Despite the tragic event, where a Trump supporter lost his life and the former president narrowly escaped, there was widespread condemnation from both sides. However, there were a few individuals, like Rick Notari, a government employee in Lackawanna County, who expressed disturbing sentiments wishing that the shooter had been successful. Notari was subsequently suspended indefinitely from his position after his comments were brought to light by Libs of TikTok. Similarly, a firefighter in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, Tony Bendele, resigned after making a similar comment about the assassination attempt on Trump. Some may view the consequences faced by Notari and Bendele as examples of cancel culture, but it is important to distinguish between facing consequences for advocating violence and unjustifiable punishment for expressing disagreeable opinions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2300031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Anti-Trump-Post.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[6286,4317,5045,4595,3634],"class_list":["post-2300030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-assassination","tag-employee","tag-government","tag-suspended","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Anti-Trump-Post.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2300030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2300030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2300030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2300031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2300030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2300030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2300030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
