White guy from an extremely mormon town. Clearly this was leftist.

I guess the right wing outrage machine is going to flip back to the subway stabbing now?

If he is right wing like Trumps would be assassin, the news will treat it the same way. As in not at all, nothing to see here, passed by after a day or so and never talked about again. Granted, the one article I read that named motive said the kid did it because he was mad about the Epstein files.

But I digress. Right wing, it’ll get quiet. Left wing it’ll be about blood.

Eagerly awaiting the “he was a covert operative Republican voter, secretly a democrat!1!1!” postings a la the guy who shot at Trump

Yeah they're still insisting that the guy who murdered the Hortmans is a "democrat" despite him having right-wing signifies all over him, because he got himself onto a state panel once.

I bet they'll scour this guys history to find him saying something good about Dennis Kucinich on some forum in 2015 or something to prove that he's really an antifa sleeper agent.

Which is hilarious considering that Trump wasn't a Republican until he decided to run for office.

He funded white Democrats before Obama.

Ok I'm not saying he was a leftist but don't act like it's at all unlikely for a 22 year old leftist to live in a Mormon town lol

That's like saying there's no gay people in the deep south
