Literal War on Press: Shooter supports Trump

Post by _Hawkeye »

Just yesterday Trump Supporter and former senior editor for Breitbart, Milo Yiannopoulos said:

“I can’t wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down on sight."

Today a shooter guns down journalists in Annapolis, Maryland.

And remember, Trump tells us the media is the enemy of the people.

But Sean Hannity blames this shooting on Maxine Waters.

The shooter once tweeted:

Referring to @realDonaldTrump as "unqualified" @capgaznews could end badly (again).

Donald Trump, 2016:

I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th 2017, safety will be restored.

... I alone can fix it.


It took a mighty big ass to have uttered those words, and since then, nothing has changed.

I wouldn't exactly say that! It appears to me that things have only become worse since he took over.

I never heard of anyone shooting up Fox News over their reporting which is very right wing.

was the shooter a Trump supporter and politically motivated? Or was he just taking Maxine's advice?

(or as reality insists, did he have a personal issue with the paper and an obvious mental disorder?...but please, continue being arrogant hair fires by making stupid political hay from 5 people's deaths before they are even buried).

So what you're saying is you're actually as dumb as advertised by following Sean Hannity's idiotic theory. Waters never advised anyone to do anything remotely similar to what this guy did. But yes, this guy is a Trump supporter, which is hardly surprising. He's probably "pro-life" too.

Which part? The violence, or Trump being a mighty big ass? :smile:

Does being a Trump supporter fulfill that criteria?
