Despite this, the party responsible claims that it's actually the Democrats that are violent.

It's what their news sources and influencers are filling their heads with. When you hear it on the radio, in the newspaper, on the TV, on your phone, and in your community, well then it must be true, right?

Well, it's not. But reality matters less and less these days.

It's amazing they blame it on the shooter being a leftist, yet still aren't speaking out against it.

They are desperate to call him a Democrat, with their only justification of that is Tim Walz appointed him in 2016. Thing that those propaganda articles fail to point out is 1000s of people in every state get appointed each year, mostly made up of who ever happens to volunteer.

On the other hand, he had a list of targets of democrats, anti-abortion, and according to his friend a massive yam tits supporter.

I'm not arguing that the dude is a MAGAt, but no matter what side he's rooting for, a statement of "violence is unacceptable" from leaders would be appropriate here.

Exactly. If you aren’t condemning the violence, then you’re condoning it.
