So was the Trump shooter a Democrat or Republican?

[Anonymous]

I have been hearing so many mixed stories. Can anyone confirm please?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

He’s a democrat who registered republican so that he could vote against trump in the primary. If you remember he was elected as the front runner because it was believed if he didn’t run as a republican they would lose.

the guy was seen wearing a shirt for a YouTube channel about shooting guns and what he did completely does not fit in with what this channels fan base would support. It seems like he was trying to build enough of a story to make it look like some “gun freak” did it.

a lot of people believe he was planted there and the media was going to build up a story to hurt republican image which has been improving since trump took office because of these facts.

[Twalli]

Registered Republican. Gave a small amount ($15 or a similarly small amount) to a friend running for public office who wasn't. Another guy with the same name, but old enough to be his father gas donated a lot to democrats. We think the older person may actually be his father.

[Anonymous]

A Democrat. He had donated $15 to a Democratic PAC and there's also a video of him circulating on Twitter in which he says that he hates Trump, as well as the Republicans. Plus why would you try to assassinate someone you like? (if he was a Republican). It makes no sense. The reason he may have registered as a Republican is to have access to the rallies and other public events

[Avicenna]

Almost Democrats disapprove of Trump and many, if not most, hate him with a passion. Occam's Razor says the murderer who tried to kill Trump was a far-left Democrat.

[Avicenna]

* Almost all

[Twalli]

Ocams Razor, why most sniper rifle owners are registered Republicans?

[Avicenna]

@Twalli: Are they? A lot of registered firearms owners aren't even registered to vote (I've seen estimates of up to 10 million of them) and presumably some are registered Democrats. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if lots of them were registered Democrats.

But you're trying to obfuscate the fact that a person has to fire a firearm, and people are susceptible to the awful incitement and hateful rhetoric coming from Joe Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party. Trying to assassinate a presidential candidate comes from a place of hatred. A firearm doesn't hate, and the Trump attempted assassin didn't own a firearm.

At the end of the day, Democrats don't think that they have to take responsibility for anything- not for their hateful rhetoric, their support for awful policies from some of the worst extremists to ever work in an administration, or anything else.

[Twalli]

Biden is less culpable than Trump for his words as it wasn't the sane day, it wasn't a mob, it wasn't years of rabble rousing speeches. Also I'm pretty sure Trump will skate on his federal charges since SCOTUS pretty much made a sitting president immune, and Bifen is the sitting president and was when he made that speech.

[Avicenna]

@Twalli: That is utter nonsense and shows just how extreme you are. Leftists want to ban speech that opposes their agenda and spread hatred of their political opponents.

Your Democratic friends are still trying to go after Trump, and, as a reminder it was Biden who skated because he's too demented to stand trial. If that's the case, he's certainly too demented to be President, especially until January 2029.

But let me ask you this- do you agree with Biden and your fellow Democrats when they claim that Trump is another Hitler, would be a dictator and is a threat to democracy?

[Avicenna]

I very much doubt Trump has said stuff like that, despite the political persecution he has endured at the behest of the Bidenites.

[Twalli]

He has a lot if similarities. Any decent student of History can't help but see them. As a historian, I probably know more of thr similarities, bit also several more differences as well.

[Avicenna]

@Twalli: As someone who not only lived in Germany over half his life and has read a lot of German sources and talked to people who remember the Nazi era and some of whose grandparents and great-grandparents were actually persecuted by the Nazis, I know there aren't any of these alleged similarities. Now Joe Biden's administration on the other hand, has some similarities. But most Democrats are happy with Biden's similarities.

Remember, Trump was in office for four years. Compare that to what Hitler did by early 1937. In fact, I can tell you Hitler was persecuting political opponents within the first few weeks. Trump's political opponents were and are the ones doing the persecuting, propaganda, and censorship. Joe Biden has political prisoners, Trump didn't.

Inviting an insurrection

[Twalli]

*inciting

[Avicenna]

@Twalli: LOL, not even corrupt Special Counsel Jack Smith tried to charge him with that. You're grasping at straws- Trump encouraged people to protest peacefully. You clearly have no idea what an insurrection is.

Here's what the federal criminal code says about insurrection:

Next thing you'll tell me anyone who eats vegetables has a similarity to Hitler because he was a vegetarian.

[Twalli]

No, but I might point out that if we look at the moral character of Hitler, FDR, and Churchill, Hitler was the best before taking power. In that way he is wholly unlike Trump.

[Avicenna]

@Twalli: I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

At the end of the day, people seem to go overboard on Trump, who simply isn't the radical the Democrats portray him as being.

[Twalli]

He isn't, unfortunately his ego combined with smart conniving people advising him makes him dangerous.

[Avicenna]

@Twalli: Can you identify these smart, conniving people by name?

[Twalli]

Not all, some though.

[strateguy632]

a republican because registered as republican but not a republican person just registered because

wanted to mess with primary.

[exitseven]

He was a registered Republican but he also donated money to a democrat organization. He may have registered as a Republican so he could vote against Trump in the primary.

[Twalli]

$15 to a friend, unless you mean his 69 year old name fellow

[exitseven]

@Twalli it was when he was 17 and it was a donation to a democrat reprogramming organization.

[Twalli]

And was $15. There have been larger donations by someone who shares his name, but is 69 as opposed to 20.

[Avicenna]

@Twalli: It shows where his heart was- getting the vote out for Democrats and as he became increasingly radicalized by Democratic Party propaganda, he either planned to kill Trump or became part of a plot to do so.

[OhLongJohnsoning]

Registered republican. His mother a dem, his father a libertarian. His father bought him a legal gun. but then he was radicalized by a far right gun group

[Asker]

Why would a far right person kill Trump? Doesn't he cater to their ideologies?

[OhLongJohnsoning]

A far right person, has the ideology of "kill".

[Asker]

Wouldn't it make more sense if he took biden out?

[Agape93]

Republicans aren't a monolith. There's different factions with different ideas.

[Dargil]

What "far right" gun group is that?

[andreasderjuengere]

From what I heard, he was a legal American :D

Which of the two dominant parties he ''belonged'' to makes no difference.

[Dargil]

He was registered republican, probably to crossvote.

[Anonymous]

That wasn't the issue. It was that he was relentlessly bullied in school. It's the bullying that's causing these shootings, not the guns and not political affiliation. But no one cares about that.

[DrPepper12]

A registered Republican but gave $15 to a dem outfit 3.5 years ago

[Twalli]

Which is virtually nothing. I spend more for a meal for 2 at Subway.

[normalice]

In fact that's not even certian as there is someone by the same name living in the area who could have been the donor. Plus, you have to be 18 or older to donate to actblue and there is no math that puts someone who was 20 last Saturday at 18 on January 20, 2021 - though he could have lied about his age.

[DrPepper12]

Ty for clarification guys!
