Instead, Gonzalez painted a picture of a sad and possibly unstable man, who, if anything, was not loyal to any party. Not that this excuses attacking someone with a hammer, but as Gonzalez...

It’s almost like the mainstream media want to raise the temperature and stoke unsubstantiated fear. Actually, I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what they want to do. That was made apparent again today after a lie was trumpeted by several major media outlets before being shown to be mostly false.I’m talking about the story that a man provided “fake” inauguration credentials while carrying 500 rounds of handgun ammunition on his person in an attempt to enter the Capitol area.
