It looks like the shooter was either Republican or unaffiliated, not a Democrat or a liberal. Do you think Nancy Mace

will consider apologizing for the way she flapped her big mouth yesterday, blaming Democrats, saying they are 100% responsible?

We don’t know what condition Charlie Kirk is in right now,” said Mace. "Some raging leftist lunatic put a bullet through his neck, and you want to talk about Republicans right now? No! No, not at all!”

“No, this is on — the Democrats own this. Democrats own this.” Mace interjected.

“But isn’t there a problem with political violence across the spectrum?” Nobles asked.

“Yeah, we’re talking about Charlie Kirk right now,” retorted Mace. “That’s the subject of this, that we’re talking about right now. Democrats own this, one hundred percent.”

in one convenient, illustrative nutshell

They DO NOT DO intellectual integrity. In fact, they do not even understand the concept.

In the entire 25, over 1000's of conversations, not once have I seen the words "you make a good/interesting point" or "I hadn't though of it that way". Even though I'm very, very sure I make good points along these lines all the damn time. Once they decide on their angle and express it in a conversation, that is it. They will stick to it like a dog with a bone, and "debating" is completely futile and pointless.

He could be a conservative. He could be an unaffiliated liberal. He could be completely apolitical. All we know is that he didn't vote last November.

Groyper, Magt, etc. We knew it already, but Fuentes' recent freakout telling his people to not shoot anyone puts the nail in that coffin.

Fuentes freaks out all the time. That's his whole schtick. And how would he know unless he had some personal connection to the shooter and if he did, then there's likely to be a bigger shit-storm awaiting him.

But it just sounds like to me, from everything I've read, the dude was terminally online. But there's been no comment, no statement, no post, no manifesto, no YouTube video or Facebook Like or Instagram follow that sheds any light into what he thought politically - whether he was left, right or center.

Which is wild because this place was losing their shit yesterday when everyone was accusing him of being a leftist without proof.

How do you know he was alt-right? You're emphatic with the claim so I'm guessing something came out that proves he's alt-right. A statement or a post he made on Facebook or his reddit account or twitter account ... so, can you share that information with?
