The two men who survived the assassination attempt on former President Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, are placing the blame squarely on the Secret Service. James Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 57, sat down with NBC News for an interview that aired Monday to share their experiences and the emotions they went through. Dutch said his anger overrode everything else. 'I was more mad about it than anything,' Dutch said.
The bullet that struck Dutch split his liver. He compared it to getting hit with a 'sledgehammer right in the chest.' 'I could feel my ribs were all busted up,' Dutch told NBC News.
