Some very crazy stuff.

Condemnation Pours Out After Trump Rally Shooting. So Do Heated Allegations.
Prominent Republicans rushed to tie the shooting to Biden—and issued threats of their own.

prominent Republicans began accusing President Biden and Democrats of causing the attack due to their anti-Trump rhetoric—and, in doing so, issued threats of their own. All of that is despite the fact that no information has been released on the shooter’s identity as of Saturday evening—which even Trump acknowledged in his first statement after the shooting.

Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) claimed in a post on X that the local district attorney “should immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination”; in another post, he claimed, “Joe Biden sent the orders,” responding to a statement Biden allegedly made earlier this week that “it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
