3. No self-respecting domestic terrorist would hand a pair of pipe bombs to MTG.

And does anyone think that MTG made those bombs?

If you go to the 2:25 mark and pause the video you see the guy next to a recycling bin. Those things are a standard height. IIRC, the rim is about 41 inches from the ground. Using that as a reference I’d guess the guy to be about 6 feet tall. According to online info MTG is 5’3”.

If MTG was the bomber and had been caught the right would have lost a vote in Congress and the FBI would have immediately suspected she had accomplices. Moreover, militia guys are inherently sexist, and their type would be itching to do the job themselves, not hand it off to a woman.

On the other hand, if they used some random militia terrorist guy who has experience with explosives and possibly military background, he would be far less likely to mess up, and if he was caught he could claim to be a lone wolf.

Also, this video is a year old. There’s no knew information here.
