I don’t like the lie take either because saying “they are desperately trying to characterize the shooter as not one of them” might OBVIOUSLY insinuate that the shooter was MAGA, but technically (legal wise) means they were just trying to passionately frame what turned out to be the truth, by exact verbiage, unless I’m missing something.
That is an incredibly confusing sentence, my man.
We have absolutely no idea what this guy's motivations are, but conservatives are desperate to call him a leftist. I haven't said anything because we have no idea and it doesn't matter to me, I'm not invested. Liberals don't have anything to prove to conservatives, the right owns political violence and always have.
I saw Ben Shapiro talking about how the left had to be accountable for their rhetoric and I rolled my eyes.
Remember the Quebec Mosque shooting?
In the month before the shooting, Bissonnette was on leave from his job at Héma-Québec with an anxiety disorder following an altercation with a co-worker. In this month he obsessively visited the Twitter accounts of several pro-Israel right wing media personalities including
Ben Shapiro, Tommy Robinson, Laura Ingraham, Alex Jones, Mike Cernovich, Gavin McInnes and Kellyanne Conway. Bissonnette checked in on the Twitter account of Ben Shapiro 93 times in the month leading up to the shooting.
Ben's comment on this:
“This evil piece of human crap happened to be somebody who had seen some of my tweets,” Shapiro said of Bissonnette. “Now I have 1.4 million Twitter followers so I guess the idea from the left is that if somebody sees enough of my tweets they’re inevitably going to become a terrorist. Weird that I don’t have a spate of enormous terrorism across the country thanks to my Twitter followers.”

Ben doesn't get to complain about rhetoric from liberals. No conservative does.
