    But but he was Registered as a Republican. That just can’t be. Liberals never make threats or kill anyone. They are such good people. They are Vegans.

    I’m guessing if he was paying money to Democrats, law enforcement is probably going to find some evidence that he was sympathetic to their cause, to say the very least. Not sure why so many are making a big deal about his registration. He could have registered two years ago and been radicalized since then. His party registration means almost nothing.

    He gave $15 so some democrat aligned PAC when he was like 16 or 17 and wasn't even old enough to vote ... then grew a mullet, registered as a republican, and started supporting gun nut websites...

    Desperate attempt to get attention from the OP.

    We don’t know much about the shooter other than he was 20, seemed to like guns, apparently has a father who is a licensed mental health counselor, may have been a registered republican, and may have given $15 once when he was 17 to a group that used actblue. There are so many fake things going around it’s best to wait for the police to release some stuff.

    Well, the guy is likely a head case so there’s some degree of difficulty rationalizing his decisions and behavior.

    Agree with that. But I think political donations say a lot more than party registration.

    And if he was a Registered Democrat who had donated to a Republican group, you would think the reverse.

    If he donated once then categorizing it as multiple times is disingenuous wouldn’t you agree?

    How many posts are you liberals defending Democrats for making threatening comments and downplaying the comments?

    I don't think I have defended a single threatening comment. How many times have you come here to condemn threatening comments made by Trump himself (no need to even expand it)?

    Trump never said put someone in a bullseye of said they need to be eliminated. Trump never said an official act is an assassination attempt.

    ”President Trump on Thursday retweeted a video of a supporter saying that the "only good Democrat is a dead Democrat." The man in the video is a New Mexico politician who faced calls to resign after making the remark earlier this month.

    Mr. Trump at midnight retweeted a video from Cowboys For Trump featuring the group's founder, Couy Griffin, who is also the Otero County commissioner. The clip shows Griffin speaking to a crowd of supporters."

    No, Trump just says things like, on a phone call that Mark Milley made to China, "in times gone by, the punishment would have been death." Any nuts out there listening?

    Why don’t you provide the entire quote instead of being a disingenuous partisan hack?
