    The media will highlight that this dirtbag is a registered Republican but that really means nothing. He probably was registered Republican so he can vote against Republicans in primaries. Other media sources are already revealing his alleged involvement with radical leftist groups in Portland, NYC, and California. Also rapidly coming to light is his donations to far left leaning progressive groups on the radical spectrum known for their political violence against those who are right of center.

    130 yards is nothing for a decent shot with a rifle. That’s like the back of a football endzone to the back of the other. That should never have been possible.

    Scares me that the FBI is now taking over the investigation. Of course the shooter is killed, that way he can’t talk and tell about all the things he was promised if he just did this “favor” to “save the democracy!” With Mayorkas in charge of investigating, I’m convinced they won’t find that he had ties to anyone else, no texts, etc!

    To answer some of the questions from an expert. The shooter used an AR .223 caliber rifle (5.56). They cost from $500 on up, but they are not highly accurate until you buy one $1500 on up. The cheaper ones are about 3-4 moa. A sniper rifle is about .5-.75 moa and usually a bolt action not a semi auto. In a bolt gun, for example Savage arms makes a model called the Axis II, which costs around $300-400 and is about 1 moa in the more accurate calibers such as 6.5 Creedmoor. a 150 yard shoot with an Axis II in 6.5cm, can score a head shot 95% by someone who has been practicing for the first time after 5 or 6 shots with good coaching. B”H the lunatic who shot Trump used an AR, even then he only missed by an inch.

    First CNN , MSNBC and the DemoKKKrats came for the Jews and no one said a thing. Then they came for the USA’s democratic system by targeting the loyal opposition leader. Are we waking up yet? Obama will put us on trains to his camps next year if he wins under Bidens name again.
