Social Media Users Urge Reagan's Shooter to Target Trump, Secret Service Responds
Following Trump's election victory, disturbing assassination requests directed at John Hinckley Jr. have surfaced online, prompting Secret Service attention.
- John Hinckley Jr., known for his 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, is receiving troubling requests on social media to target President-elect Donald Trump.
- These requests emerged shortly after Trump won the 2024 presidential election, with users on the platform X encouraging Hinckley to act.
- The Secret Service is aware of the online posts but has not publicly commented on its protective measures.
- Trump, who has already faced two assassination attempts this year, previously criticized Hinckley's release from a psychiatric institution in 2016.
- Hinckley, now promoting his music online, has publicly denounced violence, urging for peace instead.
