Summary

A 31-year-old with a shotgun, a pistol, and a stack of knives tried to assassinate Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. A Secret Service agent took a round to the vest. Wolf Blitzer lost a shoe. And UFC's Dana White called it "awesome." Paul Rieckhoff — combat veteran, IAVA founder, 9/11 first responder and past attendee of the event — flies solo on this Manosphere Monday to put the attack in context: this is our normal now, and the president most responsible for the atmosphere is the same one weaponizing it against the press. And, he takes you inside what the event (and the security) are really like.
