Democrats should shut up already. it is not a foregone conclusion - until they've arrested the perpetrator and figured out just why he did it - that it was committed by someone on the left, or that it was even political.

maybe it was a personal vendetta. maybe the guy was infatuated with him. maybe he cheated on his wife with someone else's wife. maybe stephen miller felt threatened by him.

this is propaganda. we're drowning, drowning in it. i do not recognize my country.
