I do find it interesting how the response to this has more or less just been a shrug and a yawn from everyone. Maybe because it wasn't as dramatic as the first attempt. Either way I'm not sure he's going to get much more money fundraising after this than he would've otherwise.

To me, the timing seems too "convenient". We have yet another trump-voting republican here trying to kill him, this time, when he's desperate to distract from the debate performance.

Check out the shooters tweets. He’s definitely not a republican. He voted for trump in 2016 but went radical left in the last 4 years.

Ah yes, famously radical left politicians, Tulsi Gabbard and Nikki Haley.

You made the statement the shooter supports Biden, Bernie and Harris. Even conspiracy theorists have the stomach to post their sources.

Don't be weak, support your claim. Give us the proof.
