As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump was nearly assassinated Saturday night during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a 20-year-old Democrat donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Subsequent reports have revealed the numerous avoidable failures by the Secret Service to protect Trump and take out the gunman. Humiliating footage of petite females struggling to cover the 45th president and escort him out of harm’s way has also emerged.

Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), a former Army sniper and member of the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command, was a guest Tuesday morning on CNN to discuss the aftermath of the assassination attempt and the security failures involved. But he ended up angering host Kate Bolduan when he dared to suggest the possibility that the whole incident was a set-up to get Trump killed.

Mills explained how everything about the incident made no sense. CNN anchor Kate Bolduan was visibly stunned and desperately tried to combat Mills' statements. Mills made it *very* clear that he was simply examining all options for what may have happened. Let me say that again: Mills made it very clear that he was not asserting the incident was a setup but said it should be considered during an investigation. Cory Mills served in the U.S. Army as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division and Joint Special Operations Command.

MILLS: You know, it almost seems to me, I think that the investigation is necessary at this point within Congress, not just the FBI, not just others,” said Mills. “You know, I look back at — I’m thinking all right, you know, for an individual, if you looked at the escalations and how they are trying to approach him. Let’s just say that it was like, okay, first we want to censor and silence you, then we want to indict and imprison you, now we are attempting to kill you…

BOLDUAN (annoyed): Whoa whoa whoa, let’s slow down! I’m hearing two things from you: I don’t want to jump ahead of things, but I’m also hearing you jumping ahead of things.

MILLS: Well, actually, I’m just looking at all the different possible capabilities. One of the things as a military member … one of the things as a person who has run in the special operations communities before, one of the people who’s actually done this is that you look at all the potential analysis, right?

BOLDUAN: Dial it back. Do not blame this on Joe Biden.

MILLS: Well, actually, I didn’t say Joe Biden.

BOLDUAN: Who’s the ‘they,’ then? Let’s be very specific.

MILLS: That’s what the investigation has to do. Was it local law enforcement that made the mistakes, or was there something to it? Were there other types of things that we need to be analyzing or looking at, providing analysis?

My point is when something so significant, that hasn’t happened in decades…My point is this: from someone who has actually conducted these (operations), these are not difficult advances…This is about looking at your surroundings; what are the actual elements that I need to be looking at in terms of mitigating threats…

BOLDUAN: So you are saying this is so basic, that how big this screw-up was, that’s what leading your brain down this road?

MILLS: That’s exactly right…

BOLDUAN: But Congressman, Tom Emmer was just on. He said to me it is too early to talk about who is at fault here…
