      Republicans may get pity elected then. No martyrs, thanks. I really actually hope no one got hurt

      I think he fell down and hit his ear on something like the podium.

        I was skeptical but in the photos there’s no injury to the side of his head. Just seems incredibly unlikely that a bullet would clip his ear and hit nothing else whatsoever. So yeah, an injury falling does seem kinda likely.

        That was my first thought, hit up that ‘other’ site and saw a video on /r/interstingasfuck and it looks like he grabbed his ear immediately after first two(?) shots so I think he was actually grazed.

      At least? If this turns out to be real, the photo alone will hand him the election.
