His death is already sparking comparisons on the right to the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“This is a War,” Turning Point Action COO Tyler Bowyer posted on X, later adding on Bannon’s War Room: “The anger you feel right now must turn into activism.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who previously worked for Turning Point USA, posted: “We are not murdering people. Leftists are. We are re-living the 60s. The tides have turned. Examples need to be made. Their hate will be their downfall.”

    “Boelter was registered to vote in Oklahoma as a Republican for the 2004 United States presidential election, though on a state document in 2019, Boelter wrote that he had “no party preference”.[8] A longtime Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, resident who knew Boelter as a fourth-grade student in his childhood town since 1976, told reporters he was stunned to learn that Boelter is a suspect in the attacks. He described Boelter as “a conservative who voted for President Donald Trump and was strongly against abortion rights””

    Yet no information has been released on the shooter, making these assholes look stupid, and their agenda more glaringly obvious than it already was. I don’t care that your little fascist buddy was shot for spreading hate. What I care about are people taking advantage of the situation and inflamming the divide even more.
