First of all, he was talking about the Planned Parenthood shooting. You guys like to cite all of the multiple shootings involving things like people being shot at disputes at parties or while being robbed on campus by people from off campus in "school shootings" and anything else you can throw in when doing the stupid "domestic terrorism" comparisons. And the left is specifically calling the PP shooter a "domestic terrorist." Now they aren't comparable. lmao
He said something fucking stoopid. Deal with it.
