Whataboutism?

Nobody is whatabouting any of the violence. They are however pointing out that media isn’t an impartial observer, and that skews everyone’s perception of what is happening.

Anyway someone else responded with citations for the dem hit list, which backs up everything i said except “he voted for trump” which is impossible to know because we have secret ballots but he told his friend he voted for trump.

Now tell me honestly, if the guy who shot charlie kirk turns out to have no known political affiliations but a hit list of republican politicians and activists - you’d be saying it’s complicated?


> Please provide sources for all of your claims, I made sure to verify what I wrote before I wrote it.

And then provided none of those supposed “verifications” for what are probably very honorable and honest reasons.
