    If I’m not mistaken, it was a US Libertarian who attempted the assassination. It’s analytically pointless to group them in with the Republicans, even if they’re both horrible. Infighting is serious business. [redacted: see my reply]

    But yes, they’re still going to blame the Dems anyway lol.

      Source he was a libertarian?

      US libertarians are republicans’ worst governing qualities on steroids, but they’re essentially republicans here despite the naming difference.

        I’m going to redact my claim until I find evidence, because I may have just misinterpreted a flag they had up. Outlets are reporting the were a registered Republican.
