Can I get a citation for that?
Because every single other news source is not backing that up.

So I have every reason to believe that’s cap.

2 weeks and your citation, which is unrelated to the original now deleted claim, is that a writer from India today and redistributed twice through MSN….

And the source is an article from GAB …IN A TWEET… that’s says themselves. “We’ve been unable to confirm the account was his.”
When we KNOW he was out to shoot either Biden or Trump but chose Trump as a matter of convenience.

None of this article. Not one shred. Points to him being a Biden supporter nor corroborated with ANY information we’ve been found on him. Aside from the fact he’d looked into venues to shoot trump or Biden.

If you’re gonna post 2 weeks after you better come back with something tangible.

Do not waste my time like this ever again.

You said that he was going to shoot either Trump or Biden, please show me the evidence where he was debating on shooting biden. Also the article actually say that he defended Biden, that sounds a lot like being a Biden supporter. As for the two week period, I was on vacation.

Your own f**king op Ed said that’s been confirmed information that he looked into BOTH candidates menus.

No it said the account defended Biden the account has not been confirmed to be his.

For all we know this could be yet another troll or recently changed account like the user “jewgazing.” Who did it because he looked like crooks.

Just stop. This was already pathetic as it is.

First of all, just because he looked into the location of both candidates doesn't mean he wanted to kill them both, but, thank you for correcting me when I said he was "confirmed a Democrat" I should have said "now, more evidence points to him being a democrat then being a republican."

Except it doesn’t by the writers own admission.

And so far nothing. Not a single crumb of evidence except for an odd donation to dem pac. Even leans to that direction and runs contrary to LITERALLY every other bit of evidence like he is a registered Republican and in school…ALWAYS sided with conservative arguments.

To what degree he was Republican/conservative is up for debate as more info comes out but there is no doubt from current available information he was conservative.

Again. If your going to wait two weeks to respond don’t waste my time with some half baked op Ed that contradicts their own facts.

As for the bias of India today, if they had come out with the information then i would be inclined to doubt them because of their bias. But they're only reporting on it, not actually coming up with it, the CEO of gab came out with the information.

That’s called hearsay.
And also “I’d know if they were biased if they’d just say so.”

Yeah that’s not how propagandists work…

I will admit that the evidence pointing to him belonging to either party is murky at best. this is because there is some evidence pointing to him being a republican and some pointing to him being a democrat. But I will ask, though he looked into the location of both candidates, I don't believe that means he wanted to kill them both. Can you please show me the evidence where he was debating on killing one or the other and not just killing trump, that would be helpful.

It’s not murky.
He made on donation to a dem associated pac.
After being a lifelong Republican and registered as such.

That would be like saying I am a q anoner because I donated to wounded warrior once despite advocating for progressive policy since I was 19.

No. I’m not saying he was looking to kill both. READ.

I said BECAUSE TRUMP WAS CLOSER. He shot at HIM. Had Biden been closer. He would have shot at him instead.

Current theory is he was looking to shoot someone noteworthy to prove he was a capable marksman. (Unless he turns out to be an Alex jones fan but there is ZERO evidence to back that up.)

You have no idea if that’s the case or not.
And insults will not help you.

From the article, "We are unable to confirm that the account in question actually belonged to him"

So...no. There is no confirmation. That's the CEO of Gab saying they turned over an account for A Thomas Crooks.

Just because someone Indian said it doesn't mean it's wrong, bigot.

Yeah nice try to attempt to troll but I said India today the newspaper that has a strong right wing bias both to modi and trump.

Weird you jumped to the fact she’s Indian oh wait no it’s not because of course conservatives brought up their race first.

Your comment sounded bigoted at first, but now I take that back, you are not racist. Also, about the right wing lean of India today, just because someone who disagrees with you aid it doesn't mean that they're wrong.

What part of bias to Modi and Trump did you not read? There’s a big difference between a bias that’s substantiated and an op Ed writer clearly playing defense for the right wing when they are even admitting their info is unverified but claims it as fact.

And originally my main criticism was that they wrote op Ed based off hearsay from a tweet of which the company had not confirmed the account or be legit.

Just stop.
You thought you had the magic own the libs bullet and you didn’t. take your L and move on and maybe check your sources better.

Though it is not 100% confirmed that it was his account, it is very well within possibility, also thank you for correcting me when I said "he is in fact a democrat", I should have said "now, more evidence points to him being a democrat then being a republican."

Once. $15. When he was 17.
Later that year. 2021. When he turned 18. He registered as a Republican.

As far as we are aware that is correct but as some supposed current Trump supporters have said “I supported Bernie but then went Trump.”

Regardless still awaiting motive but he was a registered Republican.
