Oops
As the nation reels from another devastating mass shootingthis time at a Mormon church in suburban MichiganRepublican leaders have remained notably silent following revelations that the gunman was a devoted Trump supporter who once proudly wore the label Ultra MAGA.
Thomas Jacob Sanford, a 40-year-old Marine veteran from Grand Blanc Township, plowed his pickup truck into a local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Sunday before opening fire on worshippers. Ten people were shot. Four are dead. The church was later engulfed in flames after Sanford used an accelerant to set it ablaze. Two of the victims died from gunshot wounds, and two more bodies were recovered from the debris.
Sanford in a camouflage Trump 2020 shirt that read Make Liberals Cry Again, and a Trump-Pence sign still visible on his front lawn just months ago, the political implications became harder to ignore.
So far, Republican leaders have said nothing.

(9,195 posts)They will never admit to that.
But, it is on them. They know it deep down. They also know that there will be a reckoning over this.
Because if there isn't, then we have learned nothing.

They HAVE to be the victim, but clearly it was backloaded - not saying by whom.

That's the only evidence that matters in this administration. Liberals love to write stuff on bullets.

(6,243 posts)"Proud to be a virgin" or something pathetic like that. It'd be laughable but that christian household produced a cold and calculating killer. Very representative of the hateful crowd that are part of the tRUMP regime. I suggest removing all "friends and family" from any future gatherings if they support these monsters.

(14,910 posts)When someone on the right is targeted, the entire "Left" and the Democratic Party are to blame -- even before any facts about the shooter are known.
