    It won't matter as they will accuse the left regardless.

    I have wondered from time to time where the militant left is.

    I mean, just going off the last two people who shot at trump in the last year...

    There's no reason to say this wasn't MAGA yet.

    It could be someone who thought Kirk wasn't going far enough because he still wanted to talk

    I am fully convinced the trump thing was a false flag operation. They specifically selected a mentally unhealthy kid who was a bad shot. Trump wasn't grazed by the bullet. The movements of his security and the press to set up that photo op paints it's own damning picture.

    Charlie is just to much a fucking idiot to adhere to the same security protocols as literally every conservative event.

    The reason that I just can't take that idea seriously is that, well, there at least was someone actually shooting, so if it was faked the way they would have to do it would be along the lines of "shooting at Trump, but intentionally missing". That would be a fairly dangerous move though, if your fake shooter's aim was off, there's the risk that it accidentally becomes a real assassination instead, and that level of risk feels out of character for Trump.

    Further, were it staged, I'd expect it to be designed to advantage Trump as much as possible. Surely the "shooter" would be revealed to be one of the many demographics he riles people up against, or at least an outspoken democrat, and surely they would have played it up as much as possible throughout the election instead of having it done well before the final weeks and letting it get buried by the news cycle before people actually went to the polls.

    He also surrounds himself with loyal but often incompetent people, and is an old man prone to saying embarrassing things. Would he really have been able to keep such a fake a secret even for this long?

    I'm willing to bet it's a right-winger. Some deranged psycho that bought into the right-wing conspiracy hate sphere they always use and has an axe to grind with Charlie's flip on releasing the Epstein files.

    This sucks for Kirk's family. They should release the Epstein files.

    those kids will totally get bullied by other kids showing them the video of their dad dying. that's all I really feel bad about today.

    Yea. About the only thing sad about this.

    Like, they are still kids, Charlie might have been a bigoted fascist but that's far too complicated for children to fully understand; to them, he was just "Dad".

    It is truly unfortunate for them they had the ill fate of being born to such a horrible person, but that horrid person was spreading rhetoric which has resulted in countless other children losing parents themselves. All I can hope is that those kids grow up to understand this.

    Is there any confirmation that the shooter was in any way a leftist, or motivated by left wing ideals? From all I know, it was some random guy who could have been a right winger who thinks Trump is centralizing the government which goes against his Ayn Rand ideology; or it could just be a loonie.

    We don't even know who did it. This meme is stupid. Could've been another MAGA idiot getting mad at something he said.

    My money is on a Trump/CIA plot to distract from the Epstein files.

    You can’t convince me this and the trump shooter aren’t right wing gambits.

    Trump ordered all flags at half mast until Sunday. If I had a flagpole, I'd be racing to add an extension on to it, even if it looked like shit, to raise it higher.

    Didn't they not even find the shooter? It could be like trump's failed assassin

    It's someone from the right. It's always someone from the right. Every single time

    Popping off solo is an exclusively conservative extremist position

    Leftist extremism is group based

    i'm more than a bit skeptical that "the left" was responsible for this. I think its highly likely that this was a false flag attack.
