Report: Axelrod Was Assassination Target
Updated, 11:56 a.m.
Time magazine is reporting that one of the president's top aides was the target of a racist extremist who shot and killed a guard at Washington's Holocaust Museum in '09.
According to the magazine, the shooter, James Van Brunn, who died after he was shot in the museum incident, had Obama's adviser David Axelrod as one of his targets.
Axelrod was assigned a Secret Service security detail, according to the story written by veteran journalist Barton Gellman. After the Holocaust shooting, law enforcement authorities discovered that Axelrod was a target, according to Time which writes: "The President was too hard to reach, in Von Brunn's view, but that was of no consequence. 'Obama was created by Jews,' he wrote. "Obama does what his Jew owners tell him to do."
Through an aide, Axelrod declined to comment to Hotline On Call on the alleged assassination plot.
