In the most direct refutation of the inevitable media spin, he even admits that “I’m putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric.” In a macabre self-fulfilling prophecy, he then states “The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that.”

How soon will the photoshop pics pop up with him wearing a Trump 2020 shirt, MAGA hat, standing next to PDJT at some document signing. I put NOTHING out of reach for the H8rs.

Too little too late... if you are unhappy with the two parties, consider Trump. He has given the proverbial middle to both parties.

Though the validity of the ‘manifesto’ is being questioned is it not? Anyone seen a date stamp on when it was written? Was it plagerized from “PrairieFire”?

The shooter voluntarily gave his life for the Cause. Communists used to do that and as they fanaticize further they do it again. Such creeds, Islam and Communism produce such “martyrs” for the cause. At some point when the Left becomes more confident they will openly embrace these “martyrs.”

Government school “teachers” indoctrinated him to believe all this stuff.

Government school “teachers” are to blame.

Already the usual leftist outlets are spinning the manifesto to make it look like Trump is responsible.

In the Atlantic Graeme Wood correctly notes that the El Paso shooter's manifesto includes many ideas from the left, but still manages to try to tie President Trump to the event:

If you think that this cross-pollination of ideas means Sanders is just as culpable as Trump, then congratulations: You just cannonballed right into the inferno. It is one thing to favor one’s countrymen over one’s potential countrymen, as Sanders does (narrow-mindedly, in my view).
It is quite another to cultivate hatred and fear of foreigners, to encourage political violence, and to amplify wing-nut conspiracies that, if true, would implicate millions of people in treason. To my knowledge, only one politician on the national stage has done all of these things.

Of course Graeme never mentions the shooter's explicit denial of being influenced by President Trump.

"My ideology has not changed for several years. My opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for president. I putting this here because some people will blame the President or certain presidential candidates for the attack. This is not the case. I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump's rhetoric. The media is infamous for fake news. Their reaction to this attack will likely just confirm that."

It would be far more useful for our society if media pundits focused on the causes of young people deciding to embark on violent, and likely suicidal actions based on a toxic mix of ideas they have been taught in school and through mainstream leftist thinking with the writings of other deranged violent activists, instead of trying to blame their political opponents like the NRA, the Republican Party, and President Trump.

“””It should come as no surprise that the FakeNews Industrial Complex has already pounced on the latest mass shooting for political purposes”””


Yes, there is an instant barrage of screaming from the left for ‘gun control’ and absolute silence on the mental health of the shooter.

Check out this link re shooters father.

I’m not on Twitter anymore, but I will bet this guy had a second anonymous account there that could be searched out.

Typical Leftists. They believe you are never responsible for your own actions. Everyone is so easily influenced. We can't think for ourselves, therefore we need Leftists to tell us what to think!

21st century liberalism is a mental disease...

This just proves that the violence in Democrat run cities isn’t about race, but about buying in to the leftists’ mentality of being entitled to free stuff.

Don’t focus on the writings.

Focus on his actions.

The current Democrat Party is in a word...”Desperate”!!! And remember, people “Desperate People do Desperate things”. Truth be known, the Democrat Party is now entering its self-inflicted political death throes. POTUS, Donald J. Trump will be re-elected in 2020 in a massive landslide victory.

The antics of nutcase Democrat POTUS Candidate Beto O’Rourke are a literal joke as he feigns to be somber and mourning as he openly smiles prior to his loving act for El Paso and its residents. Just check out his act on video. Folks...you better wise up relative Beto O’Rourke, he cares about only one thing & one thing only...himself...period!!!

As it been determined that the manifesto is indeed the murderer’s?

A lie can race around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots.

It seems as though rumor is transmitted through telepathy, while cold hard fact has to be set in type, printed, and mailed out. And often as not, even with the facts available, the rumor is the version that is remembered.

It's really interesting, reading his manifesto. He's against race-mixing, but he doesn't actually say anything negative about the other races, just that he thinks they should be kept separate so that they have a sense of identity and social cohesion. He sounds like a separatist, but not a supremacist.

Definitely worried about the environment and pollution... if it weren't for his remarks on immigration and race, he would be seen as a Bernie Sanders supporter..

The shooter stated that his racism pre-dates Trump, AND he identifies as Democrat.
