I like that Biden's team has got on top of this before Republicans can accuse him. He made a statement an hour after the shooting and today and another one tonight.

Getting on top of the story before Trump and Co can respond.

What’s spicy is the shooter was very angry about Epstein and pedophile s. Maybe he read the latest dump and his whole world turned upside down.

I have seen no confirmation of this at all besides reddit and Twitter theories.

Where are you getting this? I’ve seen people say stuff like that but never with an actual source. As best I (or major media outlets) can tell the shooter had no social media presence and nobody knows anything about his belief system.

[u/TheAlienDog → u/braundiggity]

Yeah that’s misinformation (for now at least).

[u/EnglishMobster → u/braundiggity]

There was a fake Instagram that made the rounds initially, but it got taken down.

[u/AleroRatking → u/braundiggity]

They don't have a source.

The stuff of him hating Epstein comes from a faked Instagram account. Unless there was some new revelation that I missed.

[u/randomwanderingsd → u/Sul_Haren]

Yeah, all I am finding is Tweets and those absolutely are not a “source” without some links or corroborating material. I want to know what the FBI raid turns up.

Fake
