I wondered Why Right Wing Media Was Covering TSF Shooting So Hard

I saw hundreds of articles from right wing sources talking day after day about the assassination attempt. I wondered why?

Crooks did post on right wing site Gab. Today I saw an article from right wing Daily Mail, that is saying that Crooks may have posted a pro-Biden post on Gab.

Does anyone else see what they are trying to do? It is the left that is the violent group. It is the left that is dangerous. The Magats need that narrative pushed to counter the truth about White National Supremacists being the #1 threat to our country.

I am keeping watch to see how far this unsubstantiated Gab post goes. They are trying to make Crooks out to be a pro-Biden Democrat, if this gains traction.

if not impossible, for a 20-year-old to purchase assault rifles.

The gop has no leg to stand on. They support the carnage.

This is just a heads up.

When I go to a sporting event I wear a shirt that shows people who I support. Crooks wore that Gun humper shirt to his assassination and not enough people are talking about his shirt.

I don't need convinced that Crooks was a right wing gun humper.

besides cheating and stealing and making up shit, that's all the RWers do. They have no comprehensive outlook for the USA nor world, only the downfall.

I have a handful of news sources. In the morning freespeechtv and MSNBC at 4 PM. That is my basic source for news.

I saw a Daily Mail headline scroll across my computer screen, I never clicked on the article.

right-wing cousin. As I was taking the phone to the garden to where my wife was, her cousin started in on how the Democrats tried to kill Trump. I said you do know the young man who fired his assault rifle was a registered Republican. She said she never heard that one and laughed. I handed the phone to my wife. I can't deal with their ignorance.

The news about his party affiliation and one time donation came out the same night as the shooting.
