This happened during Truman’s administration, too. Assailants were killed dead. I wonder how many antifas and blms got offed, and are beyond Barr’s jurisdiction. Let’s hope it’s a big tally.

I believe the four assailants who fired at The White House were Puerto Rican nationalists. Truman happened to be in Blair House at the time. I think that's usually where the First Family stays, most of the time anyway.

You've misremembered the event. The four PRs shot up the House in 1954.

There were two Puerto Rican nationalists that attempted to assassinate President Truman at the Blair house across the street from the White House which was undergoing extensive repairs.

The Hunter and Bainbridge book is a fascinating read. The gunmen started shooting at the police guard station in front of the Blair House. Truman heard the gun shots, looked out the window and started storming down the stairs angry as hell and ready to counterattack....stopped only by the remaining SS agent in the Blair House.
