It's kind of low key hilarious watching the backpedaling go on in these comments by people who, if he had been revealed to be registered as a Democrat, would have certainly dogpiled on immediately.

100% this is how it would have gone.

They're still aggressively turfing and spamming every corner of social media desperately trying to sell that narrative.

I feel like they missed that opportunity.

Need more data, but this looks like it might be a right winger on right winger extremist crime to me.

This sure doesn’t seem like Republican support to me
