Wasnt the trump shooter MAGA and they shut the fuck up? How do they know the shooter here isnt a disgruntled right wing nut?
almost all the shooters were right wingers, the dem politicians, shooter was a right winger, the MSMs immediately dropped the story to avoid connecting the dots for the republicans.
The one who clipped his ear didn't seem to have much identifiable political motivation. He googled a bunch of politicians from both parties and found Trump was closest.
The one who shot at him on the golf course appears to have been motivated by the war in Ukraine, maybe?
Neither had any big democratic manifesto or anything.
I don't think we actually know the motivation of Kirk's shooter either. I think these folks are just assuming a Democrat did it because that's who they already wanted an excuse to start killing.
He was a registered republican https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Matthew_Crooks
What I said was that he didn't appear to have much identifiable political motivation for the shooting, which is largely supported by that article. The person I was replying to asked if he was MAGA, which it does not appear he was. I mean, I suppose you could assume that every registered Republican at this point must be MAGA, but I feel like the fact that this guy took a shot at Trump kind of calls that assumption into question.
Basically I don't think "he was a registered republican!" says anything more about his motivation than "he donated to a progressive get-out-the-vote program in 2021!" which was a big talking point on the right-wing news at the time. People are complicated and he wasn't disinterested in politics, but it seems like the main reason he tried to kill Trump is that he wanted there to be more political assassination attempts in general and decided to be the change he wanted to see in the world.
All Republicans are facists. Maybe it wasn’t true at one time but in my lifetime it has been the case and they’ve gotten so extreme that democrats are what republicans were in the 80s
Shooter is hired by pedophiles who did not want people to notice that GOP voted against releasing the Epstein files again yesterday. They even had NASA announce finding biomarkers on Mars that could not have been made without heat. The heat markers that would have been present for it not to be biological were not there. So they voted against releasing files, announced discovery of ancient extraterrestrial life, and possibly attacked a flotilla with the most prolific climate activist in the world, then shot a racist, misogynist, Christian nutbag to piss the right-wingers off, all to cover up the files. ...again.
Also, the day before, a young Navy chief went before congress to show a video taken from a ship. It shows a UFO flying. They had deployed a drone and fired a hellfire missile. The UFO split into 4 pieces, temporarily and slightly destabilized, and completely recovered within seconds.
Cover up 100%. Has to be. Only those rich pedos have that much power. Congressional showing UFOs resilient to missiles, then a major scientific discovery we've been trying to make for decades just so happens to occur the exact next day? Bullshit. We are being played.
100%s kirk was assasinated by trump, one of kirks most recent rants was releasing the files. also trump losing favour with russian propaganda as well.
