    Nobody here who supports Israel wishes death upon innocent "Palestinians". But Israel has every right to defend itself. Of course, you will never understand that.

    The political rhetoric has been off the charts horrendous by both republicans and democrats. I'm surprised that it took this long for it to turn violent. I'm not giving anyone a pass including Vance, and I agree that what he said was irresponsible. However, you jumped to the leftist assumption. Biden is the President. Leftists aren't the only people that hear him speak or see the campaign rhetoric.

    The only political info we have on this nut bag that shot Trump is that he was a registered republican that donated to the democrats. Whether or not he shot Trump because of what the political rhetoric in this country has become is a complete unknown and Vance should not have assumed that. MAYBE he was just a kid that was bullied everyday in school and wanted everyone to remember him after his suicide mission to kill a high profile target.

    Yeah.

    He probably tried to shoot him because he was a Trump supporter.

    Totally makes sense.

    Goodness, guys, have some shame.

    Which I never stated as fact.

    By the way, the guy who assaulted Pelosi got locked up quietly forever. People who commit much worse crimes are walking free in San Francisco.

    And the guy was historically a leftist. His wife and daughter confirmed it.

    He was also an illegal immigrant.

    in PA, you have to register with a party to vote in the primary.

    you'll recall how ActBlue and other progressives have actually promoted the idea of registering as republicans and voting in the republican primaries in several states.

    I registered so I could vote for Nikki Haley.

    we have DePape’s own testimony in court…

    This daughter?

    DePape’s daughter, Inti Gonzalez, told the Los Angeles Times that the suspect had a personal blog in which he posted QAnon theories and suggested that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was "a ploy for Jewish people to buy land."

    In the months before police accused him of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Friday morning, David DePape had been drifting further into the world of far-right conspiracies, antisemitism and hate, according to a Times review of his online accounts.

    In a personal blog that DePape maintained, posts include such topics as “Manipulation of History,” “Holohoax” and “It’s OK to be white.” He mentioned 4chan, a favorite message board of the far right. He posted videos about conspiracies involving COVID-19 vaccines and the war in Ukraine being a ploy for Jewish people to buy land.

    DePape’s screeds included posts about QAnon, an unfounded theory that former President Trump is at war with a cabal of Satan-worshipping elites who run a child sex ring and control the world. In an Aug. 23 entry titled “Q,” DePape wrote: “Either Q is Trump himself or Q is the deepstate moles within Trumps inner circle.”

    DePape’s daughter, Inti Gonzalez, told The Times that her father wrote the blog. She said that she and her mother were reeling from the news that DePape had been arrested in connection with the attack on Paul Pelosi.

    “I’m a little shocked,” she said, “but not really that shocked, in all honesty.”

    same in New York. Dems have been encouraged the past ten or so years to register as Republicans and sabotage Republican candidates in the primaries

    Yes, the immediate blame the left or blame the right should stop.
