Eagerly awaiting the “he was a covert operative Republican voter, secretly a democrat!1!1!” postings a la the guy who shot at Trump

Yeah they're still insisting that the guy who murdered the Hortmans is a "democrat" despite him having right-wing signifies all over him, because he got himself onto a state panel once.

I bet they'll scour this guys history to find him saying something good about Dennis Kucinich on some forum in 2015 or something to prove that he's really an antifa sleeper agent.

Which is hilarious considering that Trump wasn't a Republican until he decided to run for office.

He funded white Democrats before Obama.
