Sunday’s arson attack on Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro is the latest in an epidemic of political violence that’s been plaguing the nation for half a decade — an epidemic driven by the left.

We were one photoshop away from a MAGA hat on that jerk.

And the usual “no social media trail of any kind until yesterday when he signed up and posted pro-Trump diatribes.”

I read that his house burnt down in one minute, if so, he was either cooking meth or parking a Tesla in his garage.

He’s not an idiot so I doubt either is true, then maybe it was a false-flag gone bad, where the plan was to NOT catch the arsonist....or maybe an insurance scam, to build an even bigger mansion?

The perp was angry over the foreclosure by the bank the State auctioned off.

We were woindering why the press had no interest in the arsonist...

And I’ve read no mention of a smoke/fire alarm in that mansion. Have you?

Gov. doesn’t blame ‘either side’. We all know it’s the left.

Haven’t read much on it, but no. Interesting if the system(s) just happen to be ‘off-line’ at the time...

Josh was in sore need of an image boost. A fire at home, yet he survived !

Not quite the same as almost having your head blown off like what happened to Trump, yet Josh can now stand before the Pennsylvania Reichstag fire and deliver a gravitas filled speech . Gosh, is it too early, Shapiro 2028 ! 😍🥰😂🙄🤡

The fire is yet another staged FedCo / False Flag /Hollywood Production.*

*Do we know who the DNC Bomber is yet !?!
