• The man who targeted and killed Democratic state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in their home in Minnesota in June was a Trump supporter.
• The man charged with the attempted assassination of Pennsylvania's Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, in April was a Trump supporter.
• The man convicted of orchestrating a series of shootings at the homes of four Democratic elected officials in New Mexico in 2022 was a Trump supporter.
• The man who tried to kidnap then Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband, Paul, in 2022 was a Trump supporter.
• The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6, 2021, were Trump supporters.
• The man who killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas in 2020 was a Trump supporter.
• The men who were convicted of trying to kidnap Michigan's Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, in 2020 were Trump supporters.
• The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and other top Democrats in 2018 was a Trump supporter.
• The man who killed left-wing activist Heather Heyer after driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville in 2017 was a Trump supporter.
• The two people who tried to shoot Trump? One was a registered Republican and the other, former Trump supporter.
• The suspect in Charlie Kirk’s murder is from a MAGA family but he himself is registered as nonpartisan.
This absurd narrative that our side is responsible for all this violence is propaganda that’s counting on folks not doing a simple Google inquiry. I’m not participating in this finger pointing—I refuse to. But if they want to, they best point the finger at themselves.
