Republican Congressman and Fox News Fearmongers About "Jihadist attack", to scare more old people

with non-existing or to the contrary or conflated speculation. When are Republicans going to be held to task by voters or the media for their racist and fact free free mongering for political gain with their ever trembling "base", otherwise known as the tea party folk?

Representative Michael McCaul, the chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security, said that as many as four people died in the attack, including the gunman.

On a conference call with reporters, Mr. McCaul said that authorities had identified the suspect as Ivan Lopez but that a motive for the shooting remained unclear.

The gunman was wearing an Army uniform, but it was unclear whether he was on active duty, Mr. McCaul said.

He said that law enforcement authorities might have prevented a third shooting, prompting concern that the base is “becoming a target for potential jihadists.”

The mad shooter is described as a white male, his name is Ivan Lopez, 33 years old......a Ft. Hood soldier.........these fear mongering liars of Foxaganda and the GOP have to go from positions of power any way peaceably possible. Using a non- attack non-event fictional could be instead to attack the fearsome Mooslims because something something unrelated...boo!...is as despicable as it gets.

That doesn't seem to be the case here, early word is that it was a workplace dispute that went violent.

The Christian Crusaders are never going to buy it, of course.
