Republicans are asking why Google‘s auto-populated search terms aren’t suggesting the shooting of former President Donald Trump when users search for “attempted assassination.”
When someone goes to Google to search “assassination attempt,” despite Trump being the most recent victim of such violence, his name isn’t suggested as one of the search results. Other assassination attempts of presidents and politicians, such as President Harry S. Truman’s in 1950, are common search suggestions. Some Republicans believe Google is censoring the event.
