    He's a self proclaimed Trump voter who decided he wanted Vivek and Haley in office instead. Such nice folks on the right.

    Any libs on here that voted for Trump in 2016 then wanted Vivek and Nikki to be president? Didn’t think so.

    Ryan Wesley Routh's shocked neighbor claims everyone was afraid of him before Trump golf course assassination attempt | Daily Mail Online

    A woman who lived next door to Routh in North Carolina described the registered Democrat as unusual and revealed she was not shocked to learn that guns were involved.

    'I mean I didn't think he would go that far. I knew he was a little cuckoo, but assassinating the president? I mean he's going to be going away for a long time,' the anonymous neighbor told Fox 8.

    Yeah who could have imagined. We've only got a presidential candidate who refuses to renounce his supporters' bomb threats targeting immigrants, which were incited by his repeatedly telling racist lies about immigrants.

    It's really little surprise a (nother) Republican would see this and capitol-police-gty-rc-210108_1610107317802_hpEmbed_25x16_992.jpg turn against him. just so hard to figure out where this new level of violence and political vitriol is coming from. ;)

    There is no link necessary. Just watch the msm. The hatred/lies and vitriol spewed about Trump is constant.

    Maybe you should put in a little effort to see if it's true before you post it?

    So, no proof or facts. Both shooters appear to be trumpers to some extent but you feel they are watching msm (which I'm still not sure what that includes) that turned them against Trump?
    Prerty weak even for you.

    Democrats are now officially the party of victim blame.

    Nah, that's just the generic 'it's all the media's fault.' If it were true, you'd be able to show a bunch of a examples from today's news. After all, it's constant, right?

    Seems unlikely that a Tulsi/Vivek guy was inspired by the MSM. Much more likely to have consumed fringe media sources. From the initial reports, this guy doesn't fit cleanly into any box except one:

    Another situation in which someone with fairly obvious mental health issues was able to obtain a gun. I'm interested to lean more about how that happened.

    Susceptibility to conspiracy theories is a mental illness, IMO. Or at least a huge red flag.

    He wasn’t a registered Democrat. I took this picture directly from the state registry. Your article is a lie from the start.

    Does look like him.
    Pretty bizarre coincidence, if it is him. But what would the CIA have to do with it?

    Are you suggesting they hypnotizing people in Black Rock commercials? A pattern requires purpose. Without purpose a pattern is coincidence. But it makes sense that a far right investment company would get righties to assassinate righty candidates.
