its not exactly fake....two different congressman are on record as saying someone asked them....however its unclear whether it was the shooter or not

It's awful if anyone was targeting people like that

But I guess the shooter was just exercising his 2nd amendment right, yes? Will Wayne LaPierre have a comment?

im pretty sure you dont understand what fake news is

im pretty sure the term has been co-opted to mean anything that is not true, such as this

[ice grillin you]

well thats just plain wrong.....also not sure if this is true or not....if it is it was a case of sloppy reporting not fake news

[ice grillin you]

looking at his facebook page the shooter definitely seems to lean left....altho one of his groups is "the republican party left me"

Charles Orear, 50, a restaurant manager from St. Louis, said in an interview Wednesday that he became friendly with James T. Hodgkinson, whom law enforcement officials identified as the shooter, during their work in Iowa on Sen. Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. Orear said Hodgkinson was a passionate progressive and showed no signs of violence or malice toward others.

"You've got to be kidding me," Orear said when told by phone. "I met him on the Bernie trail in Iowa, worked with him in the Quad Cities area."

Orear described Hodgkinson as a "quiet guy" who was "very mellow, very reserved" when they stayed overnight at a Sanders's supporter home in Rock Island, Ill., after canvassing for the senator.

"He was this union tradesman, pretty stocky, and we stayed up talking politics," he said. "He was more on the really progressive side of things."

The Post reached out to Orear after seeing that he liked one of Hodkinson's Facebook posts.

It's so painful to listen to Trump try to sound serious and like he gives a shtein about something

So the shooter was a Bernie Bro?
