One of them, Jenna Howell of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), complained on Facebook using a meme that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old Pennsylvania Republican who reportedly tried to assassinate Trump at a rally in Butler, Penn., failed to strike the former president's head rather than just his upper ear.
"Awwww so close," reads a meme shared by Howell depicting the grim reaper playing an arcade game in which a claw drops a toy made in the image of Trump – see below:
Howell works in the FBI's NICS firearms background check unit, by the way. She holds top secret clearance and is an outspoken opponent of the Second Amendment.
A product of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System that Howell helps manage was named after James Brady, who was wounded in an assassination attempt on the late former President Ronald Reagan.
"Jenna is a typical 'pro-Palestine,' rabid 'LGBTQIA+ ally' and hater of conservatives across the board," tweeted podcaster and "recovering FBI agent" turned whistleblower Kyle Seraphin.
"She is confrontational and insulting to veterans with total impunity. The FBI culture encourages and empowers these low level Leftists."
Jenna Howell, an @FBI employee who works in the NICS firearms background check unit, posted her disappointment @realDonaldTrump survived an assassination attempt. Jenna has a Top Secret clearance.
This is a typical #FBI support employee. And she hates gun owners.

(Related: Just a few days before Crooks shot at Trump, actress and "professional lesbian" Lea DeLaria, 66, posted a video of herself on Instagram calling for Joe Biden to assassinate Trump using the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling as cover.)
Not to be outdone by Howell was Jacqueline Marsaw, staffer of Congressman Benny Thompson (D-Miss.) who basically tweeted that someone else should pick up where Crooks left off and actually hit target Trump the next time around.
"I don't condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time ooops [sic] that wasn't me talking," Marsaw tweeted with full unprofessionalism.
Responding to Marsaw's tweet, Newt Gingrich called for her immediate firing, especially after it was revealed that she introduced the very resolution that cut off Secret Service protection for Trump back in April.

"With staff like this, the poison is deep, Gingrich wrote.
Joe Biden technically called for the very same thing on July 8, 2024, when he tweeted that he and America are "done talking about the debate" because "it's time to put Trump in a bullseye."
"Defend that. Go ahead," responded Joe Concha about Biden's call to assassinate Trump. "Try to defend that rhetoric after what we all just witnessed with Trump coming with [sic] a centimeter of being assassinated."
CNN's Jake Tapper was quick to defend Biden's call for Trump to be assassinated, claiming that "there is no proof that such rhetoric caused this shooting." Keep in mind that Tapper once blamed Sarah Palin for causing the shooting of Gabby Giffords.
"Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation," Biden also tweeted back on June 28, 2024. "He's a threat to our freedom. He's a threat to our democracy. He's literally a threat to everything America stands for."
Denver lawmaker Rep. Steven Woodrow (D-Colo.) tweeted in the immediate aftermath of the shooting at the Trump rally in Butler, Penn., that "The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are," the "devil," in this context, referring to Trump.
Woodrow later apologized for the comment after public outcry backed him into a corner.
"We must always resolve our differences peacefully at the ballot box – not through violence," Woodrow said in a carefully crafted statement. "I know people are hurting, and (I) apologize that my words caused additional pain."
The following nine Democrat members of the House of Representatives, many of them from the Black Caucus, sponsored House Resolution 8081 to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection – this before his recent rally in Butler:
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.)
Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.)
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Fla.)
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.)
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.)
Rep. Bonnie Coleman (D-N.J.)
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tex.)
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio)
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.)
"Anyone in a position of public service making comments like that has no place in government," wrote "MAG2A us" (@armsparts2) on X about all these political calls for Trump to be assassinated.
"Thompson's actions and his staffer's words show a dangerous level of disrespect and hostility. She should be fired immediately, and there needs to be a thorough investigation into this toxic behavior."
Another wrote concerning Jenna Howell's comments that Beth Ann Coyne, the woman she worked for, "should have a talk with Jenna about the Hatch Act covering on-duty Facebook posts."
"Seems like her clearance should be suspended while they get to the bottom of it."
"I wonder if we had the forethought to grab some choice screenshots of Jenna Howell's FB page before sharing it here? Kyle Seraphin wrote. "That would be a heads-up move."
