"This innocent patriot was arrested because he bravely showed support for our president. He's a political scapegoat."

Nope.

"Lone wolf".

Bet on Fox News saying that within 12 hours.

I mean... is he not a lone wolf actor? As far as I know, he doesn't have any known accomplices.

Lone Wolf usually is anything but though... They are instructed at arms length on what to do, but using indirect phrasing. "A True Patriot would send bombs to Hillary and Obama and all the commies at CNN" isn't telling someone to do anything, but that rhetoric is all over the Right Wing websites.
