Democrat candidates for president and Democrat mouthpieces in the media are among those blaming President Trump and his rhetoric for the mass murder over the weekend.
Conor Betts, the Dayton killer, seems to have been on the same page as Democrats, not Trump.
From CNN:
A Twitter account that appears to belong to Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts retweeted extreme left-wing and anti-police posts, as well as tweets supporting Antifa, or anti-fascist, protesters.Betts supported gun control. He supported Antifa, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren.
The most recent tweet on the @iamthespookster account was on August 3, the day of the shooting, when he retweeted a post saying, "Millenials have a message for the Joe Biden generation: hurry up and die." He also retweeted messages supporting Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
The user's Twitter bio reads: "he/him / anime fan / metalhead / leftist / I'm going to hell and I'm not coming back." One tweet used the hashtag #HailSatan.
Police are still trying to determine what motivated Betts to kill nine people early Sunday morning in a popular nightlife district in downtown Dayton. He was killed by police officers on patrol nearby 30 seconds after he opened fire.
In the hours before the Dayton shooting, the Twitter account "liked" several tweets about a shooting in El Paso, Texas, that left 22 dead, including one supporting gun control and others that called the El Paso shooting suspect a "terrorist," and a "white supremacist."
The account also retweeted posts against ICE agents, including one that said, "these people are monsters," and multiple posts condemning police, and supporting Antifa protesters, who often use violent tactics. There were also many tweets of selfies, photos with a friend and ordinary memes and nonpolitical content.
Where are the calls for Sanders, Warren, and other Democrats to tone down their incendiary rhetoric? Why haven't they been blamed for the shootings? Are they being held responsible for the nine deaths in Dayton?
Betts condemned police and ICE agents.
That means Colin Kaepernick and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have blood on their hands, too.
Is it fair to blame these Leftists for inciting Betts to murder?
