This is the best summary I could come up with:

This quote does not substantiate Collins’ claim, but instead reflects Biden’s desire to shift the national conversation away from his declining health and onto Trump’s right-wing plans if he wins.

Despite the lack of information, Collins — who’s office did not respond to a request for comment from Rolling Stone — and other Republican figures have seized on the portion of Biden’s statement referencing a “bullseye” as proof that the president ordered or tacitly endorsed an attempt on Trump’s life.

Despite the lack of information, Collins and other Republican figures have seized on the portion of Biden’s statement referencing a “bullseye” as proof that the president ordered or tacitly endorsed an attempt on Trump’s life.

The X account of the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee attempted to connect the same statement to the shooting, “Joe Biden: ‘It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.

Sean Davis, founder of the far-right publication The Federalist, suggested that “the Biden regime knew about this and either allowed it to happen… or made it happen.”

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed that the shooting was evidence of “globalists” desire to kill Trump and other prominent conservative allies and supporters.
