The Democrats own it... [View all]

What do they own?

There were several well-known Republicans that flew off the handle when they heard that Charlie Kirk has been assassinated. Not knowing any facts, they declared that the "Democrats own it".

Excuse us while we wipe the egg from our faces.

It turns out that the shooter and his family are big Donald Trump supporters. They are Utah Republicans. They are Mormon. You can't get much more Republican than that.

The shooter was a MAGA.

Let's try to process all that.
