Authorities are still working to identify a motive and are looking into whether Balmer was motivated by antisemitism, according to Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo.

“I can’t speak to it directly because it’s not of record,” Chardo told CNN on Monday. “We’re looking at the possibility that it was geared towards the governor’s religion and his views on Israel.”

A source familiar with the investigation said there was not yet an indication antisemitism was a factor in the incident, but said the investigation into Balmer and his motives remained ongoing.

Investigators believe mental health issues may be a factor, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Officials were struck by how casual and relaxed the suspect was throughout the ordeal, the source said.

So they're going to blame this on antisemtism and find some way to work the left and student protestors into this, huh? Cool. Just totally ignore the fact the dude was probably hopped up on culture war shit and was looking to kill a dem politician for being a pedophile or whatever.

It's so horrifying to see 21st century nazis goosestepping into the room, heiling Hitler, and then pointing to someone else and saying "they're an antisemite! We must destroy them!"
