September the Sixth
\
On Sept. 6, 1901, President William B. McKinley was shot and mortally wounded by anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. Czolgosz approached McKinley, who had been standing in a receiving line inside the Temple of Music, greeting the public for ten minutes.
At 4:07 P.M., Czolgosz reached the front of the line. McKinley extended his hand. Czolgosz slapped it aside and shot the President in the abdomen twice, at point-blank range: the first bullet ricocheted and lodged in McKinley's jacket; the other seriously wounded him. McKinley died eight days later of an infection which had spread from that wound.
Who shot and mortally wounded President William B. McKinley on this day in 1901?
McKinley, whose assassination allowed Progressive Teddy Roosevelt to assume the presidency, was one of the number of Presidents murdered by believers in every political permutation.....other than conservative beliefs.
All the assassins have been Liberal- or has not been associated with a political outlook- none were right-wingers.
Anarchist Leon Czolgosz, case in point.
Violence is the language of the Left.
