? Do you think he thinks it won't be a big deal if he doesn't use that term at that very moment?
Come on.
Not to mention...what difference does it make. Now...if it's clear that the guy was trying to kill Trump, which we all assume he was and Biden has all the facts and he still wants to parse words then we can all object then.

You are right. There is nothing wrong with the president and/or the media waiting for the facts.
Problem is, they are inconsistent about when they are restrained, and when they will speculate.

with his wording of things about Trump? There was absolutely a reason he didn’t say it and it 100% was that he and his team felt it favored Trump to much to assign him victim status by stating what everyone with a brain already knew.
Maybe if he’d been careful with his words he wouldn’t still be lying about the “very fine people” story and literally saying Trump complimented Nazis. That tends to rile people up who are inclined towards assassination attempts, oops I mean political violence.

You’re going around yourass to compliment Biden for not calling a spade a spade, and it’s just strange.
Again, tell me the danger in Biden saying it looked like an assassination at that moment, when there is literally nothing else it could have been. There are no cons for him saying it but only minor pros for not saying it. You’re doing the mental gymnastics, not me.

The assassination comment was from a question and he said he had an opinion but didn't have all the facts yet.
If you want to get worked up about that, be my guess.
It's what I would have said if I was in his shoes. It's now being investigated as assassination attempt by agencies so I'm sure he would have a different answer now. I'm just calling it like I see it. I can't stand Biden, so I have no desire to credit him any more than is deserved.

There are 50 different things that firing a gun at a former President and current candidate’s head could be than an assassination attempt I guess.
Good on Biden for making sure it wasn’t one of those 50 other things that none of you can name prematurely.

Political violence is bad ok?
We don't know if my political opponent got shot at yet, with intent, trying to kill him...ya know....because we're saying he's Hitler and he's going to kill democracy. Let us get the facts, okay folks?
But political violence is bad and we need to unite. Got it?

OK, then, what other than an assisinatiin attempt could it have been?
Q: was this an assassination attempt?
JB: I don't know. I have an opinion but not the facts.
Q. What else might this have been?
JB: A bee sting. A nose bleed. A zit. A nose bleed. Where am I?

You're the one doing the gymnastics.
Biden didn't have all the facts at the time he gave his speech, and wasn't going to give opinions without the facts. He said the right thing.

Again, tell me what realistic alternate “fact” could have been revealed that would have pointed to Trump being shot in the ear as something other than an assassination attempt.
Just one alternate explanation , that’s all I’m asking for, one alternate explanation as to what firing at a target’s head and barely missing could have been besides an assassination attempt.

It’s good he did it, but that’s the expectation. Trump hates Biden, but he would do the same thing in that situation. This is something everyone should condemn, no matter which side is the victim is on.

Well of course he has to condemn it. Once of his kook voters tried to murder his opponent. Wouldn't look good for him to lament their poor aim now would it?
