This past week has been a chaotic whirlwind of lies, false accusations, lurid scandals and even a foiled assassination plot.

The assassination plot that capped off the week took place on Sunday at Trump 's Palm Beach golf club where the Secret Service reportedly spotted a man with a rifle in the bushes and shot at him, setting off a chase which concluded in his arrest.

Salon 's Julian Zelizer says the GOP is trying to distract from their campaign's shortcomings.

He says they don't want the media rehashing their dismal debate performance and Laura Loomer's rumored paramour.

Zelizer: Even after the bomb threats started he tweeted out to his MAGA followers: "Don't let the crybabies in the media dissuade you".
