Utah DPS person is saying it was definitively a political

[Ilsa]

assassination. Says they have a person of interest in custody, but not the shooter. So how can he say it is definitely a political assassination?

This man seems really emotionally tied in, but not necessarily professionally. He has said a few interesting things, but doesn't impress me as being objective in his law enforcement.

He left me confused.

4. Give them a break

They only got their talking points from the White House a few minutes ago.

2. The person of interest is probably the one who asked Kirk the 'mass shooter' questions before he was murdered

Who COULD be in the know, but I suspect it's just a coincidence.

9. Listening to Ari Melber and expert guests, and

10. NO they do have a second person of interest in custody... not Zinn the earlier guy.

11. Yeah, it had to be explained several different ways

because the press audience seemed confused as well.

12. Apparently the news broke just as the talking head went to the podium.

14. And Chris O'Leary, former FBI, just commented that

the motivation is not yet apparent. The shooter may have had another issue with Kirk. It might not be political. Maybe the shooter wants to be the vanguard of a new violent social movement in the US.
