We need an archive link to this from this guy OR someone else verifying that this is true. I tried to find it, but couldn't. I'll give everyone a half an hour.

Edit: Thanks for everyone doing so much research. The crazy thing is, when you go to @DavidShuster, the comment doesn't show up at all and it looks the account hasn't been active for a year or so. But then RedJard linked and archived the original. LillyPip confirmed that it is his account.

    I assume you mean proof as to the claims.
    But just in case if you mean the tweet being made and made by that account, it is still up and I made an archived version of it.

    The account claims to be

    journalist [...] TYT.com Rebel HQ. Previously anchored for MSNBC + AJAM

    I'm going to leave this up and let you all decide if this is true or not. He hasn't been confirmed as this journalist, but x is a POS organization, so everyone gets to decide for themselves.

    I trust David Shuster as a journalist, but I personally really would prefer more evidence.

    It's not checkmarked as officially him though. It's not that I'm doubting the journalist, we don't know if this is him.

    This article from 2010 quotes and links to that same Twitter account as being his, so it looks real as far as I can tell. Other articles and references I’ve found more recently also link to that same account. It looks legit.

    Remember, the blue check no longer means ‘verified’ – now it only means ‘paid for premium’ (since Musk took over, he changed it such that you just have to pay monthly for the blue check, not be the verified person), so I wouldn’t put stock in that blue check now.

    e: it’s at the bottom, here’s the quote:

    Meanwhile Shuster hasn’t made a peep on Twitter since MSNBC called his direct tweets to O’Keefe “inappropriate.” It will be one week tomorrow morning – we’ve reached out to MSNBC to see if there has been any suspension. Either way, he can communicate through Red Eye‘s in-box…

    Didn't Spencer Cox even say that he is shattered that the shooter was "one of us" (read: white male) and not an immigrant? Like on TV, not in a cocaine-fueled xitter rant post.

    Edit: Found it

    What a pathetic excuse for an elected leader. Almost crying because the shooter was "one of them" and not their fake "enemy".

    The investigation is ongoing, but I want to make it crystal clear right now to whoever did this. We will find you. We will try you and we will hold you accountable to the furthest extent of the law. And I just want to remind people that we still have the death penalty here in the state of Utah.

    We can return violence with violence, we can return hate with hate. And that's the problem with political violence, is it metastasizes. Because we can always point the finger at the other side. And at some point, we have to find an off ramp, or it's going to get much much worse.

    Incredible the difference a day can make.

    The second quote is from 13:20 in the video linked above me. https://youtu.be/WNWEwyPTh_M?t=800 if you're lazy.

    The first quote is from the same guy a day or two earlier, I found it transcribed in a fox news article and won't go looking for it again.

    I don't understand why he's trying to spin it like people from Utah are exceptional people for not rioting and burning cars. The guy was a grifting YouTuber. It's not like the president died.

    The people who make it a regular habit to attack others because of who they are, yet also somehow have a persecution complex, find it pretty easy to assume that when one of their own gets attacked it's because of who they are too. It's like a damned street gang that's looking for a fight. "One of themmmm killed one of ussss, time to counter attack! To waaar!"

    "... oh shit THAT bullet was from our side TOO? I think nobody noticed. Can we get this party started or what!?"

    It's as gross as it is predictable. Their reactions to these shootings always follow the same rule: a member of the master race killing one of the subhumans is just an unfortunate fact of life, but one of the subhumans killing a member of the master race merits national if not global headlines that will at minimum be memorable trivia for people who lived through that year.

    And I say this as an old white dude.

    I think he also meant Mormon. IIRC the shooter's family is Mormon.

    Mormons have historically been extremely racist. It was pretty recently that they stopped preaching that black people are black because god cursed them (the curse of Ham). They put on a smiling, demure front, and the church has tried very hard to rehabilitate their image, but the Mormon religion is pretty fucked up.

    Not cancelled, delayed. The screeches about this being a left wing plot going back decades haven't gotten rolling yet. The far right's civil war will be back on by suppertime.

    No, Nick Fuentes. Satan is way less far right

    Nazism.

    They want a return to Nazism.

    Nick Fuentes is where the path Charlie Kirk paved leads.

    Nick Fuentes is an open and proud Nazi and says so on his live streams.

    Imagine the most vile, ridiculous position you can think of a right-wing nutjob could take, multiply that by all the positions neonazis take, and then make him look like Dr Mephesto’s mini-me version of 1940s Spike Jones (the comedy band leader, not the modern Spike Jonze) with the confidence and hubris of the sleaziest car salesman you’ve ever seen.

    This dude is so far gone he used to stalk and harass Charlie Kirk himself for online video clout, and he bragged openly about “infecting and impregnating Turning Point USA” and “fucking it raw from the inside out” (not sure what he claimed to have done to cause that, but it’s some shit he spewed on camera).

    It would come as no surprise to me that his little cult of groypers are far enough gone to have been the perpetrators here. We shall see when the details come out. I hope he makes it to trial and the sunlight hits all of this ugliness; though I fear it’s all become UV resistant at this point, and it will just stir up a bunch of “look what the left made us do just by existing!” nonsense.

    Yeah, depending on interpretation that's true. It's just difficult to explain how both Jesus and Satan could be radical leftists without a long conversation about religion and the false dichotomy of the political direction

    Satan is pretty liberal, I mean he didn't subscribe to authoritarian God, he's cool with anyone's sexuality or gender. He's not the one send people to hell because they broke a rule... He was sent there too.

    Groyper vs TPUSA Gang violence.
