The media is falling all over itself to spread the GOP spin that Robert Bowers is not a Trump supporter. At some point Bowers felt Trump wasn’t violent and anti-semitic enough for him, so he stopped supporting him. But make no mistake – Trump’s message of hatred and division is at the center of this. Trump radicalized Bowers and hundreds of other like who now feel that their racial grievances have been legitimized.
Federal prosecutors have filed hate crime charges against a Pennsylvania man who authorities say stormed a Pittsburgh synagogue and opened fire, killing 11 people.
Robert Bowers, 46, of suburban Baldwin, surrendered to authorities after Saturday morning’s shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue. It’s believed he made anti-Semitic statements during the shooting and targeted Jews in posts on social media that are a focus of the investigation, according to a federal law enforcement official.
