His posts included criticism of President Trump
Among the many anti-Semitic social media posts were comments suggesting that President Trump was surrounded by too many Jewish people. “Trump is surrounded by k****”, “things will stay the course,” read one post on the Gab social media platform, which used a derogatory term to describe Jews. Another post, apparently intended as an insult, read: “Trump is a globalist, not a nationalist,” Bowers said two days before the shooting. “There is no #MAGA as long as there is a k*** infestation.
He said he didn’t vote for Trump
Roughly four hours before the shooting, Bowers commented in a post that he did not vote for Trump.

Just caught a short bit on one of the big three networks.

They just had to attack Trump twice in their coverage. Once asking if his rhetoric is to blame and also hinting that he should not go on with a campaign event.

Never heard a word about the shooter being anything other than an anti-Semite which I am sure he was and also how it was a hate crime. They mentioned hate crime several times and we all know they associate that with right wing groups.

As oppose research, we occasionally watch CNN.

I just saw David Axeleod talking to Wolf Blitzer about turning down the rhetoric, but the subtext was Trump’s fault and gun control.

It won’t stop the MSM from calling this POS a “nationalist” so they can tie him to Trump. Watch and see if this comes to pass. We have ten days to the election and the left is in total panic mode.

So a trump-supporting nutcase sends fake bombs incapable of exploding.
A trump-hating nutcase kills people.
The media obsesses over the trump-supporting nutcase. How much coverage will be given to the trump-hating nutcase?

Gee I don’t remember the commie media blaming Obama for Orlando..homos being massacred by a Jihadist that Obama allowed into our country not a peep from the commie press. This dirt bag was a Neo Nazi Wannabe Jew hating Commie who hated President Trump and probably supported the things that came out of Farrakhan’s mouth, referring to Jews as termites, I didn’t see any outrage from CNN, who by the way DESPISE Israel’s existence

It’s going to be an interesting week!

I’m really, REALLY looking forward to the Blue Wave - OF TEARS! The Suicide Hotlines will be lighting up!

We’ll just have to MAGA without them. Which is pretty much what each and every ONE of us does every. damn. day. :)

The stinkin’ PBS “News” Hour made no mention of this Pittsburgh shooter being anti-Trump. None at all.

However, in their next story about the Florida “bomb” maker, they repeatedly claimed that this weirdo in Florida was pro-Trump. Yeah, sure he is.

That figures. The Nazis have been complaining about Alex Jones, of all people, too, calling him a “Zionist shill.”

I would suggest that any of us who can, get out and vote early, as I expect they will be ratcheting up their acts of violence to scare us away from the polls. I trust none of them.

My real question is what is CNN not telling us. We know CNN spins things to promote their agenda. Also know in terms of propaganda and fake news.

Trump supporting nutcase? Turns out the Deep State didn’t scrub his social media quick enough. Apparently all his friends are Trump haters or other Demscum. A Freeper (of course) tracked that down earlier today. Sorry, can’t recall the Freeper’s name.

The #NeverTrump stuff will get buried.

He’ll be reported as a white supremacist who hated Jews, blaming them for the Honduran caravan. He posted on Gab which is where all the white supremacists go after getting kicked off Twitter.

The media will allow everyone to draw their own conclusions (angry white male, hated immigrants, George Soros, etc.). Most people who don't spend time on political forums or the Twitter cesspool will assume by default Robert Bowers must be a Trump supporter.

The media will not correct this assumption. Already the spin is that if Bowers isn't a Trump supporter, he should've been because all of his views line up with Trump supporters! (Never mind the party that is in bed with Keith Ellison, Louis Farrakhan, Linda Sarsour, Ilhan Omar, and the rest of this ilk who get a pass on all of their anti-semitism).

The media tried to blame POTUS on REPUBLICANS being shot by a Bernie supporter. Well you know, his words scared and triggered the poor leftist loon.

Make no mistake from Occupy Wall street on forward, the left has been creating an atmosphere of violence, harassment, and intimidation, that is condoned and even celebrated by the media and celebrities.
