A US judge on Monday apologized to the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for the “legally deficient” treatment he has faced in a Washington DC, jail, including being placed on suicide watch, separated from other inmates and denied a Bible.

The US magistrate judge Zia Faruqui said he was disturbed by the conditions for Cole Allen, who allegedly fired a shotgun during a foiled attack on Trump and senior officials in his administration at a 25 April press gala. The judge said the conditions were inappropriate for a person with no criminal history.

“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize,” Faruqui said during a court hearing.

    Yesterday I went to the Fox news website to see their version of top news. It was this story, that a judge would apologize to someone who tried to shoot our “dear” leader.

      Disinformation bubbles (Fox, OAN, Rogan, etc) and lack of critical thinking/media literacy is what got us here. Trump just pressed the accelerator but is not the driver

        Unironically Rogan is actually on my “I hope they die” list. Motherfucker platforms so many conspiracy pissants which grants them so much false credibility. Hope his conspiracy nonsense has rotted the safety side of his brain and he tossed out his C02 detectors.
