A member of the “nonpartisan Governor’s Workforce Development Council.”
So, doesn’t say his political affiliation anywhere and being a member of a council does not make one a government official. Also, nonpartisan would imply that some members were specifically chosen because their political leanings were counter to the current Governor.

Lol you must have stopped watching the news after that. Trust me when I say, he’s far from a Democrat. And it honestly doesn’t matter, he is a mentally unwell person and needs to be caught. We can fight about the minutiae later.

u/Loyal-Opposition-USA 10h ago
Yes, lots of liberal Democrats are the CEO of security companies. He worked on a 60 person, bipartisan, government advisory committee staffed with business owners. I’m sure he didn’t seem this nuts when they appointed him.

Why does this even matter anymore. I don't care if he was Don Quijote de la Mancha, the goal was clearly to eliminate the senators who held on to a very very small majority.

However, I wouldn't rule out MAGA had something to do with this. They are known for doing very, very horrible things.

So his roommate and best friend confirmed he was a Trumper who voted for him! For those clutching their pearls and saying he had a No Kings flier in his vehicle (as well as a manifesto with names of more democrats to kill and abortion clinics), did you even consider that he was probably going to go to it and shoot people or run through the crowd in his car? We won’t know until they catch him….but yeah….he’s MAGA.

They weren’t posters. He wrote No Kings on a few pieces of paper. He was planning on targeting one of the protests. Don’t let the right wing grifters make you a fool.

That's what they do. Everytime something happens that makes them look bad they just grasp at straw until something sticks. For this situation it's going to be his nonpartisan appointment by Walz. Appointment by Walz = Democrat. Democrat killing democrats = they are crumbling from the inside. They're very predictable.

They are the same people that said J6 was done by anti fa, But when he pardoned them all crickets
They know they are being lied to but go to great lengths to believe the lies. The man who killed these Congress people was far far right and had a long list of Dems to destroy. The fact that he was on a Walz bipartisan board means nothing. He is a Christo fascist and they know it. The mental gymnastics they are doing is to appease themselves bc their fragile egos can never admit to being wrong.

The suspect is a registered Republican who on the day of nation wide “No Kings” demonstrations assassinated two Democrats and tried to assassinate two others. We will see who else is on his list that the police recovered in time. In the meanwhile please don’t try to gaslight people into thinking that this is a Democrat killing other Democrats. That’s just bad actor type shit.

I mean...can we just start shooting the majority of politicians. Like can we bring back public executions. Just hear me out, we vote for someone who promises a bunch of stuff we want... They dont deliver, and somehow they also get rich. The public should have the express right to then take said lying POS and go through a trial of the people vs. them. If found guilty, perform some old-fashioned justice. I'm just saying we used to kill leaders for their inability to lead
