MAGA Republicans have jumped to blame Democrats for a fatal shooting at a Texas immigration facility that killed two people and injured another.
Federal authorities say detainees were among the victims and no federal agents had been shot.
However, even before the circumstances of the shooting were known, Vice President JD Vance posted on X that the obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop.
Right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer also chimed in, declaring that its pretty obvious a memo has gone out to the radical left. They will be killing their targets from roof tops.

Stop being so obvious about it.

MIRt took care of that problem toot sweet.

Sorry if my skepticism mode is on high alert, especially given the statements in the past few days from these lunatics declaring that they're going after "left wing" radical groups for "terrorism".

Coincidence?

(18,181 posts)According to whom? Kash Patel? Kristy Noem?
I would take that with a huge grain of salt, any competent shooter with a halfway decent rifle would've hit those ICEholes, sorry, but my skepticism at this claim, not from you but from the news outlets, coming from Kash or Kristy is highly suspect, given their statements recently about going after "left wing" radical groups.

Nothing they have to say means anything.
