“Police presented a picture of the suspect in which he can be seen wearing a MAGA sweatshirt and standing in front of Trump flags.”
A picture worth a thousand words.

The New Mexico Republican Party doesn’t seem to understand how the law works:

“The New Mexico Republican Party condemned Pena in a statement Monday night. ‘If Pena is found guilty, he must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.’”

They have become accustomed to the idea that losing in court is just the beginning of the journey.

Violence is horrible, no matter who commits it or its supposed justification.

Commit violence --> go to jail.

America prefers gun rights over human rights, esp if the gun toting moron is a Republican shooting at Dems.

The article also says the guy also has a prior felony record and paid other men to shoot at the houses. Wonder where the GOP finds these candidates.

And oh look, the both siders have arrived on the thread, too. “Anyone can do political violence!” Sure, obviously. But only one side is doing and fanning the flames, too.

The right wing lies about absolutely everything, to rile its base. It's one thing after another. Saw someone posted something about "Should Trumka get fired" - for what? That's based on yet another right wing lie, falsely claiming that federa SWAT teams of jackboots were going to kick in your grandma's door and confiscate her 50 year old gas stove when all it was is "future phase-out of NEW installations of gas stoves." The right wing is shameless in its lies, and its base looks like gullible idiots for constantly believing lie after lie and getting riled by those lies.
