Morning Joe Speculates: Maybe Trump Wasn't Conservative ENOUGH For Shooter!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/17/2024 12:15:23 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Tuesday's Morning Joe, NBC News law enforcement correspondent Tom Winter repeatedly cautioned people not to jump to conclusions about the shooter's motive. But Winter then proceeded to pass along this bit of anonymous conjecture:

"It is possible that Donald Trump—and there's a bit of a theory in law enforcement—is it possible that Trump was not conservative enough for this individual?"

So be cautious, people! But, there's "a bit" of a theory among some anonymous law enforcement sources that Trump wasn't "conservative enough" for the shooter. Does speculation get much more irresponsible than that? But anything goes, apparently, for Morning Joe to try to deflect responsibility from the left.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

How 3 days later do we not know anything else?

Mayorkis has ordered Cheatle to withhold all facts from the public as the public is too stupid to understand.

I think this is what they were trying to avoid airing on Monday and similar stupidities.


GMTA!

From the article:

“You can imagine the prospect of something like that was precisely what caused the MSNBC suits to keep Morning Joe off the air yesterday.”

These people must think we are living in pre-Information Age. Anyone with any curiosity can find out that this 20 year-old MAN was a left-wing lunatic.

No wonder they didn’t want this show to air, pea brains.

” The attempted assassin thought Mr. Trump was a lizard-man from Planet Xork! “

Plausible.. But EVEN then..

He’d leave a message.
“I do this for my family, friends to save us all from evil orange men from the planet Xork, Good bye ALL!”

Lets see:

“part of Antifa protests or clashes with counter-protesters in Minneapolis Black Lives Matter marches in 2021, Portland unrest in 2022, and Seattle protests in 2023. He was also reportedly a part of Antifa protests in New York and Los Angeles either as an organiser or participant.”

Yeah, super conservative.

Scarborough used to be at least a facsimile of a Republican. What caused him to cross over to the dark side? The dead female staffer in his Florida office? Dissatisfaction with his prior marriage? The desire to plow a furrow with Zika?

But Biden was conservative enough for the shooter to donate to the Biden campaign. I guess he’s implying that Biden is more conservative than Trump.

His donation of only $15 dollars does not sound like a fanatical commitment. But maybe he was just a cheapskate and a lousy tipper too.

The Nashville girl shooter was nuts up one side and down the other. This guy was sort of like Andrew Kehoe of the famous 1927 Bath school bombing. The inquest stated that he acted normally and conducted his duties sanely leading up to his great crime against the children of his community.

Trump was conservative ENOUGH the shooter donated $15.00 to a pro Biden group aka Rino in action.

Interesting theory except for the fact that conservatives are not known to even shoot liberals, but such is the usual prattle on the Morning Joke Show.

We have been told that Thomas Michael Crooks is a registered Republican, but there is a video on YouTube where Crooks addresses a camera and says he hates Republicans, and he hates Trump.

If Crooks was a Republican he would have to have been in the Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Nicolle Wallace, Steve Schmidt, etc., wing.

I’m going with the intern and a related blackmail plot.

Perhaps the shooter hates Republicans because one of them killed an intern?

Not sure what is wrong with him, but my first guess would be a lot . . .

Just stick the quote into DuckDuckGo and it will pop up.

Or should.

I just copied and pasted it from a msm article

I think it’s more likely the kid was put up to it. First thing to check is all phone and net interactions a few months before he registered Republican and a few weeks before the Trump signs were put up.
