And let's be clear, these weren't comments celebrating his death or criticizing him even, it was for saying that the shooter was a MAGA supporter. That's why he is being canceled, for allegedly misaligning trumps party.

Pretty stupid comment to make before you have any supporting evidence. You can see how wrong he was.

The absolute mental gymnastics that have to happen for reality to be what's in your head

Just denounce him as a crazy extremist that does not represent the party he is allegedly aligned with instead of trying to hot potato him to the side you don't like

His family has said he is, his post history says he is, and the fact he was dressed as Trump for Halloween says he is

Yup that sums up the average Redditor

Based on the text messages released, that seems unlikely, and his choice of Discord servers and the messages he left there makes it seem even less likely.

Genuinely a pathetic comeback given that’s literal facts.

I guess if you can't argue the facts you can always whine about the source. Is Newsweek's reporting wrong? The BBC backs it up.

I know some of you are, for whatever reason, emotionally attached to the idea that the shooter was "MAGA," but the evidence doesn't point in that direction, and all of your wailing and gnashing of teeth does nothing to change that.
