That is sad...hell even the right wing got involved with Fake News and pure speculation (SHOCKER!)
The website YourNewsWire tweeted out an article making wild claims about the shooters connections to antifa. The story cobbled together photos from the Facebook page allegedly belonging to the shooter with a photograph of a different person holding an anti-fascist flag.
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones joined the fray. Jones a prominent promoter of the false theory that antifa was going to violently overthrow the Trump administration on Nov. 4 wondered whether the shooter was part of the Antifa revolution against Christians and conservatives or a Isis op?
Mike Cernovich doubled down. He tweeted that Photos of Texas shooter is consistent with profile of Antifa member. This is looking more and more like Antifa terror. (Authorities have provided no evidence to date of the shooter being tied to antifa.)
A Twitter user named Mustachio shared what he claimed was a video manifesto of the shooter ― whom he called a Muslim convert, Samir al-Hajeed ― along with fake photos. He was trolling. (Spreading the name Samir al-Hajeed after a shooting is a long-standing hoax.) As Snopes reported, Mustachio was cited by a couple of websites, including right-wing site Freedom Daily.
On Monday, radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested that the Texas shooting, along with an alleged assault on Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) by his neighbor, the New York truck attack and threats against the Environmental Protection Agency together served as evidence of his larger point: Terrorists come straight from the Democrat party.
Nothing like fear and lies from the right wing...where is the FAKE NEWS outrage from the Tangerine Toddler
