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.

You are correct! From an article on Yahoo News: “A former classmate of would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks says the 20-year-old gunman once mocked him over his support of former President Donald Trump and had a general disdain for mainstream politicians across the political aisle.”

Nice try, Joe. I’m pretty sure the would-be assassin was Antifa trash.
